For those who don't know the difference
NBA
- Best player dominates the ball, and produces the most offense
- One on one basketball most of the time is generated through random offense (non playbook)
- NBA loves the athletic, fast leapers because of the basic philosophy that people have with their draft picks:
"that coaches can teach a player how to make a jump shot, make good passes, and so on, but you can’t teach a 40-inch vertical leap!"
- NBA coaches don't have that much influence on their players, except for a couple, why? because the players are paid more.
Europe
- If there if a one on one type of play, it's because its from the playbook/coaches' orders, even the most offensively talented basketball player averages below 20 ppg (see iverson, childress and jennings after their transition)
- Games are only 40 minutes long (NCAA type basketball)
- 3-point line is closer, therefore players don't have a lot of space to operate because of the cramped area inside, making isolation basketball very difficult.
- Athleticism is not a valued skill.
- European coaches have way more influence on their players because they are paid much more than the players and demand respect. (phil jackson is pretty much this though)
whats up miami "fans"
