Ahahaha!

Posting in a Euroleague thread.

There's a reason why scrubs in the NBA go to the Euroleague and win the MVP. It's the same reason why most Euroleague hot shots ride the pine in the NBA.

Euroleague ... :facepalm

Some guys just excel in different situations. Rubio for instance was better suited to the NBA game. There's no doubt the NBA has the higher concentrated level of talent, but other leagues have talent as well.

Rubio won like 3 Euroleague titles in a row at Barcelona. He played within the team concept.

But the fear prior to his arrival in the NBA was that he hit his ceiling as a player. In order to fully develop, he had to be in a league that was better suited to his game.

[QUOTE=Euroleague]I don't think the Greek team that was at the qualification tournament would have beaten the US. But if Greece qualified they were going to add in Schortsanitis and Koufos to the team.

That team probably would have beaten the US.

The best Greek team, with Diamantidis or Perperoglou added in, [B]surely would beat them[/B].[/QUOTE]

i get that u r mad and all, i aggree with a lot u say in general, esp. when it comes to us-ignorance towards anything not american...

but with statements like that u just embarrass yourself and im sure u dont believe that either; also nobody who aggrees with u will bother to defend your arguments

Nobody is (seriously) saying that the Euroleague doesn't have talent. But the NBA >>>>>>>>>>> Euroleague and it's not even close.

Did you intentionally forget the 1st game when MJ and Pippen took turns making Kukoc their bitch?

[QUOTE=Euroleague]Kukoc's nicknames in Europe were The Pink Panther and The Waiter.

Spanoulis' nicknames in Europe are Kill Bill and [B]Most Vassilis Player[/B] (MVP).

What you posted is made up bullshit by lying NBA only fans. No one in Europe ever called them that. Mother****ers like you just made that shit up and lied about it.[/QUOTE]

More like [B]"Most Vaseline Player"[/B] since he lost the ball too much..:roll: :roll:

Too much lubricant in your hands man..

Nop. Only one.

[QUOTE=plowking]No he hasn't. Hes not brought up enough to be called that.

The only thread I do remember of him on here consisted of everyone talking about how great his 'euro step' move was.[/QUOTE]

I can remember several threads here where he was called a "Euro scrub", just the same way that the same people here call Navarro, Jasikevicius, and Spanoulis "Euro scrubs".

STOP LYING.

[QUOTE=RoundMoundOfReb]I think his list was:

Lebron
KD
Vspan
Kobe
JC navarro[/QUOTE]

[quote=TheBigVeto]Andrew Gaze is a great player.
Shane Heal, not so much.[/quote]

Shane Heal and Andrew Gaze were both great players.

[quote=Euroleague]Mills isn't even really better than Heal IMO.[/quote]

Heal is significantly better than Patty Mills.
