    I've heard numerous times that European league basketball is more physical than the NBA. Is this incorrect?
    Seems to be the case. NBA teams had to learn to switch because fighting through a screen is an automatic foul. Luka said it would be easier to score in the NBA and they all on him for it. He wasn't wrong.

    All the ways they tried to slow down Victor in France result in free throws over here.

    Back in 2019 I went on a cruise trip. On the cruise there was one channel that showed nothing but Euro basketball games. Since I'm from America I never had watched a Euroleague game prior to my trip. I watched some of the Euroleague games and was amazed at how physical it was compared to the current NBA. The Euroleague games felt like watching old 90's and early to mid '00s basketball in the NBA. I definitely believe foreign players when they say the Euroleague is more physical than the NBA.

    The tweet is from a fake account, and Yes, Eoropean bigs are permitted a higher level of physicality before a foul is called

    it's absolutely correct. NBA basketball is soft

    Yep. The casual fan prefers games with scores like 123-119. Before defense was essentially outlawed, scores were more like 96-93, and back when physicality was allowed there were a lot of 81-77 games.

    Yeah, it was a fake quote that’s causing needless outrage from a lot of people. Plus the fact that Wemby was taken out of context. Man, fake news is dangerous

    I'm not sure what that means as he called himself out, but referred to himself as basically someone else.

    He's his own burner account?

    He's also someone's alt account. Busted criticizing his own post, quoting himself.

    But that can’t be! The lack of physicality actually makes it harder to score according to the todays nba crowd. Teams are scoring in the 120s on the regular despite complex defensive schemes because they went through x men like mutations over the last 20 years .

    This might be one of the best epic fail threads by an OP ever.
