Basketball in general is physical.

"Problem" with soft euros is that usually that the people who make it to the NBA are/were good shooters who are usually not physicall in the first place.

Nowitzki, Stojakovic etc.

Most the European players in NBA is soft and are floppers same exact way they are in Europe. Calderon, Dirk, Pau, and them? :lol Of course in Europe just a bunch of soft floppers the same way. NBA is obsess with all the soft and flopping players from Europe. The physical and tough players from Europe they seem never even consider.

Believe me most the European NBA players will be consider VERY soft if they would be playing in Europe.

No it isn't. Everything is a fucking touch foul these days. If you were referring to the 90's and 80's you might have had a point.

The FIBA ruleset allows a bit more contact but generally the teams are a bit more perimeter oriented most likely due to the shorter 3point line.
