Greek NT 2024

1. Just average or good nba players can get nba clubs *reccomendation* to rest this summer.

Top 20 players can reccomend their clubs go and f*** off and they still would get max contract from 99% of nba clubs.

We saw few summers ago Mavericks organisation main people came to europe to find Luka with max contract not other way around.


2. Doncic will try to make olympics 100%.He wont play if he has broken bone or some real damage on his body.

Way better chance Doncic wont play in 2025 because of rest but not in Olympic summer.

Perhaps he was not going to be selected in the first place. He's competing with Papanikolaou, Papapetrou and Kalaitzakis for a roster spot as a SF. So he decided to 'rest'.

He cited "personal reasons" so lets not be hasty. Maybe there is something going on. Life is not just basketball.

Shawshank care to elaborate on your comment before about unfair tricks on home court?

That's true, if his knee will be 100% ok. It's totally different situation, if that won't be the case. Just insurance would be enormous in that case. My much bigger concern is in what physically and mentally shape will he be after Finals.

As I said club circus is not over yet. The great scholar, intelectual, scientist and drug-addict Giannakopoulos is so pissed off that his circus club lost two games in a row against the the other circus club that he threatens to remove his players from the national team.

I wouldn't care less about the Greek basketball league. The season was over when PAO won the EL title. Some teams will probably not even be participating in the Greek basketball League ten years from now. It's pointless.

Papapetrou did not clearify after the 4th final game if he is planning to play for the preolympic tournament.

He said that he will decide after 5th game (https://www.sportdog.gr/mpasket/bask...sw-gia-ethnikh)

Yes this is impressive.

So now the circus is over, all clowns can go home and its time for real men. Papapetrou still refused to speak about the NT and also Sloukas was not enthusiastic about its NT participation. The beef between the two Eternals again has an influence on the NT locker room. Its so sad.

[Victorious]

It's all normal. Olympiacos was the best team in Greece during the last few years. They were the best team in Europe last year, and lost the final game on one shot. Then one of their best players signs for the archrival and that team becomes European Champion with him as a protagonist. Pao not only achieves what Olympiacos so dearly was trying to achieve last year, but also wins its seventh title. Distancing itself from the three EL titles that Olympiacos has won. If that's not enough, Olympiacos was leading 0-2 in the Greek league championship Final and then ends up loosing 3-2. Confirming Pao's supremacy and transition of power. And all this, in large part, because one of Olympiakos' own players signed for Pao.

How can players not be influenced by this? They are human beings with hopes and dreams, who sweat throughout their lives and throughout the season to achieve someting memorable. And then you get this slap in your face. How can Olympiacos' ego not be hurt? How can Pao, one of the most succesful teams historically, not react once they become Kings once again?

So one does not need to take it too personal. Consider the above, and accept the humane shortcommings of your teammates in the NT. Get over it, and unite in order to achieve something greater. Because the NT is on another level. Club teams are only more important for hard core fanatics and luanatics.

Papapetrou is out!

Papapetrou got another job for the sumner:

Sloukas was injured with fracture at the final game of basket league. This is probably not big deal and can be overcome until pre-Olympic tournament.
But let's see..

[fasoulaki]

It is discussed that Sloukas will join the NT camp later and only play in the knock-out phase of the PreOlympic tournament.
