The NBA as the world's top basketball masters dream of the place, these years have indeed achieved a large number of non-American superstars, from the previous Nowitzki, Nash, and then the alphabet brother, Doncic, Jokic, Embiid, have successfully won their own proof in the NBA, but as the NBA has paid more and more attention to outside projection over the years, and reduced the intensity of physical confrontation, but also let many players begin to question whether the strength of the NBA can really be worthy of the world's top level?
Hezonja said the NBA was putting on a show, and there were 8 players like Doncic in Europe
Recently, former NBA player Hezonia accused the NBA of being more of a show show: "I'm not going back, I don't get enough respect there, in my opinion, the NBA is more of a show than a game, it's not the highest level of basketball." 」 In addition, Hezonja is even more proud to say that players like Doncic are much more difficult to defend than LeBron James, there are 8 players like Doncic in the European League, and said that the level of European basketball is much higher than that of the NBA.
The 27-year-old Hezonha, from Croatia, was once a very optimistic European striker, was selected by the Magic with the fifth overall pick in the first round in 15 years, when his draft template was also regarded as the NBA star Maddy who had played for the Magic, because this young man from Europe did show excellent ball quotient and athletic talent at a young age, but officially came to the NBA, Hezonja did not cash in on his talent, only 5 seasons in the NBA, he left the NBA, He averaged just 6.9 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game throughout his NBA career, and after leaving the league, Hyzonja returned to the Europa League to join Greek giants Panathinakos.
Gidey has also questioned the NBA, surprised at the small amount of training
In addition to Hezonia, there are many players who have questioned the intensity of the NBA, and the Australian guard Josh Gidi, who is currently playing for the Thunder, also said in a recent interview with the media that he was not surprised that the training volume of the NBA team was so low, last season Gidy played for the 36ers in the Australian NBL, when he had to train 5 times a week, there will be training games every day, but after coming to the NBA, there is only one set of formal training a week, and it is important to know that Gidy is only 19 years old this year. Such a young lad should even question the NBA's low training volume, which is indeed a lament, "Is the NBA really going backwards?" The tall guard from Australia, 2 meters 03 tall, was picked by the Thunder with the sixth pick in the first round at last year's draft, and in his rookie season, Gidy was able to deliver 12.5 points, 7.8 rebounds and 6.4 assists, becoming the core of the Thunder's backcourt organization.
Doncic said it was easier to score 30 points in the NBA than the Europa League, is the NBA really so bad?
In addition, as the popular fried chicken in today's league, the lone ranger Young Lord Doncic has also said that it is really easy to break in the NBA, and in a recent podcast program, Doncic said that it was difficult for him to go to Spain alone at the age of 13, and it was easier to get 30 points in the NBA in Europe. Doncic from Slovenia left his hometown at the age of 13 to play in Spain, when he played for La Liga giants Real Madrid, and at the age of 16 he entered the Real Madrid first team, the best player, The European champion, Doncic can be said to have won the "Grand Slam" there. In the 18-year draft, Doncic was selected by the Eagles as a tanhualang, and then was traded to the Lone Ranger, while the rookie season was only 19-year-old Doncic, averaging 21.2 points, 7.8 rebounds and 6 assists per game, becoming the fourth player in NBA history to hand over 20+5+5 in the rookie season. Now that with only 4 years of NBA resume, it has unlocked a number of achievements (All-Star, Best Team, Best Rookie), is it true that the NBA has fallen off the altar of the world's basketball top stage as these "outsiders" say?
