the first sentence in the bolded part is true. you are yet to see rubio.


I've seen Rubio, he's got a LONG way to go before he is "easily the best PG in the league."

I know how much Euros get overrated, even though I think Rubio will be a terrific point guard, it's insulting to say he will be easily th best PG in the league, when we just had a guy with a historically good season, and another guy nipping at his heels, and both are in their early twenties.

LOL.

You know what you are ? A biased, generally angry homer. Why would anyone take you serious, my friend ?

I saw this thread in the OT Board, where you basically had to vent your anger that was created by my posts in this thread.

The thing is, he edited his post, fairly quickly. So no, you can't do it just because you feel like it.

And you have no bias whatsoever towards the euroleague?

Another thing, you said Rubio can easily become the best PG in the league in 3-4 years. Easily? When there are a couple of young 20 year olds who just had some ridiculously good seasons?

You mentioned Calderon as well. Deron is easily a far better player than Calderon.

And you didn't reply to this post.

And what about Toronto? They have the former 2 time Euroleague MVP. He's an average starter in the NBA at best. What about Milt Palacio, who was a backup point guard now being the MVP or something in the Euroleague. What do you account that to?

Not that I have to explain myself to you, but I did write "GTFO with the european bias", and I found it uncalled for, so I edited myself quickly.

I could be a little biased, but considering what European players do in the NBA, and what NBA scrubs do in the Euroleague, I think I have some basis.

Though, you are the same guy that makes a point in a lot of threads to say "glad I don't live in America!!" If your basketball is better, and you don't like anything we do, why do you watch NBA ball at all? Why do these guys even want to play in the NBA then?

USA does bad in the Olympics because of poor chemistry not because of lack of talent. I can guarantee that if we took our 15 best mix and had them play together as often as the euro teams do, we would rarely lose. The talent here in America is superior.

Guys like Trajan Langdon couldn't hack it in the NBA and then they go to europe and dominate.
