Can NBA Players DOMINATE In Euroleague?

Coach Nick looks at some ex-NBA players and how they're faring in the Euroleague to figure out how well their games translate. Kemba Walker, Jabari Parker, Serge Ibaka, and Frank Kaminsky are all making impacts on their respective teams while ex NBA player Nikola Mirotic leads the league in scoring.

Please do more of the Euroleague, us Europeans loved the videos you did 1-2 years ago with Saras…🙏🙏

Is Europe a country? I have never seen anyone feel that proud of being part of a whole continent, nobody on Japan, Korea, China says we asians, or people in Mexico, Brazil saying us north americans or south americans

I wish we could get some Edy Tavares footage! He played shortly in Cleveland as a Rookie, but he's become a Perennial DPOY MONSTER in Euroleague. 7'3", strong as hell, and surprisingly agile for his size.

damn shout out to Jabari Parker, 1 point every 2 minutes is more impressive in a lower scoring league life the Euroleague Euroleague helps NBA players grasps certain fundamentals better. They now are focused more on no0t traveling and running around to find themselves open.

[@dusankarimanovic9051]

He is playing for Crvena Zvezda now (Red Star Belgrade) and not doing so well, 'cause he is still searching for his good form. He is in starting line-up, bad in defense, and we hope the he'll pick up some pace at least offensively, 'cause we know how good he can be.

[@Luka-nw6kc]

Coach, i'm from Europe, Croatia if you want to be precise. For about 12 years I only watched nba, but the last couple of years I really lost interest in the nba. I think it strayed away from what should really be. This is the first year I started to closely watch the Euroleague and I'm shocked how good it is. It's everything that basketball is supposed to be. Passionate, composed, exciting, hard nosed. Players don't just run around the court jacking up threes, not playing defense, traveling and carrying like they do in the nba. It's a breath of fresh air in comparison to the show that is the nba. I reccomend everyone to give Euroleague a try

[@SiglHD]

I know your sleep schedule is happier lol

[@samelmudir]

yes. just look at how many passes happen in a half court offense. you don't see ball movement like that in modern day nba

Coach Nick PLEASE continue this series

[@Freethrows36]

From what I’ve watched yes they can but the problem is rotations in my opinion they tend to get froze out of games a lot I think it’s because it’s only ten minute Qtrs and most of the euro league coaches tend to use the whole rotation instead of a set line like in the NBA

[@Elbeerad]

euro hoops are underrated asf! every park in the usa got a cold european w handles,shot and can pass the rock, and if your park dont you ain't hoopin in the right places!

[@blablablaa14]

There are specific players who may not be great in the NBA but can dominate in European Leagues. For example PJ Tucker surprisingly. One guy currently is Sandro Mamukelashvili who just sits on the bench but in Europe would be incredible cause he's much more suited to that type of game

[@AJkunVM]

it’s because the level of competition is much lower in europe, as there are less americans playing there lol

[@blablablaa14]

Its not lower as much as its different. I.e Less speed less athleticism, more team basketball, more defense. Its very different but wouldn't say its exactly less talent cause those players just beat the US team@@AJkunVM

[@Somm_RJ]

​@@AJkunVMNick Calathes would be left in the dust in the US because of so much space and him not being athletically-gifted. But because Calathes had to learn how to play in that environment, those who left him in the dust in the US would not easily thrive here either. The court is smaller. Less space for Americans to exploit without learning the fundamentals on how to play team basketball.

[@wondercat6169]

​@@AJkunVMno not even close to being the reason

[@AJkunVM]

sigh the reason the euro game is different pace and focus is BECAUSE of the gap in athleticism and overall talent. you have to play a style that doesn’t focus on athleticism AT ALL. that’s why we’re commenting on a video about who dominates euroball and the thumbnail is jabari fucking parker. get a grip

[@peterpiper2974]

It would be great if you could also include Sam Decker, who's currently on the London Lions

[@MuswellMunky]

Seconded. Dekker is a Euroleague level player when healthy.

[@fdub301]

I gotta watch more Euroleague

[@eazydp]

Frank Kaminsky is already washed from the NBA! Oh man, time flies.

[@momopouye]

Euroleague is a very tactical style of play with very disciplined teams, a joy for purists to watch.

[@stekons]

Yes it is , but we need our best players back ... Luca, Vezenkof , Bigdanovic, Jokic etc ... Then it would be even better!

[@DubboU]

Honestly, the action is more exciting to watch than the NBA. It became so predictable these days, where every team has a strong emphasis on shooting 3s. You literally see teams giving up easy layups for a 3.

[@mihajlodejkovic3247]

Watch partizan games. Master mind and goat obradovic got great plays

[@Recontramojado]

Mirotic and Ibaka would slide right into a few nba teams rotation. The Thunder could use a big like them sharing some minutes with Chet

[@lukamagicgod]

Not ibaka.

No, because it's about the system over hero ball in overseas basketball.

Can we have Euroleague champion vs NBA champion in ALL STAR Game?

[@motolentino9920]

is the court in Europe shorter?

[@RegulatorJoe]

I genuinely think Jabari Parker can make a NBA comeback. He looks way slimmer and if he can become a consistent threat from 3 a bunch of teams could use him

[@lazlocamp8577]

Nah injuries cost him too much he aint coming back

[@phengmoua2389]

Unfortunately not. Injuries really derailed his career. Not a good shooter either and doesn’t play defense.

[@alvincreatives3974]

Im surprise that Ibaka is in Europe now I thought he's still in the NBA..

[@Ghostridedrio]

yes

[@doomguy2000]

Euro doesn't allow travelling

[@josevim8519]

My team Valencia plays Euroleague and all the ex NBA players that have played here through the years were sh*t Anyway, the ones who come to Europe are all bad nba players/washed ones. Only fact is: Euroleague stars suck at the NBA (Micic, Vezenkov this season).

[@batsoupman1697]

Euroleague could hide defensive liabilities such as Kemba due to the no defense 3 in the key but it also exposes players with low BBIQ and bricklaying players due to the spacing. You can't dominate the Euroleague with just athleticism but the same time, some players in Europe wouldn't translate in the league since they couldn't handle the pace and athleticism of the NBA. Pick your poison

[@deeznaebo]

I LOVE JABARI PARKER

[@Thanos1908]

Historically speaking exNBA veterans are overpaid (and overperforming) roleplayers in Europe. Eg. Byron Scott , Eddie Jones Those that come in at an age that can put up with the grind get the time they earn/deserve.

[@mrmarklin]

Wow just wondered which team Kemba’s on. Is he too bad for the nba?

[@sonofsarek]

I see a lot less travels and carries.

[@freddycalipari4242]

they wont let Parker go there and be the man lol

[@taivo2520]

There’s not a lot of players in NBA and USA basketball base in general know how to play like this…Highlight culture makes the game so hard to watch nowadays…

[@cmpunko2316]

Ibaka would be a perfect fit for the Warriors.

[@malikjames9035]

He’s too tall for them 😂

[@ljcool17]

Giannis shipped Ibaka out to Europe

[@arunasstunzenas4633]

And the answer is no. Simply cause it's team basketball being played in Europe. If there's player on the team who is dominating, so to say much better than his teammates, that team will be probably losing. Looking at the players mentioned in the video, Kemba is a total disappointment. He's currently 11th on his team in scoring, shooting 22,2% from deep. Parker looks good, but he's 5th best player on his team at the outside. Kaminsky and Dozier from Partizan looks satisfactorily, but there's at least 5 better players on the team, that struggling so far. Ibaka and Mirotic, both are good but far from dominating, and anyway shouldn't be on this list. They had plenty of European basketball experience before NBA. So shouldn't be on the same list with the guys without FIBA experience. We must analyze them separately. It is difficult for NBA guys without European experience even to be impactful, forget the dominating. Most of the guys need a year or two to adjust to completely different game. Some fits right away, some, despite good career in NBA, never adapt to new game. Kendrick Nunn at the moment is 6th in scoring and 11th in PIR on his team, with 14.3% shooting from 3. Most recent NBA player in Europe , Edmond Sumner played his first game for Žalgiris in lithuanian league, where competition level is way below Euroleague, and went pointless along with -5 PIR. Sure, it's just one game, and I hope and believe he will be a great help to the team I support, but no one here is expecting him to dominate. In fact, when a guy comes from NBA to Europe, it's more likely that he turns out to become bust rather than a dominator.

[@Fycstion]

Didn't know Childish Gambino played in the euro league.

[@meekmeads]

Warriors v Nuggets video coach? Yikes

[@thymick5581]

Simple: - NBA is just show, super star 5 starter with no bench and attack until one team lead by 30 pts and stop the game to avoid disrespect... - Euroleague is systems, attack and defense all game long (James Harden would suffer so much)

[@slickvik4508]

I would bet you 1000 dollars harden would dominate in the Euroleague. Nobody in Europe has his handle+shot.

[@user-hj8mz3hp3s]

​@@slickvik4508 he would because he would have faced isolation defense and swithes from centers who know to close high post
