Also assuming that the 'Greek Freak' is Simmons' nickname for Giannis, disapprove

netw3rk @netw3rk 3mRudy Gay should ban all forms of writing and symbols from the locker room.

I kind of hope that Rudy ends up the first significant player traded every year just for comedy value

That Cavs video reminds me that I'd really, really love to have Austin Carr and Quinn Buckner call a Cavs/Pacers game together. Both know / elucidate the game well + are giggly as fuck + sound like a cool mix of assistant coach & excited fan and get caught up urging players on.

It just sounds bad and doesn't roll off the tongue
No announcer's gonna use it

His nickname is "The Greek Freak".[5]
― fit and working again, Monday, 9 December 2013 19:27 (ten years ago) link
yeah i guess something original like G-Ant is much better

Quincy Pondexter (foot) out for season
― moullet, Monday, 9 December 2013 19:29 (ten years ago) link
He doesn't need a nickname
I clicked on the citation and the only reference to to "The Greak Freek" was in the headline itself
Gonna edit the article to take that out

We need to talk about the youngest player in the NBA. The one they call the Greek Freak. The one who was sent here to save pro basketball in Wisconsin. Where did he come from?

BTW, good post from Lowe explaining the Gay to the Kings trade http://www.grantland.com/blog/the-triangle/post/_/id/85058/a-new-king-what-the-rudy-gay-trade-means-for-toronto-and-sacramento

xp Man, can't believe that the 'Greak Freek' has caught on over my strenuous objections
Terrible day for basketball

Jordan Crawford player of the week here in bizarro world
― Clay, Monday, 9 December 2013 21:19 (ten years ago) link
I feel like the dirk J is technically not that hard, it's just that few players are tall enough to pull it off
But yeah impressive mastery for a guy who's.... 19 years old?!

19 years old and played on some third tier greek team last year
― lag∞n, Monday, 9 December 2013 21:22 (ten years ago) link
Doctors say he has potentially 2 more inches to grow I think
Buildwise he reminds me of Jonathan Bender
But he's already much better at utilizing his length
― 乒乓, Monday, 9 December 2013 21:27 (ten years ago) link
hes already more muscular than bender or durant hes prob gonna be kinda huge in a lanky way
― lag∞n, Monday, 9 December 2013 21:30 (ten years ago) link
His game kinda reminds me of Barbosa
― 乒乓, Monday, 9 December 2013 21:32 (ten years ago) link
If you call him anything other than Gianntula you're doing it wrong imo
― polyphonic, Monday, 9 December 2013 21:35 (ten years ago) link
wow the competition to nickname this guy is really intense
― lag∞n, Monday, 9 December 2013 21:36 (ten years ago) link
He doesn't need one
He's been in the league for 15 minutes
― 乒乓, Monday, 9 December 2013 21:37 (ten years ago) link
i mean *i* have a eurostep, pretty sure everyone who plays bball dabbles in eurosteps
some of the passes in that video though o_0
― k3vin k., Monday, 9 December 2013 21:50 (ten years ago) link
a (nba game ready) eurostep, congrats tho

Impressed that k3v has a nba-ready Eurostep
You try out for any teams yet man

oh you guys

show me how to dirk kev
― lag∞n, Monday, 9 December 2013 22:19 (ten years ago) link
i am going to work on my dirk though for real, i was just thinking about that. my usual go-to move on the left side is to spin and drive baseline
― k3vin k., Monday, 9 December 2013 22:20 (ten years ago) link
Air balled a dirk attempt on Saturday! It's not easy cos in essence it's a fadeaway and fadeaways are v v hard. Eurostep scares me cos bad ankles.
― Al He Miola (Spottie), Monday, 9 December 2013 22:30 (ten years ago) link
Yeah the dirk is a fadeaway for people who can't jump

if defenses have to respect the dirk that makes yr baseline move that much easier then the only question is where the double comes from if its the opposite corner you have an easy jump pass for the short three
― lag∞n, Monday, 9 December 2013 22:32 (ten years ago) link
In other words................................................................... perfect for k3v
― 乒乓, Monday, 9 December 2013 22:33 (ten years ago) link
its only a matter of time before the scouting catches up to him tho
― lag∞n, Monday, 9 December 2013 22:33 (ten years ago) link
gotta get that j off against drummond's d somehow, dirkin prob a good choice
