    I have been reading all over every forum of the Utah Jazz and on every such site where they have forums, the fans of the Utah Jazz are calling the Greek 2nd division, where Giannis Adetokoubo (Adetokunbo) plays, “semi-professional”.

    Greek 2nd division is NOT “semi-professional”. It is a FULLY professional senior men’s league and level. It is NOT in any way, shape, or form “semi-professional”.

    The Greek THIRD division – the National B League……….THAT is Greece’s semi-professional league. The league level BELOW the Greek 2nd division.

    So the nerd fans of the Utah Jazz – please get your facts right.

    Why don’t you post this on those forums? I’m not really sure anyone cares.

    I joined to a Jazz forum and made one post and said,

    “Greek second division A2 League is not semi-pro. It is full pro league. Greek third division, the B League, is the semi pro league in Greece.

    The A means fully professional and the number means which division. So if it says A it means a full pro league, and the number is which division, the top (1) or the second (2). The “B” means it is semi-pro league.”

    I was banned before I could make another post. Then they deleted my post.

      This doesn’t surprise me. We all wish Aran would do the same.

          Your blind optimism is inspiring. As a constructive criticism be more civil to the people you disagree with. You have a wealth of knowledge, share it. Do not force it. Argue your points clearly and do not throw words like ‘racism’ around without genuine meaning and evidence to support your claim.

    Maybe the Jazz forum has the right idea with Euroballer?

    Well they are paid so they are professional… I think they just play like amatures so they get confused.

    Chris Broussard’s Sources tell me that Greek 2nd Divison  teams have to clean the gyms after they are done using them and before the home middle school squad uses them for games.

    I feel you, EuroBaller…It seems like I can hardly walk through the streets without stepping on an ignorant Utah Jazz fan nerd who is ignorant about Greek pro basketball
