A big crash test for some of the best European teams is Acropolis Tournament..
I will be held in Athens' Olympic Stadium from 24th-26th August 2009 with the following participants.
Greece
Lithuania
Russia
Serbia
Great news, big teams will test each other, only a few days before Eurobasket...
It will indeed be a big tournament looking at the participants. A great preparation for all teams. Well done for organizers.
At last the Acropolis Tournament will be held on acceptable dates! Me being in Athens at that time that is <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

I might even get to watch the Greece NT for the 1st time ever, believe it or not. Not to mention Lithuania NT!
Wow, that's a really great tournament.
Agreed
A great tournament and bar Spain - those could easily be the final four in Eurobasket!

Welcome to TalkBasket Paul! We are glad to have you on board.
Personally I don't expect much from Russia as David Blatt promised to bring new squad.
