The Emergence of the European Player There is a big difference in the European Basketball game in comparison to the American Game. These European players are coming over to America and taking jobs while the overseas pro basketball market is expanding in the hopes of competing for NBA players in the next few years. Obviously, this is nothing new but why I bring this up is that when it comes down to the actual player from overseas and comparison with the NBA player, the European player is much more likely to be more fundamentally sound. I have seen it first hand playing in Italy. Sure, as American players we will come down and dunk on you or jack it from deep, but the footwork, the mid range game, the art form of shooting is just overlooked in the states. I was curious to see everybody's opinion on this matter and also on European, and other leagues, competing with the NBA for players, money, talent...Thanks
European is definitely more refined in the art form and technical aspects but americans have the show stopping parts down probably due to the large desire of american fans to see spectacular plays
