Tony Parker's Team In 13th Place In The French League

[Euroleague]

The top French League (LNB Pro A) is probably somewhere around the 10th best pro basketball league in Europe.

So far, Tony Parker's team, ASVEL Basket (Lyon-Villeurbanne), is in 13th place in the French League:

Yet another example of, "NBA players dominating Euro scrubs". As well as yet another example of, "Americans owning the leagues over there."

Are you denying that Parker's team is in 13th place in the French League?

That is some serious domination there, leading his team to 13th place in a crappy European domestic league.

I just think you take everything too seriously. We don't need threads like this or the ones Bruinlove makes.

I have seen like 100 posts in this forum claiming Tony Parker is "the best point guard in Europe right now."

Strange how the "best point guard in Europe right now" can only manage 13th place in a crappy French League.

Even though he has 3 other NBA players on his team, a top level French League player on his team, and a guy that was just last year a star in the NCAA on his team.

Even though his team has by far the biggest budget of any team in the French League - 13th place.

So, are you not interested at all in truth being on the forum? Seriously......can you honestly tell me that you think that Tony Parker is "the best point guard in Europe right now", when he can only manage 13th place in French League, even on a club with a 13 million euros budget?

So what?For all i care ASVEL could lose all their games and it still wouldnt hurt Parkers status as a top 5 european player.Did you happen to watch latest eurobasket where he was a beast?Parker has nothin to prove.

So.....in other words, being "the best point guard in Europe right now", means just leading a team to 13th place in POS French League..........right.

If ANY non NBA player was on that team, YOU would declare him an enormous scrub.

You make this thread, someone makes another dumb thread.
It gets boring.

How about the forum be based on FACT and REALITY? How is that for a novel concept? Please show me one single thing that I posted that is not true in this thread.

Unlike the trolls, I am NOT making up stuff like, "Nicolas Batum GOAT in history of Europe" or whatever other BS is posted here daily.

I posted FACTS. Tony Parker's team is in 13th place in French League.

I am posting facts.

Something that for example, Grinder is basically incapable of. Where are you complaining to Grinder when he claimed here in this forum that "Besiktas is now on an 11 game winning streak"?


http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/sho...=238852&page=4

Grinder:

Besiktas is now on an 11 game winning streak.

That's an outright lie and trolling, like almost every post he makes. I never once have seen you complain about his posts. But if I post reality, the actual REAL French League standings (with links) you feel the need to bash my post?

Strange double standard there.

Or is it considered taboo and off limits and out of bounds to mention that NBA star Parker's team is in 13th place in French League? Are we only allowed to have threads here like, "Jordan Farmar is the Chris Paul of Euroleague"?

Consider yourself owned.

You can dominate and still be on a crappy team.

What is so hard to comprehend?

Adrian Peterson is considered the best RB in American Football and he's a dominator yet he plays on a crappy team.
