How would the worst NBA team fare in the euroleague?

[Mr. Jabbar]

let's say milwaukee...instant champions?

[Mr Exlax]

First thing you've ever posted that I agree with.

[CelticBaller]

Utah jazz= dynasty

[TheCalmInsanity]

It's funny... As useless as the poster "Euroleague" is, he actually brings fans of any team together. Fans of teams that hate each other would still join forces to battle the lies that EL spews... Thank you Euroleague for bringing us together and making us united :') what a heartwarming moment for all of mankind

[iTare]

Not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4.......

[tomtucker]

they would not be allowed to play one game..........their jerseys would be retired before the plane even landed

NBA scrubs becoming LEGENDS over there.

[Black and White]

Please can my Celtics go and play over there for 1 season, they will look like the Miami Heat,

Euroleague would shut his mouth after Rondo kills his boy V-Span

[CeltsGarlic]

probably top 16, but they would get killed and disrupted by physical d, real zone and great teamwork.

not opinion but fact tho

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Dominant. 60s celtics type of dominance. No doubt in my mind.

[Uncle Drew]

Larry Sanders would average Wilt numbers, but with the Championships.

[fandarko]

This is realistic.

As someone who has watched the NBA and the Euroleague from the 80's, I concur.

This is a different brand of basketball, completely different game than the NBA, in which game NBA players would be less effective.

Discounting the superstars, of course.

The Spurs would win it all, but it's far from a given. OKC, Pacers, Portland, Heat would be favourites. Again, nothing is guaranteed.

The rest?

The top 20 teams would be lock for Top 16, as for the others, no chance in hell.

[CavaliersFTW]

44 and 10 is the record of NBA teams versus EL teams.

[fandarko]

So what?

These were preseason games, a completely different dynamic.

Some games were played under Euroleague rules, some under NBA rules.

Not all European teams were Euroleague teams.

Folks in the US confuse the Euroleague with other European leagues.

Euroleague is cream of the crop, meaning for example that Deron Williams Turkish team two years ago was crap and would have been beaten by top Euroleague teams by 20-30.

Don't get me wrong, NBA teams would still dominate over European teams, but the margin isn't as wide as you people think it is, it's a misconception.

The Top 16 of the Euroleague is much more competitive than the vast majority of European teams and the Top 8 could probably content for the playoffs in the NBA.

The key thing are the different rules. Under NBA rules, Euroleague teams would fare much worse.

[Chicago Ted]

Real Madrid would be in PO spot in the east this year.
The worst NBA team would be top 16 and thats it.
NBA is the better league, obviously, it has the money and the best players from the whole world.
I know this topics are meant to taunt Euroleague but they make you look like fools.

[East_Stone_Ya]

Larry Sanders would average Wilt numbers, but with the Championships.

Depends what you mean by "top" Euroleague team as D-Will's Turkish team two years ago actually beat a top 16 Euroleague team.

Lol @ European posters acting like it wouldn't be complete domination.

Bucks would have a realistic shot at a lossless season.

A role player from the Greek 2nd Division starts for them.

A role player from the Greek Under 20 team that could not even pass his tryout for the Greek national team......not the tryout for making the team...........the tryout just to be on the PRACTICE SQUAD to train with the team..............is a STARTER.

They would have a realistic shot at winning 2 games MAYBE in the first stage.

Even Brose is a better team than the Bucks are.

Nobody plays in Europe by choice.

[Euroleague]

I could see them as 2-8 or maybe 3-7 in a weak group, or maybe 4-6 in a really weak group, like Partizan is a weak team and they went 4-6 because they were in a horrible group.

Partizan is a terrible team and they managed 4-6 due to being in a terrible group. So if the Bucks got really lucky and got in a horrible group they might manage 4-6 and maybe could barely (with luck on their side) maybe also sneak into the top 16.

In a good group..........2-8.

If they made the top 16..............let's say they got in a tough group, like right now there is the one tough top 16 group in Euroleague., put them in that group and sub out one of the weaker teams from that group..........

I see 2-12 as their record, IF they play well.



To suggest the Bucks would go undefeated in Euroleague, and to mock anyone saying otherwise, should get you a 3 day ban.

Some actually do. They'd rather be big in Europe than irrelevant in the US.

Antetokounmpo wanted to be a big fish in the USA, rather than a nobody in Greece.

Antekounmpo already has a better NBA career than that scrub Spanoulis. Maybe when he plays on the Greece team the nightmare of Spanoulis led Greek teams that finish 11th, 12th and get embarrassed by Nigeria and Finland will end.

I'm generally impressed by you anymore. You've reached a point where no man should continue to acct this ignorant. But you do it very well and are so diligent. :applause:

If Naperville's own, Anthony Parker is the Euroleague GOAT. The dead weight starting SG that LeBron had to carry to the playoffs for multiple seasons ... I'd shutter to see what even the worst NBA team would do in an un-athletic, moderately skilled league like Euroleague. Hell, I'm sure some of the heavy weight college programs once adapted to playing professionals would slaughter the comp over there.

If you gathered up a team of Euroleague all stars and had them play Miami, who would win and by what margin?

The Cavs will do pretty decent in the Euroleage. :D

I think Miami would win almost all matches. But we are talking about the worst NBA teams not the better (or top 3) one.

[Clutch]

I don't think the worst NBA team would win a championship in Euroleague.

European teams are better coached,they actually move the ball and don't play 1-on-1 too much. What makes NBA better is the talent and physical tools.
But if you're the worst team in the NBA there's clearly not enough talent on your team so you would be equally talented as better Euroleague teams but not playing as nearly as smart basketball.

I think the better Euroleague teams would make the playoffs in the East. Maybe they don't have as much talent as better NBA teams but they play smart and they play hard every night and that would be enough to make the playoffs in the East.

Everyone who makes fun of you is the same person.

Come on now.

This is the league where Derrick Brown was MVP of the whole league for the month of November.
Derrick Brown. Remember Derrick Brown from the Bobcats? Neither do I. He averaged 5.2 ppg playing on the worst team in the NBA.
He comes to Euroleague and is selected the MVP of the league for the month of November and has led his team to a winning record and the Top 16 in Euroleague.

That is how weak Euroleague is.

IMHO The worst NBA team would be a lock to make the Top 16, be a favorite to make the quarter-finals, have a 50/50 chance to make the Final Four and maybe a 15-20% of being champions.
