Why is Doncic averaging better stats in the NBA than in Euroleague?

[90sgoat]

I'm forced to conclude the NBA is simple not as good.

and theyre correct


the best players are in the nba but its basically a harlem globetrotter league

The NBA is more interested in being profitable via casual fan engagement levels than they are the integrity of the product.

You have to be damn near perfect to play actual perimeter defense nowadays.

I will say though... during the playoffs, they let the players get away with more on defense, which I enjoy a lot... and it's also one of the reasons guys like Harden go from looking like MVP level players to just regular star players.

Defensive 3-second violations.
Less clogged paint defense.
This allows Luka slashing/floater game to be more effective.
He has said this in interviews.

Hilarious how none of the posters above mentioned Euroleague games are only 40 minutes long.

Yea...he played 19 and 25 minutes a game in europe. THe per minute numbers arent as different. And looking at them a moment ago...

I did not notice Luka was so much better at the Ft line in europe. He shoots 71% from the FT line here. Thats odd....
