Euro hate

What is the reason that a big majority of posters here irrationally hate on European based players ?

Whenever Dirk is mentioned, he is soft and a choker. Gasol is soft and not a leader. Calderon and Turkoglu are overrated. Manu and Varejao are floppers (I know they are Sputh Americans, but they played in Europe at a very young age). Okur is soft and a chucker. AK-47 is a crybaby.

And then there are the stereotypes about Argentineans for example who are nation of floppers.

What's so funny though, is the fact that these above mentioned players are core players on teams that are fairly successful.

Still the hate and ridicule totally outweighs the praise and respect they get here.

You might think they are Kwame Brown type of players with the amount of hate they get.

Nor do I, if another mod wants to reopen this, fine, but I'm locking it as we just had a similar thread recently, and it was a bit hostile.

PM me if you have an issue with this.
