    Default Sonny Weems And Ricky Rubio Admit The Truth, NBA Isn't As Hard Or Tough As Euroleague

    Ricky Rubio says that it's easier to score and get to the rim in the NBA than it is in the Euroleague, because of the defensive 3 seconds rule.

    Sonny Weems says that the Euroleague is more physical than the NBA, that it's harder to score in Euroleague because of the defensive 3 seconds, which allows 3 men in the lane at all times, and that players in the Euroleague have to be able to shoot and have all around skills to play well there, whereas in the NBA, a lot of players can have roles without being able to shoot, or without having all around skills.

    He also says that European basketball is better at developing the skills and all around games of players.

    If it's easy then how come Rubio has never even made the playoffs?

    Didn't he win championships in Euroleague yet continues to scrub it up in the NBA?

    Rubio won ONE single championship in Euroleague, being the 12th best player on his team. He also has much better stats and performance in the NBA, than he ever did in Euroleague.

    Why does Rubio shoot 36% from the field then? And that's his career average people, his best season he shot 38% from the field. ****in losers.

    It looked way easier for him every time I saw him play this year. He was scoring in all kinds of ways easily, handling the ball, making good passes. He was having it much easier than he had it in Euroleague, where they actually play defense, where there is a defensive 3 seconds rule, and where the refs are not inclined to give out free throws for the most minimal of contact, like they are in the NBA.

    Why did he set an all time Euroleague record for the most air balls shot in a season, with 19?

    Why are his NBA stats, even from his rookie season, much better than any of his stats in Euroleague?

    And don't give me the "he was 14-16 when he was playing in Euroleague" made up bullshit lie that outbreak uses here all the time.

    Rubio was 20 the last season he was in Europe, and still had worse play and stats than he did the next season in the NBA.

    Is that why they aren't stars in this league then?

    On the other side of it however, you have Anthony Parker

    No where except for fake NBA hype marketing and the delusional minds of NBA only fans is that seen as being the case.

    Euroleague has had for years an anti flopping rule, and it is strictly enforced.

    The whole Euroleague is soft bullshit comes purely from the NBA marketing gimmicks and from xenophobic and racist stereotyping. And NBA only fans refuse to watch the Euroleague, so they actually believe the much softer NBA is actually "more physical" than the Euroleague, which is in reality at least probably like 3 times more physical than the NBA is.

    The same Anthony Parker that was the 2nd or 3rd best player on his team (after Sarunas Jasikevicius and Nikola Vujcic) in Maccabi 10-15 years ago, when Euroleague was much worse than it is now (the budgets of the biggest teams in Europe then, were lower than the budgets of teams with the lowest budgets in Europe now).

    The same Anthony Parker that was a starter in the NBA for 6 years, and started on NBA playoff teams?

    Your Euroleague bashing NBA only fan Anthony Parker troll shtick was debunked as myth years ago.

    At least actually try to use some tact and come with something even remotely relevant to the discussion at hand, if you are going to troll.
