    Hopefully little Bro here has put some muscle on and gotten better so maybe he can do some rim protecting for us if needed? Or have you people (shout out to OX :giggle:) .... given up on him as a viable contributor? Only here for the pipe that Giannis is still possible?

    Alright, alright... he's only 23, so he can get better. Like... rotational NBA player, for example. He's not like his bro at all, he's very "stiff" if that makes sense.

    I'd do the Jeanie gif with her fingers but @KareemtheGreat33 would probably smack me around :D

    if only he was half way talented as Giannis, which is odd considering they seemed so similar in frame n build...Giannis looks like a Gizelle that can jump thru ceilings, Kostas looks like a broken down robot that needs lubricants

    This guy is going to have a career in the NBA by teams misguidedly signing him simply because they want his brother.

    NBA Team: What can you bring to our team?

    Kostas: I have this brother...

    But to be fair, he has SEVERAL brothers. We’ve only signed one, so it’s like we’re barely trying. :p

    LOL. You’d have something there if he’d leaned over and smelled someone’s hair.

    Adios. He was a wasted roster spot, even for a 2 way. It was a gimmick singing in hopes of getting us closer to his brother. Seemed like a good guy, just not NBA material on a contending team.

    He's a nice guy and all, but he just isn't NBA material. Great basketball body, good work ethic - but no real basketball talent, unfortunately. Giannis took it all it seems.

    I’m laughing because this thread didn’t get bumped all season, since he signed his last 2 way contract. That tells you all you need to know.

    everyone knew he was only on the team to try and entice giannis. they just couldn't make it obvious and cut him after giannis signed his max deal

    sweet deal for kostas though. he got to ride the bench and win a ring in the process
     
    tada, IE Lakers, Cookie and 2 others like this.

    im surprised he didn't wait for Giannis to pull some strings n get him on the bench for bucks....if that oldest bro is there with his lack of talent, kostas could easily ride that same bench lol

    Kostas body just seems off. Limbs that are too long for the body
