If this were soccer, Galis would have won Ballon D'Ors and the Euro or World Cup. He's up there with Messi and Ronaldo. It's really hard to tell how good he would have been if he had anyone at his level in Europe. No one pushed him the way that Ronaldo pushed Messi or Nadal pushed Federer or Djokovic pushed the other two and vice versa. When you're running the 100m in 9.5 seconds, you need someone running it at 9.45 to push you to reach that next level. But still he played at a level that no one else has matched over the past 30 years including 2 great players like Dirk Nowitzki and Giannis Antetonkounmpo.

@@jeremiahdanielsamuel2505 You must definitely be from the USA to make such a statement. Only someone that is so misinformed could say so many inaccuracies. People in USA have the perception that scoring in Europe was easy.....First of all I will just state some facts that are undisputed and that is that game in Europe are 40min and the duration of the offense was 30sec so the number of possesions was significantly smaller. On top of that the 3p line was in 6,25m and not in 7,25m like in the NBA so there was much lesser space in which to operate in between and the mid range and near the basket area was really packed (hold that because I will give you an example later to understand how packed it was). Now if you think that the 3p line being closer than in NBA contributed to Galis' scoring because of the distance well think again because Galis almost never shot the 3 but thrived in the mid range and near the rim so it was to his disadvantage because he had lesser space to operate. To underastand now that it was really packed and difficult in Europe I will give you an example. Galis at age 37 played for PAO and averaged in Euroleague with 24ppg with 60%FG(like he did HIS ENTIRE CAREER) and at the same time he was no1 in assists in the league. Now if you think that this is nothing because it is Euroleague well think again. Two years later one of the best NBA scorers of his era named Dominique Wilkins came at age 36 to play for PAO as well. Do you know what he averaged? 18ppg on a 45% FG. Dominique also didn't shoot the 3p that much and found very very hard to put big numbers in the packed rim of Europe. And I understand in his first season he might have had adaptation issues, but in the second season in Euroleague he scored even less. So to sum up a freakish athlete and great scorer like Dominique couldn't put Galis' numbers in the slowpaced and packed basketball in Europe and he was by a mile far in terms of efficeincy as he was 45% FG and Galis was 60% FOR HIS ENTIRE CAREER...... Ah and don't forget! Galis was just 1.83m while Dominique was 2.03m.

@@jeremiahdanielsamuel2505 First of all Blasphemy is a Greek Word "Blasfemia" :) Second of all, of course Jordan was overall better, he is the GOAT. 🐐 Galis, however, is one of the greatest International Ballers of all time…that is for sure undeniable. Take care my friend! 👍

@@jeremiahdanielsamuel2505 Look 1.23 and 2.12 to see if MJ could stop N.Galis. No one could stop Galis, like the all star NBA player Bob Mac Adoo couldn't stop him. Bob played against Galis 6 times and Galis scored against him 35 points average! One time he scored against him 45 points and in another, he scored 50 points!!! Can you imagine? If it is blasphemy that Galis was better than MJ, blasphemy as well is saying that there was anyone who could stop Nick Galis

@@METALSCAVENGER78 It is full of hype, because European league during his time is incomparable (sub-par) with the NBA (the highest level of basketball during his time, even today), player quality wise. Isiah Thomas will beat Galis at any day, let alone Jordan. Want to know a proof that Euroleague is sub-par during his time, well NBA players are not allowed to play in either of FIBA World Cup or Olympics. And that speaks huge volume to you, of the quality of player where Jordan played versus the quality of player where Galis played.

Hahaha, not trueeeee :) in fact Galis was so goood, that he turned down NBA career just to play for his country Greece, I can even find you writen evidence for this, he knew if he play in NBA he would never be able to play for Greece, but his country of origin was much more important to him, so even from that side, he has my GREATEST RESPECT. Yeah its 300% truth: Galis never went to NBA because he wanted to play for his country of origin Greece. Make your research
