NBA TV:

"Ricky, what's the biggest adjustment you have had to make from playing in Barcelona, to now playing here in the states?"


Ricky Rubio:

"It's basketball, so in the end of the day, it's the same thing. But, over here, maybe, you can run more. There are more spaces because there is a defensive 3 second zone.

And it's easy to play here, because of all the spaces you have, and they can't be more than 3 seconds in the zone. So that it looks easier going to the rim.

[PrimeJohnnyDepp]

It's all about bone structure and marketing power, while Euroleague is more of a Missing Link league. So now what?

Yes in NBA it's easier to get to the rim, there is more space and defense is different, you get a lot less help defense in NBA that's why guys like Ty Lawson plays better in the NBA, if he beats his first man there is often no real help. But guys like LeBron (who are big and quick at the same time) would still dominate because he wouldn't really care as long as he gets inside anyways, not even talking bout mid range game which wouldn't be a lot different, problem would be with travelling as for a lot of NBA players though, and that's another reason why some players get easier to the rim in the NBA.

[RazorBaLade]

If its so easy can he average more than like 6 points? goddamn. your team is 2-4.

hes obviously referring to just spacing and stuff being different tho..

[kidachi]

OP masturbated into this.


anyway.. he should score more then.. and average a triple double

And here we go... long pages of balant trolling ahead...

just perma-ban this s[COLOR="Black"]hit[/COLOR] stain from the NBA forum already!

[shootingcomets]

they should get rid of defence 3 sec... the rule is dumb

[Sakkreth]

You would see lot less dunks and inside scoring, are you sure about that ?

Do you really want Westbrook to go to the D league? Take the 3 sec away and throw the handcheck back into the league and that's where Russell ends up. Also there aren't that many skilled big men these days. The rules today favor the perimeter guys and take shots away from the big men.

I think that the reasons for Rubio's solid play, so far, when compared to his miserable performances in the Euroleage just prior to joining the Wolves need to be examined.

Its a legitimate question that I've wondered about. If the OP can shed some light on the issue, I see no problem with it.

[sosolid4u09]

lol some of you asses getting offended.

hes just telling it how it is in his opinion.

hes had a very promising start to his nba career. and once he settles in and starts getting more time and starts coming out of his shell, this dude is a special special prospect

It's not his opinion that bothers me.
It's his agenda to smear shit all over the front page.

[shootingcomets]

Yes

bout time big men make some hook shots and actual post moves


As for dunks, if they actually play good defence they can still easily dunk in transition
