he dropped 20 today

[skinsman1]

aight aight, i can dig this.

[icedilli25]

@nosrevInellA He is very good, small players are fastest one

[nosrevInellA]

it sucks how small player's are always getting traded around.

@mangobango2o4

yep u r right in that way.

talkin bout linas kleiza, he averaged over 20pts in olympiacos but in nba he is sixman.

but let me conclude one thing: fiba basketball is more strict than nba to play due certain rules like travelin and fouls e.g) semicircle, and hooking arm, or kicking while shooting

one must admit that has to be smarter in fiba to play, as boykins said

but idk. i wanna see nba phenoms in euroleague

4 example, petrovic used to notch 40s and was in nba with 20s

[mangobango2o4]

@strikebandit also the euroleague is a more a team league. they do not simply pass it the 1 guys and let him do everything like in the nba.

[mangobango2o4]

@strikebandit they do not avg more than 30 because they do not have scoring phenoms like tracy, durant, dirk, kobe. you have to admit the best of the best basketball players go to the nba. only some stay in the euro league because of their personal choice. put dirk in the euro league and without a doubt he would be putting up 35 - 40 points a game.

@mangobango2o4

another proof.

if fiba were easier to play than nba, why wouldnt boykins have averaged more than 20 pts, and he being a good shooter?

averaging 20 pts in fiba is kinda impossible, i want you to look at the euroleague or any european leagues: spain, france, serbia, croatia, lithuania, russia, well stuffs like that.

not many players average mo than 20 and rarely 30.

its harder to play because they re toleratin mo contacts than nba, so its harder 2 play. u must take care urbody

[strikebandit]

@mangobango2o4

proof i give you. US had to work with coach K for 8 years to achieve that u know. for 16 years there was no gold for usa in WBC

durant was the only player that had to decide the game. luckily he resulted more than 20 pts a game with surprising 3pt%, u know.

and yeah. fiba use zone, but know that they are mor strict on travelin and charge rule. i dont play that good but there is certainly big difference between F and N. fiba is more likely strict.

that is why fiba have to be smart

[mangobango2o4]

@strikebandit lol thats funny. the only thing thats hard on fiba is driving the lane, thats why europian players are mostly shooters. It's hard to drive the lane because the court is smaller than the nba, but it is soooo much easier to defend in fiba than the nba. because teams can now use zones because of the size of the court. And its also easier to shoot threes in fiba. fiba is not harder to play than the nba, its actually easier. proof, USA dominated fiba this year.

His shooting style, percentage and accuracy is awesome!!!
