Thats right but he also have a giant heart, Galis led GREECE national team on his shoulders almost alone to the gold medal in 1987 eurobasket and silver in 1989 eurobasket. Is incredible looked at Galis scoring against giants like Sabonis and Tachenko both 7'3". He was amazing Galis mix up heart , determination, strength and also courage. He skills were unick.
@joevald32 I think ...   (Loetjnant)29.12.2009
@joevald32 I think I should add a couple of things about his character. Gallis was a force of nature. He didn`t just play. He was *unleashed*. Incredibly tough, he never even smiled. He had this inner strength thing, that came from having been through one hell of a tough childhood in that ghetto. He also had that *eye of the tiger* thing, again typical of people who have matured early. There​in, I think, lies the secret of great athletes. Passion, determination, inner strength.

Playing with americans and latinos explain thats why he dont have the classic european style basketball player and thats why he was so strong and athletic. I know Galis history by a good friend from GREECE but i didnt know that Galis live in New Jersey. I knew that he played with Seton Hall in college 1975 to 1979. I think he could be SUPERSTAR in the NBA with no dout.

All that history i know it but that doesnt mean that he was better than Jordan. Galis is a LEGEND and in europe no body was greater than him. Because of him GREECE today is one of the best FIBA teams in the world, Galis make GREECE big and make them love the game. I am from Puerto Rico but i love GREECE and there game and i wish they can win a medal in the next 2010 world championships. Beside i have a friend from GREECE that know a lot of Galis.
Averaging more than ...   (Loetjnant)29.11.2009
Averaging more than 30 pts per game every season, Galis was the indisputable leader of Aris Thessaloniki.​ Playing alongside other great players at Aris such as P. Giannakis and Slobodan Subotić, Galis won 8 Greek Championships​ (7 of them consecutively​ and 3 undefeated, in the years 1983, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991), 6 Greek Cups (4 of them consecutively, in the years 1985, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1992), and led Aris to 3 consecutive appearances at the EU Champions' Cup Final Four
In 1983, while ...   (Loetjnant)29.11.2009
In 1983, while playing in a game in the Dimitria Tournament with the Greek national team against the North Carolina Tar Heels, Greece's shooting guard Galis, while being guarded by North Carolina's shooting guard Michael Jordan, scored 50 points during the game He played in the 1986 FIBA World Championship,​ where he led all players in scoring average with 33.0 points per game. In that tournament, he had a 53 point outburst against the Panamanian national basketball team.
Gallis turned the ...   (Loetjnant)29.11.2009
Gallis turned the NBA offers down because at the time FIBA did not have professional status, something it did not gain until the year 1989, and therefore Galis would not have been allowed to play for the Greek national team if he was an NBA player. Since playing for Greece's national team meant so much to Galis, he stayed in Greece. Celtics legend Red Auerbach later said that the single biggest mistake he ever made in his career was not keeping Galis.
Galis was ...   (Loetjnant)29.11.2009
Galis was eventually selected by the Boston Celtics in the 4th round of the 1979 NBA Draft, 68th overall. Due​ to a severe injury that he suffered during the Celtics pre-season training camp, the franchise was no longer interested in offering him a contract because Gerald Henderson had taken his place. It was then that Galis decided to pursue a professional career in Greece. Galis would later be offered NBA contracts by the Celtics and the New Jersey Nets while he was playing in Greece.
Gallis was a NJ boy ...   (Loetjnant)29.11.2009
Gallis was a NJ boy. Originally a pugilist (boxer) he later turned to Basket Ball. He grew up in a NJ ghetto, playing basketball with Latino and African-Ameri​can kids. After high school, Galis enrolled at Seton Hall University as a college basketball player. In his senior season, Galis, a shooting guard, saw his scoring average reach 27.5 points per game, which was third in the nation behind Idaho State's Lawrence Butler (30.1 ppg) and Indiana State's Larry Bird (28.6 ppg),
