I think this should highlight the difference in quality between the NBA and Euro

I think he probably was looking for stability with a young family. Had he signed a deal in the NBA it would have been his 4th team in 2 years.

I think fans believed Niko was better than he actually is, he was only a 36% 3 point shooter, but he worked out about as well as any move can for the Pels. He was a key player in winning a playoff series and even though you traded a 1st to get him (and dump Asik) you got 4-5 2nds back which is pretty similar value to what you gave up. Thank you Bobby Portis.

He took some of the most difficult shots though. His 36 percent had a lot of gravity.

And played pretty well on the defensive end.

Yeah I love Niko and really glad the move back is working out well for him. 28 ppg doesn’t actually surprise me. Man could drop 40 when he was hot in the NBA. One of my favorite Pels memories was when he dropped like 36 and was getting MVP chants in the Smoothie King Center.

Also don’t forget, that was the fanbase and team AD quit on. We were rolling until that pussy deliberately started sitting for non injuries and point shaving in the 4th quarters he did play, just so he could have an excuse to force his way out.

Yeah, I’m mad and I always will be. AD is the biggest cuck and fraud in NBA history.

The best PF and C (Jokic, Giannis, Sabonis, Vucevic, Gobert etc) are mainly europeans.

The best coachs are also in Europe...They don't coach in nba cause the disproportionate freedom of nba superstars (Atkinson fired, Blatt fired etc)

Teamplays and zone defense is much better developed in Europe than in USA...

I really think Americans should be inspired by certain things that are done in Europe (not everything of course) .... It's by learning from other continents we progress...

A player like Luka Doncic risks being seen every decade in Europe...
