I don't underrate the euroleague mate, i watch it whenever i have the chance. The bottom line is that the NBA teams are still ahead of european teams, and don't be fooled by some exibition games.
Sony weems one of the best players in Europe is a Raptors reject, James white is a knicks reject. One of the best european players couldn't make it in the NBA, Navarro, Rudy fernandez, Vasilis Spanoulis, Sarunas.....
The talent level in the NBA is mind blowing, physical talent at least.
