The Greek Freak got turned into a plate of barbecued gyros. And in Spain’s tight 73-71 quarterfinal victory over Greece at EuroBasket 2015 on Tuesday, it was Bulls forward Nikola Mirotic doing the grilling.
The fourth quarter saw the Spaniards get out on the fastbreak after a steal by Mirotic, who threw the ball up the floor to teammate Sergio Rodriguez. Rodriguez then returned the favor, hitting a streaking Mirotic in stride as Greece’s resident extraterrestrial Giannis Antetokounmpo lurked in hot pursuit.
It was the meeting at the summit that our ancestors had promised us.
Ew.
