    Yall trippin couse OP referred to Boban as top center in Europe? Does it remind your consciousness of Joey Dorsey? Dorsey was never top anything in Europe, don't know who ever came up with that top title for Joey, but Boban would eat Joey alive. On court and literally.

    Crazy measurement(Gobert level) and advanced stats(Anthony Davis level, albeit in Europe) and he's in prime age...

    I don't want the Spurs to get a good player. But B-Boban would be awesome!

    Maybe if basketballholic loses, he should be Bobanned.

    Greek League is the greatest domestic league in europe as I have demosntrated conclusively over the years.

    Despite collapse and austerity, their fertilizer production remains strong.

    The strongest among them in 2012 was star center Joey Dorsey, the Dwight Howard of Greece.

    His length measurements are very similar to Gobert and Whiteside's, except he has 50 pounds on both of them and is 10 inches short on his vertical. That may be a concern, a 20 inch vertical is pretty horrible. It worked for Yao, but Yao was a very special player.

    .... averaging 5.4 points per game.

    I mean, nice sarcasm, but Spain, Turkey, VTB are definitely better. Italy and France are probably better, they are on Germany level.

    Greek teams outside of Pao and Oly have traditions but they have no money because of Greek economy so there is no contest obviously from Greek League to the tops of Europe.

    AEK, PAOK and Aris were all drawn as the fifth out of six pots in Eurocup, the tournament that is one step lower than Euroleague.

    So they are ranged from 20-26 in Eurocup from 32 teams.

    That's clearly not impressive at all.

    The sixth pots for example are with Hungarian and Romanian teams, for example

    Greece has very powerful pots, stronger than your puny Spanish pottery; your shards do not even compare.

    You owe satisfaction. I challenge you to PANKRATION at the sacred circle.

    No thanks. Would possibly re-consider if you changed your name to Boban4basketballholicsapplesthathewontletyouhave. :eek:


    On a serious note, I'm not going to quibble over minutes. His role will be as Timmy's primary backup at the 5. If he stays healthy he'll be in the rotation and will have to be reckoned with come playoff/championship time.

    B-Bob, after offering perhaps the most heroic bet in GARM history. Calm, secure in his own skin. Needs a cane, sure, but who doesn't? That's a superb sense of style you've got going there, B-Bob.

    Basketballholic, thinking long and hard about B-Bob's offer, just before turning it down. Pensive, needs a shave, looking a bit confused at an important juncture in life's journey. Here is a chance to prove just how wrong everyone was to doubt him. Yes, he thought long and hard. The result? It is an image of decisive consternation.

    Not basketball related at all, but I hope B-Bob loses this bet. B-Boban is too much of a win.

    I don't think this bet is in bballholic's hands anymore. CFnet has spoken and have chosen to accept the bet on bballholic's behalf.

    LOL!

    Handsborrow was ****ting his pants.

    He looked at Boban's hand gestures and probably thought he was going to eat him.
