Vasilis Spanoulis Pushes Back on Ataman’s Giannis Comments Before Semi-Final

Turkish coach Ergin Ataman stirred things up before Türkiye’s EuroBasket semi-final with Greece, saying Giannis Antetokounmpo commits “many, many offensive fouls.” Greek coach Spanoulis fired back, crediting Ataman’s gamesmanship but defending his star. “I think they call more offensive fouls than they should and they don’t give him the fouls he should,” Spanoulis said.
