nba VS euroleage

[marc2002576]

how does the european style of play compare to the nba? what are the similarities and the differences between the 2. and in a head to head, who would win?

I think the NBA was heavily influenced by the emergence of 'streetball' as well as the ability for a player to enter the draft straight out of high school. Now players are too flashy and sometime lack fundamentals. However, they are still very athletic, quick and powerful. Most of the European players are just the oppositie. What the lack in speed and natural ability, they make up for by perfect shooting form and impecabble dribbling and passing ability.

In terms of pure basketball and fundamentals, the European leagues in general do well compared to the NBA. It would be close now, and also depends whose rules are being applied to in a "hypothetical" game. Talent wise, the NBA is still better.
