RE:Foreign players 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. |
