BTW Spanoulis is listed at 203 pounds in this tournament, 8 pounds heavier than nba.com has him listed at.
I said it on a diff board "Steve Novak and my man from Hellas will be the biggest suprise this year, something like Head last year, but probably they will have a bigger impact!"
he looks buff...similiar to Nash...thats why he likes to take contact and is not scared when he drives to the basket...when he refines all his skills, man he is going to be a dangerous man!
Oh, sorry, of course he made 2Assists! This was some years ago. He thought to be ready as a Player and did not have to improve anymore, but after an two bad saisons he made a turn. He moved to bigger club (Olympiakos Piräus which is also one of the big clubs in Europe) where he had to improve himself to play, and he did. He became also 3rd in the voting for the best young Payer in the Euroleague this saison(1st was Bargnani, 2nd Splitter). Yesterday he shows why! He was nearly unstopable in the Offence an also great in the Defence! He had 8 Points in 11min with 4/4 FG, made 1 Assist and 3 Steals against France The People from the Clippers wanted him to come to the NBA this year (after this great saison), but Big-Sofo decided to stay one more year with Olympiakos Piräus!
V Span shot over the heads of his opponents in this game with France. He will be travelling into China for the 2nd FIBA Stankovic Continental Champions Cup in Nanjing August 10 ~ 15. So prior to meeting at the training camp in Houston and the World Championships, Yao Ming is going to meet with his new team mates on the court, Spanoulis and Shane Battier (who will be in China, playing the Chinese national team on August 7 in Guangzhou) all in China !!!
So the Rockets have 3 players competing in World Championships. Can any other NBA team say that? Hah?!?
this guy must really be crap if he has like 10 different jersey numbers. those you tube highlight that were shown in another post dont mean anything if he can produce consistently.
how about you save your coments for something like lebanon vs israel wtf are you expecting from a youtube video which runs for about two minutes...get your facts straight... and what the hell are numbers supposed to mean...europe is no NBA! people in europe are not high on buying basketball jerseys...so who gives a .... let me give you some facts, and everyone else, so we can stop with these kind of comments Spanoulis is a young player with a great body...he did not play enough to have an impact at any team he played with..he is surely starting to get his minutes, because of what he does good...he is a smart player, strong, runs the court well and is a solid shooter...what makes him special to me and probably the rockets organization is that he improved consistantly at a high level, which means he will still improve:because of his age, because of his body, his IQ and he will play at a higher intensity level, the NBA.... I do not think the rox made a bad decision...but I do think that we should not be expecting a nash player the first season...so calm the f out... I am more excited about him then battier, snyder and novak all together and one more thing....getting a player from europe is always a plus..more attention, better revenue etc peace
he shouldnt take it to personal, I just got a little pissed about this whole thing, so I had to explain it a little don, no worries brother
Face every greek basketball fan is going to be buying a t-mac jersey like the chinese do. That means money. Also the guys is definetly a work in progress if he sees 10 mins a game ill be suprised.
i think his nickname should be Uni...lets hope he trims up those eyebrows before coming to texas or he might end up stuffed on someones wall
