Name: Vassilis Spanoulis Nickname: Kill Bill, V-Span (USA) Born: July 8, 1982 Status: Active Origin: Larissa, Greece Height: 6-4/1,93m Weight: 203lbs/89kg Schools: N/A Drafted: 2004, 2nd round, 50th pick overall by the Dallas Mavericks Languages: Greek, English Website: InterBasket Teams (jersey): Hellas National Team, Larissa, Maroussi Athens, Panathinaikos, Houston Rockets Ibn Notes: From Fiba.com: Nicknamed "Rocket man" not only because of his ties to Houston but also because this season - his first in the Euroleague - was an explosive one for him at Panathinaikos. After 4 seasons at Maroussi, Spanoulis was the "Chosen One" for Coach Zeljko Obradovic for Panathinaikos and very quickly became a protagonist. In his rookie Euroleague season, Vassilis was the team's leading scorer even though he often came off the bench. And he finished the season as one of the 10 nominees for the Euroleague's best team. Spanoulis loves to penetrate, is afraid of nothing and has many ways to score. The Rockets are close in bringing him on board and expressed recently their willingness to sign him next season, as they need a young and healthy playmaker behind Rafer Alston. |
