Rasho Nesterovich, Rony Seikaly, and Peja Stojakovic all spent their entire basketball development in Greece. From the time they were kids they were trained in Greece how to play basketball. It's interesting how you purposely choose to distort the facts by leaving them out by using the not so clever "born" in Greece caveat. So I guess since Dominique Wilkins was born in France that means that even though his basketball development was in the USA, according to your logic, he is a French player and not an American one. Rasho Nesterovich, Rony Seikaly, and Peja Stojakovic all are considered Greek basketball players since that is where their entire basketball development occurred. I guess according to you, none of them were good NBA players. Your post is either a purposeful and intentional distortion of facts, or you have a lack of NBA basketball knowledge to not even know where players like Peja and Seikaly were developed. Or more likely, it is both. Your post basically exposes you for not having much NBA basketball knowledge.
Ignore his comments. He does not have basic basketball knowledge. Rasho Nesterovich, Rony Seikaly, and Peja Stojakovic were all completely developed in Greece. Peja finished second in the MVP voting one year in the NBA and he is considered a Greek basketball program product.
I don't think I can cheer for someone with a mono-brow, beside he looks very oily and smelly, might disrupt team chemistry. I have watched Euro-Basketball back when Jstuc Nappalovic was playing, what I say is the truth so if you question my "knowledge" I will just tell you to shut up.
From like kindergarten through the end of high school age, Seikaly lived in Greece and attended the PAO Athens basketball school. Also, Sarunas Jasikevicius played high school and college basketball in the USA and I have never in my life ever heard an NBA fan claim him as a USA basketball product.
If by second in the MVP voting, you mean was once second in the MIP voting and 2nd team all-NBA, you would be correct. Peja was in Greece from 1993-1998 (ages 16-21, roughly). Jasikevicius was in America from about age 15-22 -- he's more of a USA basketball product than Peja is a Greek basketball product.
Rony Seikaly is from Lebanon, and played on the U.S. National Team -> the pride of the Greek basketball nation! Even Greece's designated internet basketball troll is stupendously corrupt and incompetent, a sad testament to national dysfunction.
Seikaly grew up from the time he was a very little kid to an adult in Greece. He lived in Athens during his entire childhood and played basketball all those years he was growing up at the PAO Athens basketball school. Basic NBA basketball 101 knowledge that Seikaly is from Greece. Every single NBA fan on the planet that followed the game back then knows that. Your comments prove that you are a novice NBA fan.
Poor Seikaly, he was a refugee from Lebanon who go stuck in Athens for a few years, then fled life in goat-heaven to go the US at the first opportunity, proudly donning the red-white & blue in international competition. No wonder his parents now have a house back in Beirut as they are ashamed of having had to live in Athens. Imagine how terrible Greece must be if you'd rather be living amid Palestinian-Israeli bombs than Athens.
So his 4 years at Syracuse playing at the highest level of American amateur basketball was immaterial at did nothing to further his basketball acumen? He was "completely developed" in Greece, after all....
Does he have to celebrate after every basket? It's a blow out and the dude is jumping up and down after a wide open layup

Haha; to be fair, Von Wafer does the same thing and we loved him for it. It was funny watching him vs. the Heat.
Good game for him, but all he did was catch and shoot and I'm 100% sure he's not half the athlete Budinger or C-Lee are.. honestly maybe a better shooter... not worth it..
