Yea like he says, his way to the league had nothing to do with his brother. Now his second stint after getting left in the bushes is all his brother
True Giannis wasn't even a star when Thanasis got drafted. But at the same time siblings of highly regarded players get drafted and signed all the time based on their last names. 3 Plumlees have played in the NBA...

I have a cousin who played overseas and he would come home and torch D-1 college kids during the summer or when he was in between contracts. And my cousin is like 5’9 or 5’10 MAYBE. He wasn’t even playing serious for real. He’d take a few 3s, and once they realized he could shoot and had to play him up he’d just take them off the dribble... easily

It was crazy because I’m thinking he’s not that great cause he couldn’t make it to the league, but in comparison to everybody else, we might as well have been playing against an NBA player, lol.
There’s only ~450 total slots in the league for every 19+ yo in the world. If you make a living hooping, you got some shyt to you, especially compared to a vast majority of amateurs. The training alone will give you a big leg up

It was probably a regular ymca or neighborhood park hooper. Put Thanasis against a top high school recruit and let's see what happens.


Put some Respect on Thanasis name. He look like a bum against the best players in the world. He would cook 99.9% of the rest of the population.
