Iverson's looking like a role player on this team.

Did you expect him to be much more than that? Josh Childress was a role player in Olympiacos. Linas Kleiza was a role player in Olympiacos. Brandon Jennings was barely even to the level of a role player in Roma. Granted, they were playing in a higher league, but Iverson is still playing against good competition.

NBA fans just like to greatly exaggerated to the point of absurdity about how NBA players perform in Europe. The only guy that went from the NBA to Europe and was truly a star was Dominique. And today, the level of competition in Europe is quite a bit better than it was then.

man ai is 35, i don't think anyone really expected a 35 year old undersized shoot first guard to go over there and average 4947958 points a game :
it's refreshing to see him play at any level

This is the type of poster that greatly exaggerates the level of NBA players against European club competition. Like I said, only one NBA player was an actual star in Europe and that was Dominique. However, there is a myth in the US that every NBA player was a superstar and super dominant if he played in Europe.

It's really a complete fantasy with no basis in reality. Compared to what most NBA players do when they first come to Europe, even if it is Eurocup and not Euroleague, Iverson is doing better than most.

Most of the guys that come from the NBA struggle like hell for quite awhile in Europe, despite all being falsely hailed as "superstars" and "dominant" on every American basketball forum.

So, seriously, some of the comments here bashing Iverson's play are over the top.

NBA is better than the league Iverson plays in, which is Eurocup. The NBA is hardly at all any better than the Euroleague.
