Greece 🇬🇷 & USA Basketball 🇺🇸 in the 2006 Semi-Final, loaded with stars including LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Dwight Howard, Chris Bosh, Dimitris Diamantidis, Vassilis Spanoulis, Sofoklis Schortsanitis.
It's nice to be reminded just how monstrously athletic Dwight was, also DWade. Lebron then is almost still like Lebron now, which is remarkable. We also saw a glimpse of the future in Papaloukas, who mirror Doncic at the PG with size and IQ.
greece basket cups football european cup gold metals in olympic games..tennis tsitsipas...what and the hell;;; a small country well done kids proud to be greek...cypriot
People talk about lebron greatest bball player of all time, they lost to greece. It should be papaloukas or spanoulis or ginobili or jasikevicius, even arroyo
@Carl The One "choked again"? lmao what? When did they ever choke?? This is how ik that you don't know shit about basketball. & in 2008 they would of won with or without Kobe lmao Wade was in his prime, Bron was a few yrs away from his prime but he was at his athletic prime & arguably the best in the league & Carmelo was top notch as well
Team USA barely had any plays and feels like they aren't a team here, full of ISO basketballs, Dwight had always been a monster on the paint but the casts were off and still young in this game.
Thats true, for us Greeks it was more important to have beaten USA than to get first place, we know we can beat Spain even though we lost a lot of times to them , there is a big rivalry there. It was an achievement for us because USA is the best at basketball. Hope we can get back to succeeding because after the crisis we keep losing. Hopefully with the new coach and if we have fewer absences we can get back to it.
Team USA was beaten by TEAMWORK. CRISP PASSING and excellent EXECUTION. That is what EURO and LATIN AMERICAN TEAMS plays.. their System is enough to upset TEAM USA AND it's TALENTED NBA SUPERSTARS In terms of THEIR SKILLS and ATHLETICSM..
