In Greece we have many basketball fans but we haven't retro fans like for example Spain(2 sites where i download the games are spanish).I sometimes like to watch games even if it isnt in the best quality.Firstly I watched the semifinal of the greek cup of 1992-93 ,there wasnt any final 4, between Olympiakos Pireus and Aris Salonica.It was the first season after the signing of Nick Galis to Panathinaikos and Aris had conquered his first european trophy winning in Torino Efes Pilsen of Petar Naumoski.Olympiakos after the dryness of the 80s he had signed as coach John Ioanides ,the Architect of the Emperor of the 80s (Aris) and having defeated Aris for the quarterfinals of the Greek Championship wanted to play in the cup final after 1986 when he was defeated from Panathinaikos.The game started in SEF(stadium of peace and friendship),with both teams close score and Tomic with his 3pt and Paspaliej unstoping machine from Olympiakos and Tarpley power play near the basket and Gasparis 3pts from Aris.In the second part of the game Olympiakos got away 6 points from Aris but in the final minutes Gianakis who had 1/9 shots with a 3 point shot and a shot in the final seconds gives the victory to Aris and leaves Ioanides screaming about the referees.The other game was the final of 1995 Eurobasket in Athens between Yugoslavia(without Croatia and Slovenia) and Lithuania.Yugoslavia because of the war of Clinton was banned from sport meetings from 1992-1994 and Lithuania was playing its first final after the fall of the Soviet Union.The game started with both teams playing hard and this resulted the 4 fouls of Divac from the 1st half.Lithuania except the miracle of nature (Sabonis) had and Karnisovas with his crucial baskets.In the second half Lithuania was better but because of Djorjevic 3 points shots and secretary of FIBA,Stankovic got this unfair win.Noone ever saw the 5th foul of Sabonis or the offensive foul of Stombergas who resulted in a Technical foul . I believe if the referees were playing 50-50 ,specially the Black American the result would be different!!!!!!
