Weren't these guys nothing more than role players in the NBA?

They are just system players... They have roles on their specific team, and they are playing them.

Childress cant create his own shot. Right there is the reason he is just a normal player out there.

Just to throw some gas on the fire, I would take the NBA champion over any team in Europe 10 times out of 10. Hence why it is the world championship, nobody will beat them.

Just to throw more gas on the fire,

Carry on.

Sure you aren't arguing with yourself here?

I agree.

I've never seen anyone calling Childress and Pargo Euroleague Stars.

The only time I heard that come up is when people were discussing the hypothetical situations in which Kobe, Lebron, etc would go over to Europe and how they would dominate. Which is true.

Once we, NBA fans, got over the initial shock that American players who were good enough to be signed by an NBA team chose not to, instead going to Europe, we pretty much forgot about them and got on with our NBA lives...No one was going around saying they are going to tear up the Euroleague.

I have looked back over numerous threads on real gm this summer, especially ones related to the Olympics, Team USA, and NBA players signing in Europe and many, many, MANY members here said Childress would be Jordan or LeBron in Europe, he would be the league MVP, average 30 points a game, etc. As Jeff Van Gundy put it, there is a lot of revisionist basketball history that goes on with fans these days.

And people saying this really believed it, they would just state that the Euroleague is so far below the NBA, that automatically Childress would be the Jordan or LeBron of the continent.

In 2010 FIBA will have the Eurasian champions (Euroleague champions) and the North American champions (NBA champions) competing in the World Club Championship. If the NBA team wins then they can claim that they are world champion. Until then they are the North American champions and nothing more.

If there isn't, there should be!

Wait, so you think there is a euroleague team that can beat the lakers?

I'm all for broadening our horizons and all but that's just laughable..

In 1 game? Sure, why not.

If the cavs or lakers played the best Euro team in a best of 19 series, the lakers or cavs would sweep.

Post #36 » by **og15** » Thu Apr 30, 2009 7:52 pm

Cavs and Lakers probably don't even sweep OKC in a best of 19.

^Which I see as a compliment of the Thunder, meaning I would take the Thunder over the Euroleague champ.

Also, I would love to see the Lakers or Cavs play the Euroleague champ. They will absolutly dominate them and completly end all of this nonsense.

Well if it happens then they can claim to be "world champion" until then they and NBA fans cannot. That is cannot claim it and be stating anything that is true.

Pargo and Childress were just eliminated from the Euroleague playoffs. Those huge contracts really paid off for Olympiacos. :roll:

++1 Word up

I think i'll watch Barcelona vs CSKA Moscow on NBA TV before the Atlanta vs Miami Game 6. I'll need a good nap before the intensity that is NBA playoff basketball.
