I see that in every US basketball forum and site, it is being said that Panathinaikos never contacted Rudy and never made any offers. First, that's a lie and people are making that up. They story I posted clearly confirmed they have talked with him and some idiots are lying that did it not.

Secondly..........since it seems everyone in the US thinks this is all a lie, the coach of the Spanish national team gave an interview where he said that Rudy told him on the phone when asked about this that he will play in Europe next year.

I find it really funny reading comments on realgm.com from people using "google translator" saying things like "it says they never even talked, this story is fake".  Yeah sure, Rudy and now his national team coach both personally talking about it in one of the biggest papers in Greece and it's all "made up".
