With Giannis and Thanasis Antetokounmpo and also with Georgios Kalaitzakis, the Milwaukee Bucks have three Greek players on their roster. Giannis and Thanasis have each played 13 games so far this season, while the rookie Kalaitzakis has played in 5 games.

 

Have there been any other examples of an NBA team having three players from the same country on their team? Excluding USA of course. I can't think of any in recent memory.

 

I can think of teams with two players from the same country but not three.

Definitely. You only need to look at the current NBA rosters to answer your own question. You might want to start with the Detroit Pistons ...

 

On another note:

1) Does anyone here have any thoughts about the NBA top 75 list?

2) Who do people on here pick for the NBA awards (MVP, DPOY, ROY, MIP, 6th man) this year?

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

They have a three Canadians. I just looked at all the current NBA rosters and unless I'm mistaken, only the Pistons with three Canadians and the Bucks with three Greeks meet this criteria.

 

Yet you were so dismissive and made it seem like there are many many teams which fit this criteria...

 

Curious to see if we are the only European country with this, ever.

For matches left in the regular season and LA Lakers aka the oldest team in the league is four games behind SA Spurs for the last play-in spot :p I wonder if Jennie Buss has the audacity to blow this pensioners house up after the season? Anthony Davis is injured for like the 12th time this season and Russell Westbrook has been terrible. The fomer triple double king is nothing more than a bench player this season.

 

We could see a Bucks vs Suns finals repeat this season again IMO.

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
