lol ak47 = #1 right now... well 2012 but what ever. No Dirk?, this is pretty embarassing as a total representative of a continent you claim has a league better than ours... also aside from vassillis all are in the NBA, euroleague blows still.

[Segatti]

Who is this scrub ahead of Tony Parker?

[Sakkreth]

Joke list, no nowitzki, wtf is gortat doing there, dragic is questionable aswell.

[Kblaze8855]

Why cant you ever just call an article what it says it is? That and often editing quotes into something dramatic are part of the reason your topics go so far away from the subject matter.

"Official list of the worlds 10 best european basketball players"?

If thats what it is that is what THEY would call it. Its FIBA europe player of the year voting. Anyone reading it can see that. Why call it anything else?

[madmax]

Who is this scrub ahead of Tony Parker?

:lol
Only the best guard in Europe probably...Euroleague = NBA when it comes to the level of play anyway, it's just NBA is a different type of competition, while european game is very physical and defensively orientated

[USABall]

Experts voting Vassilis Spanoulis (305 votes) over Tony Parker (237) and Marc Gasol (124)? Is this really happening? What Parker has accomplished this year is miles ahead of Vassilis.

[Euroleague]

Experts voting Vassilis Spanoulis (305 votes) over Tony Parker (237) and Marc Gasol (124)? Is this really happening? What Parker has accomplished this year is miles ahead of Vassilis.

Most people in Europe think Spanoulis is better than those players. It's just NBA only fans that think that vote to be odd.

For example, Spanoulis has been voted ahead of Tony Parker 3 different times (2006, 2009, 2012) in this same award voting.

So there's nothing strange about that result.

[bdreason]

The fact that Spanoulis plays in a league that doesn't have a single player ranked in the top 10 only proves his ranking is far too high. Big fish in a small pond.

Euroleague is every bit as good as the NBA, and it has much better defense than the NBA does.

Yet apparently 9/10 of the best European players in the World play in the NBA.

[CeltsGarlic]

Not quite a perfect list, but Spanoulis is close to Tony. I wouldnt dare to say who is better, as both are great at their leagues.

[KyrieTheFuture]

This is like voting for college basketball division III player of the year. Who cares?

Who's Vaseline Spanoulis?

[CavaliersFTW]

no nowitzki?
You idiot Spanoullis is WAY more athletic and talented than Nowitzki :mad:

:roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

So this dude was a scrub in the NBA from what I gather, correct? Is he even considered on the same tier as the euroleague GOAT Anthony Parker?

No wonder nobody respects the bum ass euroleague if this guy is your top player :roll:

He's most certainly not the best guard in Europe... and not half the player Parker is.

The list is a joke, as usual. No need to try to defend it.

[gabepizza]

Spanoulis ranked higher than Parker and Marc Gasol. ROTFLMAO!

Still if we are to take this list seriously than 9 out of the top 10 European players are in the NBA. Of course it goes without saying that 10 out of the top 10 American players are in the NBA. Therefore 19 out of the top 20 players in the world are in the NBA.

This list is from 2012, that is why Kirilenko and Pau are so high and Parker is so low. They are really basing it on Kirilenko

Tallest midget contest.

How ****ing stupid do you have to be to not even be able to read a stats page correctly?

Those are NOT the points leaders you moron.

[Euroleague]

The list is a joke, as usual. No need to try to defend it.

Spanoulis is better than Parker from Parker's own words (he said Spanoulis is better than him before), and Spanoulis is the best player in Europe.

[LikeABosh]

Spanoulis is better than Parker from Parker's own words (he said Spanoulis is better than him before), and Spanoulis is the best player in Europe.
Sure he did...:rolleyes:

[Michael_Wilbon]

Nope. You're wrong. As usual.

[Euroleague]

Sure he did...:rolleyes:

Yes, he did actually.

[LikeABosh]

Yes, he did actually.
and Spanoulis told me I was better than him.

[Euroleague]

Anyway, these are the ACTUAL Euroleague scoring leaders.

http://www.euroleague.net/main/statistics?mode=Leaders&entity=Players&seasonmode=Single&seasoncode=E2012&cat=Score&agg=PerGame

[gabepizza]

Yes, he did actually.

You see. When you post &^%$ that is bs you have to give a link to prove it or else no one will believe you and it will just be bs.

I can claim that Spanoulis said that (insert name here) is better than him. If I can't prove it with a link than it means nothing.

To claim that Parker actually admitted that Spanoulis is better than him is so absurd that you might as well claim that Parker said Smush Parker is better than him.

And the thing about it is you post links to back-up your claims all the time, so when you post absurd stuff with no link it just shows without a doubt that it is bs that you just totally made up.

[Psileas]

The fact that Spanoulis plays in a league that doesn't have a single player ranked in the top 10 only proves his ranking is far too high. Big fish in a small pond.

Uh, Kirilenko was also playing in a league that doesn't have a single player ranked in the top 10.

They have played against each other since they were 17 years old. He said it back like 5 years ago once in an interview that almost every time he played against Spanoulis - Spanoulis out played him.

It's also true if you look at the box scores over all the years.

He said Spanoulis is the best point guard he's ever had to play against in his whole career.
