Re: EuroLeague Plans Anthony Parker Statue
[QUOTE=Euroleague]So why the hell have Krstic, Law, Kirilenko, Vaujacic, Weems. etc. all of the NBA players STILL playing their not won the award every week and every month?
Explain that one genius.[/QUOTE]
The same reason Tiger Woods doesn't win every golf tournament?
What a stupid argument to make.
1. Most of the NBA players returned to the NBA early in the season as the lockout ended.
2. Only [U]ONE[/U] other person has won more than one weekly MVP (Mirotic with two), whilst Kristic and Kirilenko have won 3 EACH. Kristic could barely get game time in the NBA.
Face it: NBA >>>> Euroleague. NBA scrubs are tearing up the league.
The Euroleague itself realizes that the NBA is superior, why can't you?

[B]*Due to the lack of shooters in Europe, the Official Euroleague 3 point line must be closer to the basket than Both NBA [I]and[/I] NCAA 3 point lines. It is thus, identical in dimension to the [I]WNBA[/I] 3 point line. [/B]
[B]*Due to the lack of athletes in Europe, the Official Euroleague rim-height has to be 9 feet, instead of the 10 foot rims of the NBA, NCAA, WNBA, and High-School gyms of America.[/B]

Re: EuroLeague Plans Anthony Parker Statue
[QUOTE=CLTHornets4eva]This is not true.[/QUOTE]
None of what he posted is true. In fact, the Euroleague ball is actually larger and heavier than the NBA ball. Which is why NBA players went literally nuts and threatened Stern that one season when he switched the NBA to it.
NBA players went ape shit, over having to play with the bigger and heavier ball that Euroleague uses.

They are the same as the Americans. NBA only fans. They have never even seen a Euroleague game. I have actually talked to Filipinos that believe the best players in Euroleague could not even make an average NCAA team. They are just as delusional as the American NBA only fans.
It's funny though, because Yao Ming is Asian, and he said the Euroleague is equal level to the NBA. But the NBA only fans from Asia, that have never even seen a Euroleague game, know better..........:rolleyes:

He has [B][U]NOT[/U][/B] averaged over 10 ppg in 5 years - yet he goes to Euroleague and has found new life (wonder why that could be?). This was with Bostons center issues (Shaq going down) and playing alongside 3 future HoF's (maybe 4). If he can't thrive in this situation, where can he thrive?
And you are right. Kristic and Kirilenko didn't win 3 weekly MVPs each - they won 2 each [B]AND[/B] a monthly MVP each. What is better? 2 weekly + 1 monthly or 3 weekly MVPs?
You just try to skew everything to make it suit you.

Oh, this shit again?
Nenad averaged 16/7 (as you say) in 2007. Five years ago. Back in his prime. Now he's an old, injured, decrepit nothing.
Nenad as a 23 year old spring Chicken, NBA: 16.4 ppg, 6.8 rpg on 53% shooting, 0% from three, in [B]33 minutes[/B][B] per game[/B].
Nenad as a 28 year old, often injured scrub in the NBA, four years later: 9.1 ppg, 5.3 rpg, shooting 54%, in [B]23 minutes per game[/B].
Then, months later in the Euroleague: 14.7 ppg, 6.3 rpg, [SIZE="3"][B]shooting 61.8% field goals!!!![/B][/SIZE], in [B]23 minutes per game[/B].
I guess that "Great Euroleague Defense" is just a myth after all.
