Mirotic12 licking his lips and already readying his 12 paragraph essay on how Vasilije Micić would dunk on Lebron's ass, with excerpts from Shane Larkin and Jimmer Fredette on how badass the FIBA rules are.

FIBA rules won't save a team over an 82 games season, that can work for a single elimination type tournament, but a whole long season, everyone adjusts quickly and it is about talent.

Every Euroleague team would destroy the best NCAA team by 30+. You dont have a clue what you are talking about.

NBA teams have a record of 20-8 against Euroleague teams since 2010, and thats playing with NBA rules. Sure they were pre season games for the NBA, but the best euroleague team absolutely wouldn't go winless over the course of 82 games, cmon

wow, that's one of the most delusional garbage i read in a long time.

i agree, that the best euroleague team would probably not fare well in the nba, but saying that they are slightly better than the best ncaa team is utter nonsense. the best ncaa team would go winless in a euroleague season. the would probably go winless in any top tier national league in europe.

Problem is the best non-nba teams have no star-power when they would play in the NBA. The best players would be role players in the NBA. Even a very strong and motivated European team, I don't see them winning more than 30 games (probably closer to 20 than 30).

If you were to eliminate goal tending, then they would probably beat the Lakers, because the Lakers just went 0-6 in preseson, and then we could call them the best team in the World!!!!
