What are you even talking about.

When have you ever heard an American say that good players are only born in America?

I'm not American and even I think that statement was ridiculous.

When the Lakers won the Championship, I was sporting my Gasol jersey, not my Kobe one.

I think National Pride tends to skew people's beliefs from all countries. Where someone is born has very little to do with the end product of skills. Talent, Drive, and Opportunity are what determines skill, not birthplace.

chill mate,

its still a 5 million matter that rubio would be paying from his own pockets. if you were a young kid playing basketball. i dont think its 100% correct to pay your way to play basketball.

as much as anyone, i do believe wants to play in the nba but not all players get the ooportunity of a lifetime.

some players who are stars in europe or any other league are asked to play in the nba but got cheaper contracts look at toronto raptors small forward.

i think we all do things to make a living, some are contended to have enoug just to eat and have a place to sleep while some get to have a chance to have 5 sports cars and a beautiful wife while at the back of it has a collection of what we may say as a pron flick ready for your desires.

thats why i applaud steve nash, as much as a nba championship is set as a goal for nba teams. i mean who would remember all that after 3 generations from now. nash sign the best deal he goes home happy and his future is way more secure.

wilt 100 points never really have much impact on us compare to the airness of micheal jordan. yeah thats 100 points but what about it? could you reminiscing the moment? as much to me its just a collector card for you to see.

as for rubio staying . . . good move kid! now get yourself better in those 2 years

I can never tell if someone is actually responding to me or if the response just comes to me because I was the last one to post.

I responded to you because I was agreeing with what you said

I think this is to tough. ACB and Euroleague is not as far as you might think from NBA....specially from certain teams.

This is a common belief outside of the USA. I expect it is about as accurate as saying US Futbol is not as far from Top Euroleague as you might think.

MLS is waaay behind any of the top European leagues.

MLS is waaay behind any of the MEDIUM European leagues.

You have echoed my point
