Now, Giannis, as an Olympian Greek, can carry the Greek flag leading the Greek Olympic team into the stadium in Paris.

Please delete the negative, hateful, and racist comments it would be more fair for the friends of basketball.

Ευχαριστούμε πολύ! 💪🥇

Hi FIBA

Yes congratulations to Greece.

Giannis better not throw his team under the bus if he doesn't win a Medal! He has done this a lot on his teammates in the past and to.the Coaches if he does it this time he's going to complain to the Greek minister of sports to fire the coach and bringing another one just like you did to the Milwaukee Bucks coach Time After Time I can see him say by the coach get another or else i will become a American Citizen and Change my Name to John this man is a conspiracy theory player you watch he's going to be like that

​@@jimmyk127no way with Spanoulis.

🤕🤣🤣🤣

Love the the family 🇬🇷🇷🇸🇭🇷

Thanks a lot. Let's have a good Olympic tournament in Paris

Nous gagnons

Josh Brett the legend :D:D "Papayiannis said SPITI MOU EINAI EDW" LMAO

Hell yes!!! 😂

Luben το βαζει σε καθε βιντεο με την εθνικη μπασκετ μεσα😂😂😂

Congratz to you too guys!

🇬🇷 🤝 🇵🇭

thank you man love from Greece

Thank you brother

Don't do many likes they will change their comment afterwards.

Thanks brother

🇬🇷 🤝 🇹🇷

It’s not a Favorite. All Greeks have humble expectations for this team but we still Love them & support them. Now, if we had these guys, we would have a better chance: 👇🏻 Papagiannis Mitoglou Giannis Papanikolaou Rogavopoulos Papapetrou Thanasis Kalaitzakis Toliopoulos Dorsey Sloukas Calathes

He can get second place after Teodosic

@@Srbenda126I think he is better than him. Even in Passing. Teodosic tries even more flamboyant passes tho! 😃

Lol you tell hes better than doncic?😂

@@velipulla3936 Overall, of course not. As a passer & playmaker, Yes…he is better than Doncic. Doncic is a much more Elite Shooter and offers many other qualities tho 👍🏻

@@SpartanLeonidas1821 nah doncic is the best passer in the nba...so he is in europe as well

We already have medals in Olympics. We want "THE MEDAL"🏅

@@ianbarbaros2248 we do?

For the big things Sloukas is missing. With him they can beat everybody but without him Serbia, Usa, Canada, France and Germany are stronger.

I wouldn't rush saying that Hreece will get a medal in the Olympics. However the team is solid and there is certainly a chance

@@ianbarbaros2248 Greece has 155 medals at the Olympics but none of them is in basketball. You probably mean Eurobasket and World Cup

Thanks bro 🇭🇷🇬🇷

Nije fer da cak dvi ekipe tipe Slovenije i Hrvatske ne idu na Olimpijske igre...

You played very well in the final as well. To be honest if Croatia had the same depth as Greece the match would come down to the last point

Congratz to Croatia too, you have a great team. I watch NBA too, Zu has to change team if Clippers continue to not have plays for him. They literally turned him into a scapegoat for the funs when hes a monster

having these Qualifiers at neutral venues , would have been more interesting , maybe have them in the country of the Olympics because the hosts are already qualified - maybe at Lyon or some place? with the home crowd , this was too easy fro Greece. also , there should be at least 2 days rest between games , i don't even know why they rush these Qualifiers into a couple of days

well giannis was really bad at this game,greece also was really bad.very boring game

What Giannis did in the game? Classic fanboys....

Greece played really well actually ​@@xdx2653

@@user-oc5cd1eb6z giannis played very bad at this game,but not only giannis.was a really bad game imo. however giannis scored 23 points if i dont make wrong.23 points are not bad at all

Same opinion, bad game from Jannis. But can you imagine what is possible if he and all the other, played good or very good?

Him and Calathes are quite underrated

ohh you on yt too?😅

That was very impressive 👏

This is the impact Giannis had on the match. If anyone thinks he didn't play well they should learn that the whole Croatian strategy was to stop him

@@theoneeditor399 Stop what, he was so scared the whole match, once he understood its european basketball not nba with defence zone and everything.

​@@user-oc5cd1eb6zΜην έτρεμε και όλας ..!!😂😂😂 Απλός πέφτανε τρείς τέσσερις επάνω του και αυτός σκεφτόταν πως θα το διαχειριστή !!!😂 Αλλά οι Κροάτες δεν κατάλαβαν μάλλον ότι δεν έχουμε μόνο τον Γιάννη έχουμε ομαδάρα και Γιάννη !!! ❤️🇬🇷❤️

@@user-lo2il8yk4y Ευτυχώς θα έρθει ο Σλούκας στους Ολυμπιακούς γιατί εκεί ζορίζει το πράγμα. Με αιρμπολς δεν γίνετια δουλειά. Να ναι καλά ο Καλάθης στα 35 που πήρε την ομάδα απ το χέρι και κουβάλησε όλη τη σειρά...

Greece doesn't have insane shooters, some are decent but it's coaches's Spanoulis tactics that leave open shots under good circumstances with little to no defense.

The flag bearer should be Tentoglou. No debate there. 🇬🇷

@@joanne_gls8348 I think they mentioned that Tentoglou was to be the flag bearer but he declined so it will have to be someone else

@@nick-youtube Fountoulis maybe from the men's water polo team? They won silver in both the last 2021 Olympics and the 2023 World championship. Very excited we'll have both teams in Paris!

@@dazyroze Or Petrounias!!

@@konair9952 Petrounias along with Korakaki were the flag bearers in 2021 Olympics.

Congratulations for this win. If Sloukas will be part of this team you guys could win medal in Paris. I was in Piraeus during group stage and that was my first time in Greece and it was great trip for me! People, food, weather... I will be back for sure once in the life. Good luck in Paris!

@@Marijan-kk2cw Nah, even with Sloukas + Papapetrou there are teams that are just better/deeper than us. Definitely USA, Serbia, Germany and Canada. France and Australia are also most likely superior (definitely roster-wise). And you can never count out Spain ofc. We are about equals atm! And then you also got possible dark horses like Puerto Rico, who might surprise many. Medal is out of the question, if we're being realistic. We will definitely lose to Canada and probably to Australia as well (we got a shot against Australia, if we catch them in a shooting off-night) and then it's 50-50 against Spain. I will be super delighted with a QF appearance! Anything more would constitute a miracle! Either way, thanks bro!

@@jay_kulinano dont agree with almost anything you say. Apart from USA and possibly France, there is no team with fuller roster. This does not mean we would beat or they would beat etc but with regard to rosters high level.

@@innosanto So, Serbia with Jokic, Bogdan, Misic, Guduric, Marinkovic, Milutinov(back-up center, who is like 3 times better than Papagiannis, our starter), Jovic as leaders plus more Euroleague starters like Kalinic, Dobric, Avramovic(do you remember at all how he did last year?) is not better and deeper than Greece, right? Germany with Schroeder, Wagner bros, Theis and backups like Lo, Bonga, Thiemann, Babb, Olinde, Voigtmann is not superior, huh? Or Canada with 10 NBAers (would be 11, but GSW didn't let Wiggins play). Just tell me you know nothing without actually telling me, bruh!

​@@jay_kulina calm down, you're exaggerating and sounding terrified

Haaaa doci CES I ti na red .Sacekaj Malo imali ste laksu grupu .

Liku proc cete grupu i nakon toga ispadate. Mislim da si cijeli dan cekao da izgubimo samo da napises komentar

E pa vas sigurno ne budemo gledali.

I ja sam navijao sa Grcku ali opet ne mrzim ni hrvatske kosarkase. Zubac je jedan od dobrih prijatelja bio nasem pokojnom Dejanu Milojevicu.

Where are you from?

Thank u

The USA is too athletic and gifted ...they are going to win gold

yeah cause having 1-2 people < having a well-rounded team

People will be underestimating crotia, I'm pretty sure they beat Luka. Greece is just better and crotia was hanging in there until the first half haha.

You should've known better from watching NBA itself that having couple of stars can't beat a balanced team.

2 NBA guys vs a team with one of the top 5 NBA guys in the world (when healthy)

Saric and Zubac aren't nothing more than average players,Saric is not even average,wasted talent with an IQ of a squirrel

😂😂

It’s not only giannis though! Love from Greece🇬🇷🇯🇵

Who plays dirty?

@@SpartanLeonidas1821 new zealand apparently group stage

@@konstantinospavlidis6668 Oh damn.

Yep. The legend!

I agree!

The whole stadium was cheering his name!

yeah it's his first olympic and Olympics probably mean the most to Greeks

@@gabepizza I believe it means the highest achievement to 99.99% of the athletes around the world

@@TMPOUZI maybe Greeks a little bit more because the first Olympics in agent history was in Greece

Yes byt is very clear by now that the two leagues have progressed un different directions and in some ways have different types of the game now. In 1980s and up to mid 1990s NBA was closer to how game is played in Europe.

Hey to Serbia from Greece. All the best. Also supporting Djokovic the man in Wimbledon.

What was unfair, Greece too had to play two games in two days.

The 3 min highlights are crap, need to watch the extended highlights that will come out later. Good game defensively from Croatia and closer than it seems.

I dont think people create the video but is automatically created

Refs weren’t bad this game I don’t think.

@@SpartanLeonidas1821 Yes because you are maybe from Latvia and you do not want to see what was going on. 3-4 very flagrant fouls from Latvian players, that deserved ejection. I understand frustration when you are loosing 20+ points, I've been in such situation couple of times but never do the same.

@@bangievski Which game was that?

@@Ivan80054 Fiba has NOTHING to do with the olympic tournament and the qualification system. it's the IOC. and with so many sports at the Olympic games... it's just not possible to have more teams in Basketball. because: more teams = more athletes. and even the 10.000 athletes right now who qualified for Paris are way to much.

@@bobyvolley5639 Sorry, u r right, i meant on IOC but as i said system needs to change.

​@@Ivan80054 not possible. if you want more teams in Basketball... than the same with football, handball, water polo, hockey, volleyball and so. so just not possible. if you don't take one of the 12 spots... then you just not deserve to be at the olympics.

@@bobyvolley5639 That’s why I always advocate for putting Olympic basketball under 23 while make fiba World Cup as the main pinnacle for international basketball… there, they can extend the teams more than 32 teams in the event

@@bobyvolley5639 Well make more sports part of OG or remove unatractive ones.
