The Death Of Real Basketball - Euroleague Changing To NBA Rules

[Euroleague]

Well, that's it for those of us that still believed in real basketball, and not the "sports entertainment" of the NBA and it's ridiculous rules.

Now the malignant cancer has spread to the Euroleague.........

Euroleague has always been a shitty minor league system for the NBA, now at least you'll be able to judge talent more accurately.

My thoughts exactly. Now Hollinger won't need some complicated formula to project NBA stats.

Yeah, because minor leagues pay an average of $1 million per year salaries...

I thought that you had gone away. No one cares about the F'ing Euroleague.

Yeah, because kids grow up wanting to play in the Euroleague. It's merely a stepping stone to the NBA.

[Heavincent]

This would be significant news if anyone cared about the Euroleague.

[Euroleague]

Yeah, because kids grow up wanting to play in the Euroleague. It's merely a stepping stone to the NBA.

Most kids in Europe do want to play in Euroleague and don't give much of a damn about the NBA.

The NBA is barely even ever on TV in Europe.

Minor leagues have Anthony Parker win 2 MVPs and also have a statue built for him.

Minor leagues (NBA) make Anthony Parker a 6 year starter, years after his prime and when he is in his mid 30s and could not even draw interest from Euroleague teams.

What's the difference anyways? No more goaltending? :biggums:

[DFish]

And yet the shitty little podunk Euroleague is trying to do anything it can think of to emulate the success of the NBA, including changing their rules.

This is an American sport. We created basketball. You don't get to rule on what constitutes "real" rules, sorry.

[jamal99]

Well, most kids dream about playing in the NBA because of Jordan and such. But top EL team means load of money, easier schedule, you're closer to home (if you're European), etc...

[fsvr54]

Dis nikka really thinks Euroleague is better than the NBA :roll: :roll:

Oh come the feck on. Nobody dreams about playing in the Euroleague, nobody. I'm from Europe and nobody dreams about playing in the Euroleague unless they are diehard fans of their team and not then would stop dreaming about the NBA. Majority of Europe don't even have an idea what the Euroleague is.. Just a few countries.

I've heard some stupid shit, but thats the worst thing I've ever heard from you and your anti NBA BS.

[Sakkreth]

Defensive 3 seconds...
Timeout calls in the middle of posession...

RETARDED.

If you are from Lithuania you dont hear any kid "I want to play for chicago bulls"
Every kid says "I want to play for Zalgiris" and that's how it is.

Can't tell what's the situation in other eu countries.

Are they really going to put defensive 3 seconds in?

Can't find anything about it :confusedshrug:

You are a damn liar.

All the basketball hotbed places the kids want to play for PAO, Olympiacos, Red Star, Partizan, Zalgiris, Rytas, etc.

Stop being such a damn USA, USA, USA chanting idiot.

[Euroleague]

Can't find anything about it :confusedshrug:

They are changing to NBA court, NBA jump ball rules, NBA way of refs calling games and interpreting fouls (vomit), changing to make everything designed to help the offense and the scorers like the NBA (gag), and changing to the NBA travel rules (which is a freaking damn disgrace).

After that, the other rules that need to be changed will be decided upon by the actual executive committee.

[Droid101]

The end of goaltending being legal in Europe!

[CLTHornets4eva]

Come on nobody cares about basketball in every legit country in Europe.

[Euroleague]

No genius, the NBA is changing their rule on that to match the Euroleague.

Of course you would not get your facts right.

[Euroleague]

Hello again, from douche bag America.

[fpliii]

is this for just Euroleague, or will all other competitions (FIBA Zonal tournaments, individual national leagues) all be changing?

Yea, and American kids dream of MLS soccer careers over Premier League.

Euroleague must really suck if you can't find your own forum about it :lol. and the Parker GOAT thing as well

:lol :oldlol: :roll: :facepalm :rolleyes: :no:

Just Euroleague. FIBA has no say in the Euroleague's rules. Although most of the European national leagues will probably follow what the Euroleague does. But each national league has its own idea of how to ref the games.

[Rooster]

good news at least now they can be a farm system like a minor league. now they cant hide guys who cant guard a lick like spanoulis and navarro.

[BrickingStar]

From France and I'd be on suicide watch if I was stuck with Euroleague basketball.

[Euroleague]

good news at least now they can be a farm system like a minor league. now they cant hide guys who cant guard a lick like spanoulis and navarro.

Right, because Spanoulis is better on defense than almost every point guard in the NBA.

So that sure makes sense............

[kentatm]

:lol :oldlol: :roll: :facepalm :rolleyes: :no:

Pretty much

Truth hurts I know.

[Euroleague]

The fact that French teams are almost every year the worst teams in Euroleague might have something to do with that. The French League sucks.

Insofar as basketball is followed in Europe, and there are different sports over here with "soccer" (football) being the largest, NBA is clearly recognised as the the big league.

In Britain (admittedly an English speaking state) people don't care about the national leagues or the Euroleague they care about the NBA, and Slam is available in reasonable sized newsagents.

[Euroleague]

So Euroleague is the 30th best basketball league in the world?

:facepalm :facepalm :facepalm

Who cares. They could disband tomorrow and i would not care.

In Britain people don't even know what a basketball looks like. You are an idiot.

News flash mate, the opinions of Brits does not equal Europe's opinion.

You are obviously smoking crack.

Where do you rank it?

[Rooster]

Right, because Spanoulis is better on defense than almost every point guard in the NBA.

Yeah that is the reason Spanoulis can not get playing time over fringe defenders like Skip and Luther Head.

Naismith was Canadian, you tool.

And FIBA existed before the NBA was even created, dumb ass.

He invented the game while teaching in America and eventually got American citizenship

[eliteballer]

Among the proposals were several intended to give players more freedom of movement, such as widening the court itself

heaven forbid they play on a mans ourt........

[Euroleague]

He invented the game while teaching in America and eventually got American citizenship

And he was Canadian. So "we (Americans) invented the game" is a lie.

Just like he lied when he claimed that NBA rules existed before FIBA did.

[Euroleague]

heaven forbid they play on a mans ourt........

Yeah, they have to make it easy to score, just like the NBA. Heaven forbid that guys with no skills actually get exposed.

[stallionaire]

Great move for the Euroleague. Now as those players develop, it'll be easier to see how their game will be when they eventually get promoted to where they all really wanna be: the NBA.
