Milwaukee Bucks Drafting Players With Suspected Fake Ages

[Euroleague]

So, let's look at the Milwaukee Bucks and their apparent obsession with drafting guys that are supposedly older than their profile listings.

They drafted...

Yi Jianlian, who is listed as being born in 1987. But many sources around FIBA basketball, the NBA, and China, claim that he was really born in 1984. The Bucks drafted him.

Ersan Ilyasova, who is listed as being born in 1987, in Turkey (although some sources claim a date of birth of 1984). Yet many sources in Europe claim that his real name is Arsen Ilyasov, that he was actually born in Uzbekistan, and that he was actually born in 1982. The Bucks drafted him.

Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is listed as being born in 1994, yet there are many rumors and discussions in Greece that he was actually probably born around 1990 or 1991. The Bucks drafted him.

Thon Maker, who is listed as being born in 1996 or 1997 depending on the source (they can't seem to decide on which one is correct, which is reminiscent of Ilyasova (Ilyasov), who also had 2 different birth year listings (1984 and 1987), depending on the source....

Yet, it is claimed by numerous sources that he was probably born around 1992 or 1993. The Bucks drafted him.

Giannis can't even hit a wide open jump shot. He's one of the worst shooters in European absketball...maybe the worst.

Giannis turns the ball over like crazy in FIBA basketball, where they actually call traveling.

Greek fans are already starting to call Giannis out all over Greek basketball forums. Because he still can't shoot, and because he has no natural position on offense or defense, which makes him wreck any roster.

Hell, he can't even hit a ****ing free throw.

Christos Tapoutos >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Giannis

You are a mental midget. You also think Dellavedova is a good player. You are clearly about 8 years old, and have an IQ of around 65.

Which sources?

[Milbuck]

Agreed, Giannis is better than Spanoulis ever was. Spanoulis seems like the type of guy to single handedly cost his national team against Spain in Eurobasket by sucking balls on both ends last summer then promptly retire. Not sure if it actually happened, if you could shed some light on the matter it'd be much appreciated.

[Milbuck]

Which sources?

There's zero sources for Giannis. None whatsoever. It'd be like me calling Porzingis 25. He's just beyond salty that Giannis like a month into his rookie season surpassed peak Spanoulis.

Giannis is the reason Greece loses every summer, for 3 straight years, and it will be 4 straight years very soon.

Spanoulis won 5 medals, 2 of them gold medals.

It will be an absolute miracle if Giannis ever wins even a single a bronze medal.

So far, in 4 years and counting, Giannis' national team career is an absolute joke.

Oh, you mean like Spanoulis' pro career?

Total bullshit. There have been many people in Greece that claimed Giannis was in high school in the mid 2000s, and that they were his classmates.

You are just salty because you are punk ass little racist bitch.

Post a source.

Here's a source:

Spanoulis has won 16 championships in his pro career.

Giannis lost in a first round playoff series, once in his career - that's his highlight of his career.

Spanoulis is better than Giannis ever was and it's not even close

[Milbuck]

18 year old rookie Giannis pretty much doubled absolute peak Spanoulis' stats in the NBA

[Euroleague]

Spanoulis is better than Giannis ever was and it's not even close

AGREED

[Milbuck]

Spanoulis has won 16 championships in his pro career.

Remind me again when Spanoulis won 16 NBA championships?
