Even the most remote elementary school in Greece has a basketball court.

Spanoulis effect, he said it in his greek interview that main goals is every free shot to be taken no matter if it goes in or out and secondly winning mentality . Dark offensive horse is Toliopoulos, he has a killer instinct if he feels trusted and supported.

Calathes is definitely playing the best basketball of his career and he was vital especially in the last game against Croatia.

Giannis gravity is the key💙🤍 Shoutout to calathes man.. Hes playin his best basketball

Shoutout to calathes man

As a Hellenic NT fan I have always so much respect for Luka and Slovenia Basketball Team. We love to see Europeans like Luka excel in the NBA game.

Finally some respect for the greek team. Slovenia was obviously much worse than Greece, as was Croatia.

The different results and performances we have seen from several national teams throughout these past 4 summers prove how competitive the basketball landscape has got worldwide. Up until 10-15 years ago, Team USA was several steps ahead of everyone else, than there was a small list of competitive national teams that were not on the same level as Team USA but clearly better than the rest. Now I can recall AT LEAST 15 national teams that are not far from each other in terms of talent and efficiency. I say that because we have seen a national team achieve great results one summer 1 year before or after achieving a pretty disappointing one. This means that details like a coach's impact on the team and the single players, the mental and physical condition of a single player and many other details are going to have a HUGE impact on a game's final score.

You are very popular in Greece, you know basketball and you have a European perspective on things.

Spanoulis the GOAT

You keep mentioning that defence helped us (especially vs Slovenia), because offensively "Greece roster is limited". But we scored 96 against Slovenia, 93 vs Egypt, 109 vs Dom and "only" 80 against Croatia.

We love your coverings on these tourneys! #Atoutaler

Thanks guys. Pure basketball lovers. Greetings from Hellas(Greece).

Well said

Greece played a smart game utilising Giannis where it was needed. The team cannot be build around Giannis because it neutralises many great assets that Greece has and Spanoulis can use to increase the teams efficiency! Yes when the going get tough then Giannis might take over for a few minutes but he is very conscious and can judge how to utilise his teammates!

Greece is a good team, but there are monster teams in the Olympics, like USA, Spain, & Serbia… Cheers from Greece.

- Donatas seeing Greek NT fans: “My brothers!” - Donatas seeing Olymbaicos BC fans: “Roaches…”.

As Greek I can tell that it was not about Giannis or Papagiannis, but it was about the TEAM. No matter the comments, this team is a TEAM, solid in all aspects, and strong, united. Yes they can improve, but so far, the showed that, they won with HARD WORK and not due to star names like Giannis. Each one of them, they put a small piece on the puzzle of winning.

Players like Giannis, Luka, they'll do the job as long as you don't play hero ball and their teams will win too playing great basketball at that. When all the focus is on one player the team will choke offensively. It's a team sport and obvious as it may seem often enough teams end up doing exactly this in reality especially when it's national teams where the chemistry can often be an issue and there is one huge star among them. Greece not only about Giannis sums up nicely why Greece won easier than expected.

Finally, for the first time

The Cobra Shot stole the show !

Giannis' brother is the GOAT.

😮😮😮😮😮

Spanoulis said the team must take every open shot and Greece are gonna get so many because Giannis' floor running and paint dominance collapses defenses. If they keep taking their shots and make them at a good clip, and keep this stingy defense, Greece will medal at the Olympics.

Offense wasnt that Bad and Sloukas will add some Extra offensive Power AS well so Let the Games begin 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏀🏀🏀🏀

Stay with Slovenia we dont mind all good

💛🖤

If you add Sloukas this Team is a Killer

Vasilis Spanoulis

Although i dislike his character and his attitude, sloukas must me a part of the Greek team in the Olympics. Toliopoulos has grown up but at this stage the team still needs as scoring combo guard. Sadly, Moraitis really has to back off to give his place for him

Oh look, someone opened their eyes 😂

Go Greece

statistics cant measure inteligence of Greek Players

🇵🇷👌🏽👍🏽🇺🇸

not great offensivly but defence gives the wins

But they didn’t have an answer for Doncic how did they qualify?

nick the quick nesquik effect

You always hating Greece. First it was Panathinaikos in the EuroLeague, secondly was the national team of Greece. Either way, happy to prove the doubters wrong.

This team with the addition of Sloukas could be the 3rd best national team ever. Unfortunately, he is injured and also a little strange as fas as his connection with his teammates goes. Really sad to be honest...

Urbonas with the good words?! Greece will fail miserably

For whatever reason you guys seems that you are always get it "wrong" with everything that have to do with anything Greek! Teams, players the National Team.. 😅

And I thought you were unbiased??? Gilas!!!

The best team was the one that won the tournament without being the host

Can some Lithuanian answer me, why the government has so many restrictions with double passports, has to do with Russia or something?

Interesting because Puerto Rico was as consistent and solid has Greece. Ask Italy and Lithuania.

you cant see beyond your nose my friends leave the prediction aside!

Good for Greece, but I doubt they will be playing for a medal. They are still too weak to beat any of the top 5 teams.

Do us all a favor please and stop talking about Antetokoumpo. Its been a gruelling decade, for the first time in its glorious history the greek national team has been sidelined and all the focus taken up by a single player and his posse and its been all failure anyway.

And the worst team of the group in Olympics without sloukas we don't stand a chance
