European players more skilled - Bryant


Los Angeles (AFP) - European youth basketball coaches are doing a better job of teaching the game's fundamentals than their US counterparts, and the results show in the NBA, Lakers superstar Kobe Bryan

Bryant, speaking after the Lakers' 109-106 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday night, said that players such as the Grizzlies' Spanish big man Marc Gasol -- and his brother Pau -- have been given a better background in basketball basics.
"In America, it's a big problem for us," Bryant said, in comments reported by the Los Angeles Times. "We're not teaching players how to play all-around basketball.
"That's why you have Pau and you have Marc and the reason why 90 percent of the (San Antonio) Spurs roster are European players, because they have more skills."
In fact the reigning champion Spurs are a veritable United Nations of basketball, with a team featuring French players Tony Parker and Boris Diaw along with Argentina's Manu Ginobili. Italy, Brazil, Australia and Canada are also represented on their roster as well as the United States.
Bryant said his own skills owe much to the childhood years he spent in Italy when his father, Joe Bryant, played basketball there.

Had all of his early basketball education come in the United States, Bryant said, "I probably wouldn't be able to dribble with my left, shoot with my left, have good footwork."

Six months from now some studious fuck in Media will repackage it, post it, then wait for the ESPY guys to contact him to shine his shoes and show up for an award that nite. Pear shaped tones, slick as cat cum off a hot rock avoiding the black connotation at the get go he'll be a sage.

airfare is so motherfucking expensive, where do you get your tickets from?

[DMC]

You need to date someone who works for the airline (make sure it's an international airline) so you can get either cheap tickets or free rides.

Kirby is absolutely right that AAU ball is a cancer that destroys the fundamental development of young players. I remember back in the days when a top 5 draft pick could change the fortunes of a bad team overnight. Now, pretty much any player but the number 1 pick is a "project" that is drafted on "potential."

That said, American players, despite their lack of fundamentals, are still better players on average than Euros. For all the offensive fundamentals Euros have, they're pretty bad on the defensive side of things and Euro bigs typically can't rebound worth a shit.

This also isn't a Euro vs. American thing, since Americans were the ones who taught Europeans those fundamentals in the first place. It simply illustrates how fundamental development has changed in the post-Jordan era, with every aspiring inner city player wanting to be "Like Mike," and treating team basketball like a glorified one-on-one contest. Pretty ironic since Jordan was fundamentally sound, but kids who grew up on his highlights and commercials didn't get the full story of how Jordan really played the game.

Kobe also "has no room" to criticize, since his game often devolves into a AAU-style war of one-on-one attrition. Kobe does have great individual fundamentals, but his team game fundamentals are pretty bad.

If I ever go to Europe, Scandinavia peninsula would be my first destination tbh. Scandinavian bitches are super hot and I'm still saying this even though I'm no longer as much of a Johansson fan as I once was.

She's not Nordic she's jewish

[Franklin]

She's not Nordic she's jewish
She's only half Jewish bro, her mom is Jewish but her dad is an immigrant from Denmark. And Johansson is a common surname in Sweden tbh. Most Jewish bitches look just as shitty as Natalie Portman, so it's easy to say Scarlett would've never looked so good without the Nordic blood in her tbh.

[lefty]

Kobe is an all around player ? :lmao



By his logic, Dirk the jump shooter is also an all around player :lmao


And did Pippen learn to play in Europe ? :lmao

[Kool Bob Love]

Did Kawhi play AAU?

[ambchang]

Does good fundamentals involve missing a ton of shots? Most shots missed in the history of the NBA in fact.

[pgardn]

I'm also going to Europe. Should be fun outside of the work.

But I'm coming back here. The white cracker heads who wish to visit the motherland, do the US a favor and stay, or at least die, over there.

Thanks.
