Am i the only person who has noticed that in 2012 final spanoulis travels?...he catches the ball and makes three clear steps before pass it to printezis........
Spanoulis is Greek Killer, Mamba mentality. Huge respect from Lithuania. Wish all the best in his coaching carrier. Probably, he will become coach of Olimpiakos
My father said "In a match they were losing by a 15 points, Spanoulis came from bench and made a "calm everybody" gesture. Team begin to play like a machine and won." He was a leader.
Great interview talking about basketball. The reporters in Greece always focus so much in the rivalry of Panathinaikos and Olympiakos ,while talking to these legends and they dont speak about basketball as you did. Gongrats for your interview.
Great interview guys.Great Job! As a 44 yearls old Panathinaikos fan who was present in 4 final fours Bologna Thessaloniki Athens Berlin watching Vspan breaking down all those plays is amazing.Despite the hate and rivalry huge respect for this Greek legend of ours..Lucky to see him in person playing for us and against us..
Αυτό ακριβώς ρε φιλε. Καταλαβαίνω γιατί πείραξε ορισμένους Παναθηναϊκούς η μετακινηση του ( μέχρι ενός σημείου γιατί κάποια στιγμή το πράγμα είχε ξεφύγει) αλλά το να έχεις την πολυτέλεια σαν ελληνικό μπάσκετ να έχεις 2 θρύλους σαν τον Σπανούλη και τον Διαμαντίδη ( που για εμένα έγινε ο πιο ολοκληρωμένος Ελληνας μπασκετμπολίστας όλων των εποχών) και να τους μειώνεις λόγω οπαδισμου είναι καταντια

You made Vasilis teach us with your MAGNIFICENT INTERVIEW. THANK YOU DONATAS. Vasilis will be a great coach. He has the wits and the total respect and admiration from all of his players. If you watch the last two matches of the Greek national team the players are going full throttle in the transition offence because he knows they are not a "team" yet. Plus, this style is tailor made for Yiannis.
In the CSK final moment the now captain got the rebound, gave it to the big man captain in that year and then he passed it to the previous captain to score. Amazing.
Wow Great content man, congrats, Amazing to hear the goat himself explaining and breaking down the Spanoulis play and his famoys side steps and buzzer beaters , just amazing !!!
I was always amazed by how well he played pick n rolls (the passing part) - he in fact made a name for many centers of Olympiakos. It would have been nice if you had such plays too, because in my eyes they were also extraordinary. He was passing free dunks and he made it look so easy..
He was coached by ivkovic,obradovic,bartzokas,giannakis,sfairopoulos Coached by the best one of the best to play basketball in Europe he will be one the best coaches in Europe and so jasikevicius I hope he will coach OLYMPIACOS..
I think its quite evident that this guy has learnt basket from the very best coaches in the world. You can tell his game understanding is very high by how nicely he explains it. Only through deep knowledge you get to deliver the message that clearly. Have really high hopes for the cooperation between Vspan and Giannis in the national team.
Donatas, once again you set a very high standard. You guys have the best channel for basketball. No bs, no taking yourselves too serious,funny,houmorous,ALWAYS onpoint with understanding of the sport. Keep up the good work man. Great interview!
What a great video! He is one of the best and smartest players in EuroLeague history (or the best), and he will be one of the best and smartest coaches in the history as well…
Great job guys, Vassilis is the kind of player that young athletes should watch. Smart, cold, sadly I didn't have the chance to watch a match live cause I know it was always crazy to assist.
what a legend, so many times he got me jumping up and down with his speculator plays. It's great to see that he's on his way to become a legendary coach as well. The real "Mr Basketball"
Us Greek fans were blessed to have players like Vasilis, Diamantidis and Papaloukas in the European courts the last two decades. We love you Billy, even us Panathinaikos fans respect you despite leaving for Olympiakos. You proved yourself the best way possible
Back then, NBA short-minded managers could not admit that an overseas player could reach high numbers. Many Europeans went for a season or two and then returned to the Euroleague. I was young back then, so I can't remember the reason. It could be the overall performance, but come on, give players some time to adjust. Spanoulis evolved to be the best playmaker in the Euroleague. Not only did he drive to the basket anytime he wanted, but he also had a great percentage in 3s. He retired on 2021, and was 1st in overall points for 3 years until only now Mike James surpassed him, and he is still 3rd in overall career assists. I mean Llull and Rodriguez still play only to surpass him in points. Terrible management by Houston Rockets back then.
The team was treating him like young rookie when he was already big star ,he dint play a lot, he had a failed coach .Popovic want it him but you know spanoulis cant have a second role...
Some of them did but Van Gundy - eho was not coach when they chose Spanoulis -was not pne of them. Van Gundy believed Euro players should stay in bench first year. He had issues with another player as well dont remember who. But the American-Serb of the Spurs which wanted Spanoulis second year was great for since that coach knows both NBA and Euro basketball, so the second year was Spanoulis mistake to ask to break contract but he was very angry.
Spanoulis (2.7 ppg in the NBA) is so overrated. His accomplishes in Euroleague are accomplishments in a 2nd tier league. In the big boy league he was 2.7 ppg. Everyone keeps mentioning that ONE game against Team USA, but forgets about the very next game, the biggest game of his career, the 2006 FIBA World Championship gold medal game against Spain without the Pau Gasol (the tournament MVP) Spanoulis went 1-10 scoring a measly 4 points. Or how about the 2012 Olympic Qualifying tournament when Spanoulis got his game winning shot BLOCKED and Greece was ELIMINATED by Nigeria?!!! Probably the only time a European NT has ever been eliminated by an African (or Asian) NT in a knockout round of any tournament.
@@PapChriss I know you're joking. By better with better players? Yes NBA is 100x better then Euroleague. Kemba Walker? He was washed up before he went to Euroleague. Euroleague MVPs are bench warmers in the NBA. Just look at any all-tournament team in a FIBA Competition and the majority of them are NBA players. Saying Euroleague close in talent to the NBA is much more delusional then saying that the CBA is on pair with Euroleague.
@innosanto I'm a little young and I don't see for first hand Galis Era. But I see many games (all the game, not just highlights) from this era like: Aris final 4 of 88' 89' 90' Aris games with: Jugoplastiga, Olimpia Milano, Maccabi, Barcelona and also derby with PAOK. Also I see many games of Greek National Team of 87 & 89 and other. My final opinion is that Spanoulis is better than Galis.
@@thespartanscorpion2752 You saw the best games of Galis and your opinion is that Spanoulis is better? And perhaps you saw the best games of Jordan and your opinion is that Brian Scalabrine is better 😆
He is better than McGrady and would be better in NBA as well. They didnt tey to use him. The coach that chose him in the team was not Van Gundy and rhen Van Gundy came who believes that European players ahould not play their forst year. Then Spanoulis imo made mistake to refuse to play with Spurs the second year.
@@Dee-KV3 That's your opinion. He never proved it. Lots of these great Euroleague players would have one great game but then the next game score in single digits. It's about consistency night in and night out against the best competition in the world. He's greatness is against lessor competition. Anthony Parker was a great player in Euroleague, in the NBA he was average.
Coach Giannakis 20 years ago said that if you leave locked and hungry in front of steak in one room Spanoulis and Osama Bin laden dont have any doubt ... Spanoulis will eat both the steak and Osama Bin Laden
This is the guy that will save Greek basket-ball. The next 30-year "basket-ball man" in the likes of Faidon Mathaiou, Giannis Ioannidis and Panagiotis Giannakis. For all the greatness he acheieved as a player, he will be more infuential as a coach. He is taught by some of the greatest (Duda, Zeljko) and his mind is only basket-ball mode... He cares less about cars, cribs, life-style or personal agenda... This guy is a true Hellenic Icon
Printezis was once asked if he liked going out more with spanoulis or papanikolaou or someone else... He said he hates going out with spanoulis because he only talks about basketball... Obviously he was joking but i can see what he means...

Legend! Thank you for everything you have offered to Oly, Bill!
G.O.A.T. of Euroleague
I was always amazed by how well he played pick n rolls (the passing part) - he in fact made a name for many centers of Olympiakos. It would have been nice if you had such plays too, because in my eyes they were also extraordinary. He was passing free dunks and he made it look so easy..
Thank you Legend!
He was coached by ivkovic,obradovic,bartzokas,giannakis,sfairopoulos
Coached by the best one of the best to play basketball in Europe he will be one the best coaches in Europe and so jasikevicius I hope he will coach OLYMPIACOS..
The weird part is that probably the worst coach of his pro career, excluding national team, was Jeff Van Gundy.
The goat!!! Amazing job at interviewing Donatas! Good questions and you gave the space for Spanoulis to speak

Galis is the best Greek player to ever play the game.

How can Spanoulis play be Dusan Ivkovic when he did it against USA 2006 and is in video.
This was not "Spanoulis Action" I believe. It was just a screen of Sofo - if we are talking about the same thing.
