    You do realize that I can bring up many more examples right?
    I was hoping you would. While I know you to be...difficult...I generally assume you arent 100% serious. So I figured you might have an interesting list of legit good players who kinda came alive over here. I had an interest in the subject. I figured id find thatl ike...Peja was a nobody who got hot in some youth tournament and caught the eye of a scout then became a star over here. Something like that.

    But instead I get Darko, and Skita, and people who have never even played in the NBA?

    Give me an interesting name or two id be surprised by. Not...some guy whos performance might get generations of good europeans mocked. Those are in cases people guys in europe DONT want their names attached to far as their NBA potential.

    Listing guys because they were drafted highly(then became among the biggest letdowns ever) is like listing Childress as a 6th man who got one of the biggest deals in European basketball history(Except Josh was apaprently all euroleague im told and not....Darko). The assumptions made about your level of play before you arrive and play are irrelevant compared to what you do. Its not an accomplishment to be overrated briefly before being seen for what you are.

    Nvm. Waste of logic. You still haven't answered why you call a non starter a starter. That's all.

    Those are all fringe NBA players, not someone who was/is considered one of the better PGs in Europe. Devin Brown hasn't played significant minutes in the NBA for quite some time, Alonzo Gee was probably the worst starter in the NBA last year, and I'm not even sure if Summers was on a roster. If Spanoulis is as good as you say he is, that would be similar to Chris Paul getting cut in Europe.

    Kirilenko has a prime and he manages to get 13/9 in Euroleague.

    The NBA leading scorer about triples his scoring output, while the Euroleague leader doubles it. Pretty big difference.
    And you just made up whatever nonsense you felt like making up.

    You're right. None of those stats are real, nor are the number of teams in the leagues. I'm just a liar.

    So, why do you call Casspi a starter when he doesn't usually start?

    Linas Kleiza went over there and led the league in scoring.

    And he never even been the top scorer in his own team.

    They call these Alphonso Ford scrub award

    Euroleague lost another credibility.
