Does The EuroLeague Have More Intelligent Players Than The NBA? | REAL ONES HOTLINE

In this clip, a Real One calls in to ask Pat the difference between playing in the EuroLeague vs playing in the NBA. Pat discusses his time playing in Ukraine, Russia and Greece. He talks about the levels between the different clubs, including playing for one of the biggest clubs in Europe, Olympiacos.
Pat also recommends that Rone visits the city of islands, St. Petersburg Russia and why it's a sleeper party city.

I really like Pat Bev the European, he really embraced the Balkans culture, which is one of the coolest ways of living. The US, UK, France and Germany are great, but the whole eastern and southern europe parts are another vibe, because people are a bit more simple, more approachable and always curios of strangers, especially of other races 😂

[@AVAXII]

He played in Russia, Ukraine and Greece. Russia and Ukraine have absolutely nothing to do with Balkans, or Balkan culture.

[@liviujivan5680]

@@AVAXII agreed that geographically they're not there, however Ukraine borders the Balkans, but culturally both countries share the same religion and values with the other ones and the lifestyle is pretty similar.

[@AVAXII]

@@liviujivan5680 Ukraine borders Balkans? Which country? It's not ex Yu, it's not Greece, It's not Bulgaria. Romania maybe? They might have the similar lifestyle. Never been to Ukraine, so I wouldn't know. Altho, not all balčkan people have the same lifestyle. Croatians and Romanians have pretty different lifestyles :) But I get what you are saying. All good ;)

"ethnies" not races

[@ZhylvisLT]

It’s again a misconception here, #euroleague is not every league in Europe. #Euroleague is set of clubs from certain countries. It’s the best competition besides the NBA. When Pat is talking about his teammate taking shot before the game it’s definitely was not during the Euroleague game. There are only 18 teams in Euroleague, if some American play in Europe but it is not one of those clubs, trust me he is not playing in Euroleague.

[@robertosc2634]

Pat bev did play euroleague with olympiakos but only one year though and only played 19/34 games

[@ZhylvisLT]

@@robertosc2634 yes for sure, but the case with a shot definitely is not from Euroleague.

[@jaytorr6701]

It's a matter of space. In Europe you don't have defensive three seconds violation. So you can plant a big or two and protect the paint. Also the three point line is 2 feet closer. So defense can recover faster. Hence teams need to use ball movement to create space, there is no way you can play one on one like in the Nba. Think of the Spurs play in 2014 against Miami. So if ball movement is needed to create offense, athleticism is not as essential, ball moves faster than a player.

[@PIANOPHUNGUY]

Europeans love sports with goalies. Soccer, team handball and hockey. The euros want a goalie for basketball too.

Right at the end of the clip: "It's crazy to just know that this is part of what's going on in the world maaan... just OH, this city is incredible and I didn't know it existed..."

[@AAblade7]

USA living abroad so I can say this with pretty solid experience. The majority of people only really pay attention to things within 100 km of where they live. After that their knowledge and experience tends to fall off. Thus a lot more Europeans live within 100 km of a international border. So yeah Europeans like to talk about how more international they are, but we have states just as big or bigger than the countries in Europe. don’t believe me compare a Texan describing Oklahoma to a Spaniard describing Portugal. Sounds very similar. You can keep saying crap like you just did, but just remember when you look in a mirror you sound just as ignorant as those stereotypical ‘Mericans’ that you think your so superior to.

[@leonweis704]

I like how open minded they talk about it. They don't disrespect anyone. Just different vibes, cultures and approaches to the sport. Thumbs up :)

[@KobeManuPetro]

Man, Pat really went through all levels of basketball. He must have abundance of interesting stories

[@sportschool3537]

Rising from the shit to reach the top makes players GREAT... the problem with guys that are superstars from day 1 is that they don't appreciate what they have... they become pampered and spoiled... this is why Giannis and Jokic are utterly destroying the NBA... Jokic was a kid in a country in the middle of war... Giannis was raised and half the days there wasn't enough food on the table... when he got recognized as a talent the Greek scouter told his family to give Giannis more food than his brothers cause he needed it and the scouter actually gave some money out of his limited pocket to help with food as well... imagine how you feel filling your stomach while you see your brothers wanting more and not having enough for them... How many NBA players have actually experienced shit like that? Sorry but even the NBA players that were raised in very bad neighborhoods, most of them had a good plate of food every night and a warm bed... people that have been raised in hell are always very hard to deal with because compared to that, a game of basketball is NOTHING for them...

I wouldnt go that far to say who is more intelligent. İts more about what is required. You americans dont love Basketball you love watching guys compete.. your nba draft Looks only for athleticism rather than the whole Package everything europeans do americans could do as well but yet you prefere pure athletic ability. I mean Imagine a player with lebron James athleticism and jokic playing iq right away. To achieve that you have to cut off their athleticism in College. LeBron became much more a Student of the Game önce his athleticism Dropped. So therefore you have to create that artificially in Order to make their bağ bigger.

nba as quality of players goes is better,big money is there, but entertainment wise far worse to watch, nba season is unwatchable, zero D,zero interest for win or lose,so as a fan of bball euroleague has a spark,coaches yellin and cursing, and the crowd....who been in serbia or greece in those games will understand, man the chill when 5k crazy fans start singing loud,the atmosphere can not be described,you have to witness. other thing is that some overpayed guys in the nba like ben simmons get 170mil and its questionable how he would fair in the euroleague. would he be the best player in europe considering the money? i think not even close.
