In fact, plenty of those guys are not even at the level of good EuroLeague players.
ok man.
i suggest you switch from panathinaikos tv to league pass.
DryPaint, welcome into the official "never seen an euroleague game in your life" club. We are gaining membership by the hour
@Mirotic; there is a thing called desire and a thing called reality.
You might wish for european basketball being stronger than it is, but your desire no matter how strong, has nothing to do with reality.
I was among the first, being really enthusiastic in the 2000-2005+ period, when it seemed that european basketball is slowely but surely, by small, yet visible steps, catching up with NBA. Even if now we could argue that it was the NBA that went on a devolution path for a few years in that era. But right now, as much as you might have to nitpick Sasha Vujačič performances in Torino or 36 years old washed out Beno Udrih in Žalgiris, to proove a point that NBA players are no better than euroleague players... it just doesn't add up. Period. There is a big talent gap as far as the top100 NBA players go and it's not narrowing down either.
Surely there are players in europe that could play in NBA. However apart from Llull, maybee De Colo and some ussual overlooked US players, none of those would be a true difference maker.
