“I’m very happy to be here. The Euroleague is a great competition and the four best teams in Europe are playing this Final Four. It is going to be very tough to lift the trophy, but I think we did a pretty good job during the season and deserve to play here.
“I am pretty sure all four teams here could be in the NBA playoffs.”

Re: Andrei Kirilenko: All Four Euroleague Teams Could Make The NBA Playoffs
Bit of an overstatement by Kirilenko, considering CSKA's two top scorers and rebounders are Kirilenko and Nenad Kristic.
With all due respect to both players, who are great in their own respect, you can't have them as two of your key guys and compete in the NBA. Euroleague, if you have any knowledge of NBA basketball, you would know this. CSKA has some nice, NBA worthy talent, but not enough to even sniff the playoffs.
Team play isn't enough to make it in the NBA, you need a talented roster. CSKA would be great, but not in the NBA..

Not many, but we were talking about the NBA playoffs right? Kirilenko said what he said, because he compares the euroleague the NBA. He assumes these teams could make the playoffs in the NBA. Looking at that roster, they wouldnt survive in the NBA and you can hardly deny that. Kristic and Kirilenko as two of your stars. In the NBA that'll get you a nice lottery pick.

Those teams, especially CSKA are better than most NBA playoff teams.
You are basing your knowledge on those teams by "looking at rosters" of players you don't know and teams you have not watched play.
Any one one of those 4 teams are better than NBA playoff teams like the Jazz, Knicks, Mavs, Hawks, Magic, Pacers, Bulls, Sixers, Nuggets.
Look up how good guys like Ty Lawson were in the Euroleague. Also, you make it seem like Kirilenko and Krstic are the only two good players on CSKA. Every single guy on CSKA's rotation could be a rotation player in the NBA.

Re: Andrei Kirilenko: All Four Euroleague Teams Could Make The NBA Playoffs
No, they would not. A team with Khryapa and Krstic as the starting front court would get murdered by all the PF/C front courts in the post season. Even Brand would have his way, but imagine the Jazz with Al Jeff, Millsap, Favors and Kanter, no way Khryapa, Krstic and Kaun would be able to stick with those four.
The only advantage CSKA has is size in the back-court, but that would even be exposed with the speed and athleticism used in the NBA as compared to Int'l.

Look at how well Khryapa was in the NBA. Or the fact that Jamont Gordon couldn't get drafted. Or that Sasha Kaun was #56 and never played. Same with Sammy Meija being #57 and not even having a legit shot to make a roster. Or Alexy Shved not even being picked.

A team led by Euroleague scrub Ty Lawson just took the Lakers to 7 games.
Just to show how incredibly pathetic you are and how insanely lacking your basketball knowledge is. You claim Shved isn't good enough to play in the NBA, "not even good enough to be picked in the draft".........
Yet draftexpress just reported that the Wolves offered him a contract.
You really are a scum bag.

You really are an idiot.
A team led by NBA scrub Nenad Krstic is one game away from winning the Euro League.
And I said he wasn't picked you dumb****, not that he isn't good enough.
