    All the great european talent has gone over to the NBA, and now the Euroleague has fallen a lot in quality. \Plus many trash american players, who wouldn't even make it to a roster in the good leagues 5 years before are now playing.

    So I don't see any reason to be happy about it as a European fan.

    Giannis, Embiid, KP, KAT, Simmons, Jokic. All the young unicorns outside of AD are from outside the US. Plus Doncic coming in. It used to be the case that international talent would play in Europe a few years before coming to the NBA. Not anymore. NBA teams have become better at scouting international players even in the lower leagues. The amount of money coming into the NBA has really damaged the Euroleague. Still good fun, but talent has dropped.
