Mike Fratello: "It's a more physical game over here. NBA rules helped change the game that brought scoring up. This is a man's game over here."
Mike Fratello: "I'm very anxious to see the reaction from the NBA players that come over here. They'll be awakened to the style of bball."

If he was so good why did he sign to play in the second division level of Europe and not the top level division?

So, when will I see Sofoklis dominate, since he is 10x the player Kaman (who is doing damn good right now with Germany) and Camby can ever dream of being.
So funny, how you will try to ignore that.

Re: Mike Fratello: European Basketball Is More Physical Than The NBA
NBA style of play was always geared towards iso's and fast court opportunities, therefore highlighting individual abilities of players. Euro tough grind-it-out half-court game is not to everyone's taste, but it's the classical style of basketball which is getting more and more forgotten. Players can pack the paint for as long as they want defensively and we can withness true zones as well (not pseudo half-zones of NBA)

Re: Mike Fratello: European Basketball Is More Physical Than The NBA
its common sense, the European game is played below the rim, less airspace, therefore more contact.
Good job captain obvious!
In other news, American basketball players cut from NBA teams still win player of the week, month and year honors in top Euro leagues.
Maybe they were also too physical for the NBA?

Shutting down your thread with knowledge and intelligence
Re: Mike Fratello: European Basketball Is More Physical Than The NBA
Can't we just agree that Euroball is more physical with less physically-imposing players, with the opposite being true for the NBA.

not really...Top european teams on average have taller players than NBA ones and those dudes are actually allowed to display toughness defensively instead of a pansy league that NBA is nowadays. NBA players are faster and more athletic though
