Bballbreakdown: Meet The 31st BEST Team In The WORLD

[phxspurfan]

They cover CSKA Moscow and how Sergio Rodriguez and Nando "De Cola" are like Nash over there. sucks, as Nando failed here but all of a sudden can shoot in Euroleague (maybe bc Euro SGs are not as tall/athletic as NBA SGs). But he's 6'3" and would have been a massive upgrade over Mills in terms of running pro style offense.

[SpurPadre]

De Culo tbh. He was deemed the Next Manu when he was drafted too.

[DAF86]

lol 31st best team in the World.

Implying crap teams like the Suns are better than the best Euro teams.

this they are better than likely 10-15 teams from the current nba

[phxspurfan]

He actually says at the very end that CSKA could possibly beat 3-4 teams in the NBA as constructed. Too bad the NBA will never go global. Imagine the road trips and B2Bs lol

[spurraider21]

LOL the suns would run a train on these squads. sergio rodriguez and nando de colo are their best players

You can't just be good on the Spurs. You have to prove yourself by running through Pops mental gymnastics gauntlet: you play you don't play, you play 2 minutes and turn the ball over then you sit for 4 weeks, you play good for 3 games then sit the bench for the next two weeks, you have a great first half, then don't see a minute in the second, I pull you when I want because I just want to with your head and show you I'm the boss.

Some good players just can't handle that .

Dude, you don't know how ignorant you are coming off right now. Do you even watch euroball from time to time?

nba > euro > gleague

there are some talented players in europe, no doubt. but a guy like tiago splitter, a good nba player, was the euroleague MVP. the talent dropoff is pretty monstrous. boban was a force in euroleague but cant get on an nba court

[DAF86]

nba > euro > gleague

Yeah, so?

[spurraider21]

Yeah, so?

so, that's not a in venn diagram

[DAF86]

The NBA as a whole being better than Euroball doesn't mean that even the tiest NBA team is better than the best Euro team. That's almost as ignorant as thinking that even the biggest scrub on the NBA is still a better player than the best player in Europe.

player, no.

rosters, yes.

but if your best players are sergio rodriguez and nando de colo, then

Both better than any guard the Spurs have right now. Also, it is arguable that CSK is the best euro team right now. In terms of names they certainly aren't.

And most important of all: it's not only about the players you have. It's also about the system, the chemistry, the execution, the confidence, etc.

Several Euro teams are better than the worst NBA teams, regardless of names.

Sure, Bonner and Fathead could destroy the YMCA league. Doesn't make them world beaters.

If all the NBA defenders went around double screens instead of through them, he'd be an all star here.

You sir are dumb. First that never happened. Also manu was elfinals mvp.... ban this guy

[objective]

Nando's problem wasn't hitting shots it was taking shots. His second year was just passing up shot after shot.

my bad. spanish league mvp.

but lets look at some recent euroleague mvp's... nando de colo (), nemanja bjelica (), sergio rodriguez (), vassilis spanoulis (), juan carlos navarro

not that they're awful players... but mvp caliber? guys could barely make NBA rotations

We've been pushing that "Tiago was the Euroleague MVP" for years. If you say something long enough, true or not, it becomes fact.

Seems to be a common them with Pop coached players not named Patty.

A reoccurring theme with Pop and bench players related to this...
