Luka Doncic: It

[90sgoat]

Love Luka, but dude was an MVP in Euroleague and didn't make even the all-star team in the NBA. This quote means nothing.

Was he MVP or Final 4 MVP? There's a big difference.

Regardless, starting next season, Luka is going to be in the running for MVP next 10 years.

what does that have to do with a comparison on quality of defense?


Offense dictates those awards in the NBA. Gobert didnt even make an all star team.

Euroleague be like

at that gif usage

I don

Also noteworthy that Luka points out the Defensive 3 Seconds, which I and others have pointed out as THE major difference compared to previous eras.

Lebron fans are probably the least knowledgeable about ball.

I don’t doubt it. There is so much pace and space in the league. There is absolutely no big man rim protectors. And somehow the European game is way more physical than the American one now LOL

Its like a role reversal.

Back in the 90s and 00s? The "Euros" were considered finesse-types. Depending on the player soft as charmin even

I get the league wanted more scoring, but this quote from Luka is embarrassing.

Agreed.

When Americans are considered physically soft ones, I take issue with that LOL

Now, there was a period of time from the early 2000

Why? He's literally averaging more points in the NBA than he was in Europe

The implication is that it's easier to score in general, not just for him.

[ralph_i_el]

A few other folks have pointed out that he's not dissing the NBA, he's just saying the truth. The rules in the NBA promote scoring. The court and lane size promote scoring. Defensive 3 second rules promote scoring.

These rules are there for everyone though. Doesn't mean the talent is worse of that it's easier to win.

[zeerghit]

hes 100% correct stop acting like you all know jack sh*t about euroleague, none of you watched any games.
lets say if u play no defence u not playing at all,rotations is insanse they using mostly 10-12 players for 40min game
but nba playoffs> any euroleague s*it

Real Madrid-Panathinaikos (89-82): Luka Doncic 17 pts | Eurohoops

[madmax]

not only it is much easier to score in NBA as compared to Euroleague, but the coaches in Euroleague ARE actual stars of the teams and they are running the show, instead of NBA coaches just putting on an expensive suits and prancing on the sidelines catering to their star players lol...in other words, Euroleague > NBA if you want to see how a real game should look like. Remember, I didn't mention a single thing about the quality of players from both leagues though...

I agree. The new CBA, media and exorbitant salaries have damaged the competitive integrity of the NBA.

[Mask the Embiid]

he was right....he was right all along and i didnt want to believe it....what has our league become

(giannis, luka, big wiggle, siakam,zingus)
Foreigners about to run this league for the next 20 years...wow never thought it a happen

[BasketballRehab]

We've written a ton of content about Luka, honestly love how humble he is.
