    Papaloukas, Diamantidis, Spanoulis, OH MY! If you take a trip out of your small NBA bubble, you will understand that those players were the hottest thing the European basketball had to show at that time. Precision, smart defense and game awareness were their strong attributes. They didn't have the tough physical play most NBA players have, but if you let them roll their game, they will wipe the floor with you. Don't believe me? Well, push the play button and find out for yourselves.

    The Greeks have proven once more what they have been doing for thousands of years now; winning and prevailing against all odds. Besides the Greek excellent and well studied game, interesting were the faces of the USA players; arrogant and disrespectful at the beginning but worried and bewildered when they had realised that they might have lost the game. Respect however to the very talented USA players. As regards the commentator, he knew nothing about the Greek players besides their names and he did not give them the respect they truly deserved.

    The USA team has been beaten before,since 2002(by Argentina),not once,Greece was a reigning European champion,very good and solid team,stacked with a great players at each position(Spanoulis,Papaloukas,Diamantidis,Fotsis,Papadopoulos,Dikoudis,Sofo),plus the USA team were outplayed tactically in coaching by Giannakis,so it wasn't such a surprise.

    Being Greek, this is my favourite basketball game of all time. This is the best greek national team ever, because even though we didn't have a Hall of Famer such as Nick Galis or a superstar like Giannis Antetokounmpo, we had a deep roster which was more than capable on defence and there was a variety of players who could carry the offensive load. Now, being an NBA fan, I wasn't able to follow the NBA consistently back then as I do now, so this was the first tournament I ever got to see LeBron James play and thus I didn't get the hype about LBJ, so having this as the first impression, I wasn't a big fan of him ever since (even though he turned out to be one of the all time greats). On the contrary, I did watch the '06 NBA finals and I was instantly hooked by Dwyane Wade's performance in those finals series and he was the one player I was worried about in this particular game. Last but not least, I was always kind of Meh-ish about Melo. I consider him as a good player, but I've never considered him as a great player.

    Andreas Papadakis Yes, probably the 1984 team would lost the game against this Greek performance and in a neutral court. I don’t think that they drop the towel though. They did fight till the end of the game. Now, about the gaming style that you refer to, actually that was a transition time for NBA, going from a sane 3 point shooting to today’s insane 3 point shooting. The luck of big 3 point shooters was an issue for the old USA teams.

    The USA was a powerhouse with Le Bron (31.4 ppg that year in the NBA), Dwayne Wade (2006 NBA champion and Finals MVP), a top-form Carmelo (26.5 ppg), Dwight Howard (2nd in rebounding in the NBA with 12.5 rpg), Chris Bosh (22.5 ppg), Chris Paul (Rookie of the year), Elton Brand (10 rpg that year), Shane Battier (81 games for the Grizzlies who later became 2x NBA Champion) and Antawn Jamison (82 games for the Wizards, 20.5 ppg and 9.3 reb) and YET they still got outclassed by the Greek team...! What an incredible feat! As a Greek, I'll never forget that night.
