You didn't explicitly say it, you implied it by questioning the athleticism of the NBA and comparing it unfavorably with the Euroleague. I bolded all the instances for you: The implication of the post is that the NBA is actually not athletically superior to the Euroleague, but rather inferior and needs all of these handicaps to make their players look good. Check the numbers that the NBA players are putting up in Europe. Then check the numbers V-SPAN put up in America. There is no contest. V-SPAN might thrive under the specific conditions found in Euroleague, but he certainly is not a great player if the best he could do in the NBA was shooting .319 from the field, .172 from downtown and averaging less than three points and one assist per game. Show me any NBA finals MVP that did that poorly in Europe over 30+ games during his prime and I will certainly admit that the Euroleague is the better league. Hell, show me an All-NBA third teamer.
Even 1 on 3? :grin: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/SX5aKbaAMU8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> You have never played at a high level, where even the worst players are good, and can get hot and dominate games. More importantly, sometimes you just struggle...
No, I said I didn't agree with an idea that I attributed to you based on the implication of your post. If that wasn't the point you were trying to get across with that post, then I suggest you sharpen your rhetoric. Four rolleyes for you:
It's a very low level of competition by European standards. Lower than D-League by European standards.
Though by American standards, the Euroleague/Farming cooperative is actually lower than the D-League.
