Giba is the most complete player of the last 20 years and i am not even talking of his 192 cm playing against guy 10 cm taller than him. A true legend and model for non giant players

[normazamalloaherrera]

Giba sin comparacion. No hay otro igual Grande demais
Abraços de Peru

[luqueste]

É uma lógica simples: O Giba foi eleito e considerado o melhor jogador da história do Brasil. O Brasil é a melhor seleção da história do Vôlei. Então, o Giba é o melhor jogador da história do Voleibol.

[hugobonfa]

Ivan is a hell of a player, but Giba... Giba was on whole different level!!!

[gustavotonnelli]

Giba’s arguably the best volleyball player of all time

[janloydrebundas]

This was filmed almost 9 years ago but the video quality is great. It looks like it was taken yesterday!

[johnnywick]

O Giba era um jogador completo, líder nato, altíssimo QI de jogo, saque venenoso e uma cravada insana, o cara praticamente enterrava a bola. Lenda viva, com certeza o melhor da história.

[marcong]

Comparação absurda.
Giba 1 milhão de vezes mais jogador que Zaytsev.É ofensa essa comparação.

[line]

respeito o Zaytsev, só que o Giba é lendário o melhor jogador de vôlei masculino de todos os tempos, tudo que era campeonato que esse homem participava ganhava mvp, troféu e etc, máquina de fazer pontos

[delibeslakme]

Giba, dos veces considerado el mejor del mundo, jugador completo, en el ataque inteligente, agilisimo en la defensa, gran ubicacion en el campo.... para muchos de nosotros el mejor de todos los tiempos.

[giulibliss]

Ivan!!!! His spikes are incredibile! But Giba is a very good player and Brazil is the strongest team ever! I'm italian and I love my team but Giba is absolutely one of the best player of the world!

[WickedVolleyball]

I watched them both playing from front row! I'm so proud of that! 👍🏐❤️🏐

[andrgomarta]

The japanese audience is so fun and synchronized! Hahaahhahha 😂❤

[danielaquino]

That team of brazil was the best of the all time, they have the best libero and tha best player of history

[Vballnut]

Giba, Murilo and Ngapeth are 3 of the most overall skilled players in volleyball, Leon is the most dominant, Mikhaylov the most consistent

[thiagogalvao]

Colocaram o Giba em final de carreira mais ainda jogava muito

[raiPKyt]

The great GIBA.... !! Ivan has come a long for sure...!!

[Danielraaraa]

Ter Giba, Murilo e Serginho numa linha de passe e dois ponteiros como Murilo e Giba e Dante como reserva de luxo foi um feito que nenhuma seleção do mundo conseguiu ter, só a brasileira! Isso sem falar dos demais jogadores que foram e ainda são, como Lucão e Bruno, excepcionais!

[herbhertfreitas]

Giba foi um mágico, e o Serginho também.
Fora todos os outros que eram extramente impecáveis.
Seleção que marcou história. Eu acompanhei aquela era.
