That video comes to us from Ball Don’t Lie, and it shows a huge group of crazed basketball fans welcoming Corey Maggette to Greece.
Yeah, THAT Corey Maggette.
He just joined PAOK in Thessaloniki, Greece’s second largest city… and he was MOBBED upon arrival. They must not know who he is. Either that or they saw a picture of him at the gym and assume he’s an unstoppable beast.
The good thing, as I’ve learned from my family dinners around the holidays, is that Greeks are a level-headed, even-keeled people who won’t overreact if he’s anything less than a scoring machine (sorry if I broke your sarcasm detector). Good luck over there Corey.
After the jump, more videos showing Thessaloniki’s insane love for a sort-of-ok NBA player.
