Cavolo ogni volta che vedo immagini di quella semifinale olimpica contro il Brasile....però come mi mancherà non vedere più giocare Giba!! troppo un grande!!
Sergio is a fking beast. He's prob one of the only libero that I can remember the name to. And I knew that Matey and Giba was prob going to be in your top 2.
Other great champions: Kim Ho chul, IMO best setter of all times, 176 cm, I remember when he blocked Gustafson. (Santal Parma - Korea); Leonel Marshall, Cuba. Yuri Sapega, Alexander Savin (CSKA Moskva); Renan Dal Zotto (Brasil, very similar to Giba); Karch Kiraly, Steve Timmons and Pat Powers (USA); and many many others.
I think Grbic Sergio Giba are pretty obvious, especially for their positions. Kurek can bounce, but i wouldn't put him in the top 5 best players.. I think Milkovic should be in here for sure. I'm not too familiar with this Bulgarian. Seems pretty sick though.
In technique, attitude and flair, Giba is above everybody else, spiking and scoring he's also as good as anyone. Best overall player no doubt. However he's in descending curve at 36 y.o. Someone may appear and surpass him..in the future, probably, but not yet, IMO, he's the Michael Jordan of volleyball.
You might want to update this video and your rankings because Giba has seen better days long time ago.... Don't get me wrong, but there is a lot of young guns who have risen up while Giba is closer to his retirement. Even some of his Brazilian teammates outscore him. Need a hint? go check the lists of the MVP recipients, and there is a constant name: Maxim Mikhaylov, he's the man.

Alright this guy is crazy!!! Are you kidding me?!! Where was Clayton Stanley! Or Leonel Marshal! And come one really Giba was on there before Dante!? Your insane!
Comon! Miljkovic is over 30 years old, he barely jumps! He was the best, last season he was still one of the best opposites, but this season has been dramatic, Right now there are many better opposites than him, he is just getting old ;)
Kurek na 3 miejscu jest zdecydowanie nad wyraz... żeby 1 z 5 najlepszych go nazwać to przesada, słabe zagrywki gdyż często je psuje ok 3/5 i podpala się przy ataku i często łapie czapki.... świetny gracz jednak nie najlepsza 5 świata
