Foreign players

[jackass]

Last five years or so the NBA has shifted towards these guys during the draft but when will one of the idiots step up and lead their teams to an NBA championship. These clowns from Europe are a joke during gut check time. I'll take a ****** from virgin islands any day against a European.



*****enough with the comparisons please******

Not sure about the "monkey" line, but I totally agree. When it comes down to crunch time, the European players are extremely soft. I can remember Vlade missing free throws to set up the Horry three a few years ago, along with countless Peja chokejobs throughout the past three years, along with Dallas never being able to get it done (although that could be blamed on Don Nelson). I think it will be a long time until a Euro star leads their team to a title. Toni Kukoc hit some big shots with the Bulls, but the "European Clutch Performers" book would be an extremely short read.
