NBA needs to learn that basketball its a sport not a show, and Euroleague needs to learn that even sports need money and investors.

EuroLeague>Nba

[@abw1317]

Each league has its positives and negatives, but the Euroleague crowd is unmatched. Its like college sports in the US or the NBA finals for a top team. I went to an EL game as just a spectator and got sucked in to the cheering. Didnt know a single player on the court at the time.

I know i would NOT change the f4. My uncle is an Oly fan and the 2012 f4 win against Cska is one of the best moments in his life. A game series would be more fair, but it would definetly not have the magic of the f4.

Nothing to learn from NBA, especially NO to widening the court. We need to build popularity in Europe, not China or the US. We have different mentality. Europeans like a physical, tough game and real struggle. I'm so sick of hearing people say more points equals more entertainment. Look at how europeans love football,, a sport with few goals per two hour game. NBA became a circus with very athetic performers and drama off the court.

Imagine Obradović coaching the Hawks in the NBA I already see Trae sitting on the bench 3 minutes in for not playing D the way he wants him to play and ofc Obradović being bright red in the face yelling I please you Trae

What I think a lot of Europeans don’t understand about the NBA is that there is actually too much talent. The league is addressing this issue by expanding. On a given team there could be 2 or 3 of the top 50 basketball players in the world. And it has been proven that the current NBA is not playing less defense or worse defense it’s that the offense talent overmatches it.

[@RaanDohmSchitt]

you left out the fact that EuroLeague is not a competition taking place in a single country. American states are not like European countries - different nations, different people, different GDPs hence different budgets. the only thing NBA and EuroLeague have in common is the fact that they both play basketball. everything else is a different story in Europe. Also, what you said about having favourite players and not teams, this happens at a lower rate in football.

[@linochiodi1003]

You forgot to mention that each of Euroleague teams has its own national championship, which has primary importance for most of them. It is also true that Euroleague teams are generally much stronger than the other national teams, therefore they don’t put the same intensity on those games in order to spare energies for Euroleague.

[@ioanniskalafatis]

Euroleague is a much more fun league to follow than NBA

[@DimShamrock]

If you like better offensive skills, individual oriented basketball, flashy dunks, extravagant passes and three point shots from another planet,

[@MrReese]

Comparing the Euro League (which is an international competition) to the NBA is a bit of a problem because they work in different ways. Only the best teams from the respective European countries play in the Euro League, so the Euro League is not the main competition of any team, it's the bonus competition, often for doing well in their national competition (which could be compared to the NBA).

[@jongurrea6831]

With a best of five finals in the Euroleague there would be less surprises. Partizan or Zalgiris will have it tougher to win in a best of five finals against Real Madrid or Panathinaikos (maybe this year?).

[@wuzi7049]

There is a reason those rules were created in the NBA. When they were legal it broke the game, because the level of athletes the NBA has.

[@ericwilliams2980]

The Euro league arena atmospheres looks like the football atmospheres which is quite unique

[@MrGoosey4]

With the NBA implementing the in season tournament I would love to see European teams invited would help the game grow and would be interesting to the see the different play styles clash

[@JedoRPG]

Just subscribed! I love the 2-league comparisons and I hope you make more of these types of videos!!

[@xFurashux]

If too many teams would get into playoffs then the regular season will mean less as you may play bad and still get to playoffs. On the other hand 10 out of 20 getting into it seems fine for me. You still need to be in the better playing half. I wouldn't make a tournament out of it thought. Just 7th plays 10th and 8th plays 9th for 2 places in the playoffs quarterfinals.

Awesome content. Loved the idea and research of the video
