He actually made all-rookie 2nd team his one year in the NBA. He probably would be a good player regardless of where he played.

LOL even Nick Young seems to have gained respect for him after this tournament. I don't think anyone is going to talk shit about him. Euroleague might, if only to prop up Spanoulis. :roll:

[TROLL_HUNTER]

A truly great player with an amazing shot. Had he been stronger and with more athleticism he could have made a great career in the nba. Even with his current skillset he would stand out anyway.

Being Gasol the best all-time spanish player Navarro can be called without a doubt the most clutch and the kind of guy that takes responsibility in making the last shot or stepping up when needed. This MVP award is more than well deserved

[Euroleague]

Navarro is better than 95%+ of all NBA players. Anyone saying otherwise is a complete idiot.

Navarro and Spanoulis are two Euroleague players that could make Team USA A team with no trouble at all. But this forum just bashes on them and says they can't even play in the NBA.

Just ignore the NBA only fan idiots. They know absolutely nothing about basketball.

Navarro is one of my all time favorite players. Except he is a big time arrogant punk with his flopping, his antics, etc.

But I have always loved his game.

As for Spanoulis, he is along with Navarro the two best players in Europe. They would both be great NBA players. Navarrto just had a bad situation in Memphis and Spanoulis just got screwed by his coach after he got into a fight with him.

Navarro is one of the best SGs in the world along with Kobe, Manu, Wade.......Spanoulis is probably the best PG in the world.

[Euroleague]

D'Antoni, McMillan, and Coach K all told Doug Collins that Spanoulis is one of the top 5 best players in the world.

This comes from Collins himself.

You can decide who the other 4 players are in their minds.

What you are saying is real bullshit. Navarro quit cos he was misused by an incompetent coach who used him as 3-pointer and thats about it. Memphis had enough ballhogs for Navarro not even to smell the ball. Besides, hes not a fresh man from college but a mature elite player who had a perfect life in Barcelona. If you cannot see that you have serious understanding issues

It's true that he is the D-Whistle of Euroleague.

What is also true is that Navarro is 10 times a better player than NBA MVP Derrick Rose will ever be.

Tony Parker is considered possibly a top 30 European player of all time. MAYBE. Navarro is considered probably in top 3 all time shooting guards in European basketball history.

Dimitris Diamantidis: "I should not be expected to play for the national team after the age of 30. I am disappointed that they even asked me again, after I announced my retirement. After everything I have given to this national team, I should not be expected to continue. After all, my responsibility to Panathinaikos is my main concern."

[G-train]

Good tournamment by Pau Gasol also.

I believe he will All NBA first team next season and top 3 in MVP votes.

Tony Parker at 19 got more burn than Navarro, a proven European Superstar at the time.... The NBA, where the best basketball players in the world play(btw, at least Gasol and his brother had the cojones to stay in America, bwahahahah) is where its at... Navarro would be rendered Mike Conley's sidekick trying to make a comeback....:oldlol:

[G-train]

Posters really need to understand the difference between euro leagues and the NBA.

Navarro would be 'the bomb' on a team that plays like Phoenix or GSW. He wouldn't be that good in Portland, it's all about where and how you fit in.

[Go Getter]

:facepalm @people acting like prime NBA stars wouldn't dominate euroleagues.

I guess the WC didn't convince some but after we kill the field at the Olympics I guess we'll see.

*In actuality we won't because NBA players are in a lose/lose situation overseas.

-If we win FIBA was cheating and we should have by more because America's population is so dense.
-If we lose the games were fair and we are nothing but some athletic individuals with no skill.

*Mind you, who led the WC in assists and steals (iirc) and played the best D overall?

Clearly top 3 players in Europe. Would love to see him back in the NBA (Lakers, anyone?) and have fun this time around.

[KGMN]

:facepalm
Well by "carried", I meant "led". He was definitely the best player on their team.

EDIT: While Pau Gasol obviously played really well, I don't feel like he played nearly as well as JCN. You may feel differently, but from watching every game, I felt like Navarro was clearly better.

It's a box score for Zalgiris Kaunas, the team Ty Lawson and Sonny Weems signed with. Guess who was the leading scorer for Zalgiris? That's right, NBA player Ty Lawson with 21 points on a whopping 70% SHOOTING :eek: :eek:

Who was the leading scorer overall in the game? None other than former USC standout and 15th ranked high school player in the class of 2006, AMERICAN Davon Jefferson with 25 points on 52.4% shooting. Jefferson was a US reject who wasn't even drafted. I watched Jefferson in person at the Drew League this summer. The guy was a scrub, and that was summer league. Just like I said before, Drew League>>>>>Euroleague. NBDL>>>>Euroleague.

:roll: at Vassilis Spanoulis being one of the top players in the world. The guy is Euro trash that sucked big time when he got his chance in the BEST LEAGUE IN THE WORLD, the NBA. Juan Carlos Navarro is actually pretty decent and had a solid rookie year for Memphis. But let's be real here, Navarro is AT BEST, a solid 6th man in the NBA, possibly a starter at PG on some teams. FAR from being better than "95% of NBA players" :roll:

[Maga_1]

So by your logic Dawon Jefferson > Ty Lawson and Drew League > NBA , awesome !

[Euroleague]

Spanoulis isn't half the player Navarro is, and he never was...

Almost all the coaches in Europe say Spanoulis is the best player in Euroleague. But you know better right................

[Euroleague]

great player for spain but cant wait to see paul/wade/lebron shut him down. :)

Like they failed to do in 2008..........

[Euroleague]

Well that's exactly what I meant, except for Jasikevicius I do believe that his playing style wasn't ok not only for GS but for all the NBA. Too much IQ and too little athleticism, basically. :D

Saras did fine with the Pacers. It wasn't until he went to the Warriors that he didn't get to play.

1 American played really well at the World Championship, and even he was outplayed in that tournament by Luis Scola, who "dominated" more.

Scola - 14/5 in Euroleague and 18/8 in NBA.
