from No Dunks · host iHeartPodcasts

On Tue.'s No Dunks, the guys discuss the 20th anniversary of Greece defeating Team USA 101–95 in the semifinals of the 2006 FIBA World Championship in Japan. How did the US lose to a team that had zero active NBA players? What happened to young LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul, Dwyane Wade, Dwight Howard, and Chris Bosh? And what impact did 'Baby Shaq' Sofoklis Schortsanitis have on the game? All that, plus a never-before-seen photo of a young JD in a toga. 🏝️ No Buffs' Survivor 51 cast reaction: https://bit.ly/4zCKyyO ✍️ Get No Dunks ad-free episodes on Substack: https://nodunks.substack.com/ 👕 Fix up, look sharp in No Dunks merch: https://bit.ly/4qi6nin 📈 Subscribe to No Dunks on YouTube: YouTube.com/nodunksinc 𝕏 Follow No Dunks on Twitter/X: https://x.com/NoDunksInc 📸 Follow No Dunks on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nodunksinc/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
