      They are definitely more skilled on average, particularly over the last decade.
      Although, one reason they also succeed is because the NBA is soft now. I love the Euro players, but their play-style is heavily favored with the modern NBA. A lot of them play very weak.

    What Luka is talking about "easier to score in NBA than Europe" what he means in Europe you not allowed to travel,you not allowed to make 5 pump fakes before you release the ball while you in motion,you not allowed to double dribble and you also allowed to defend. Thats why players like Luka or Ginobili finds it so easy to score. NBA rules are just a joke,where everything you do on a field is tailored towards offense,and you cant do anything on defense,thats what Luka is talking about

      the problem with ben simmons is that he's ambidextrous to the point that it becomes a double-edged sword for him. he becomes an excellent ball-handler, he can drive right or to the left with ease and finish with the right and left with confidence. his post work is good too because he can finish with both hands but at the same time, because his ambidexterity is embedded in him, it becomes his habit to use both of his hands while shooting. sometimes he'll use left, sometimes he'll use right by instinct which makes his natural jumpshot really inconsistent. he really needs to rebuild his jumpshot by scratch but that would mean a lot of airballs, frustration, etc.

      Because defense is based mostly on effort and basketball iq which the Europeans have, but offense is helped by athleticism which comes statistically from a greater amount of people playing and TBF more black people, plus all the best European players get recruited by the NBA

It is a factor but I can try my hardest to guard LeBron and another can try 50% and we'd both be as effective lmao. If the defense in the euroleague was better we'd see stronger defenders come out of Europe, US players that go there struggle more, or more euro stars come here and have an easier time scoring.

Look at guys like Doncic, Trae Young, Fox, Mitchell, heck even Ingram, Kuzma etc. etc. if theese guys play good their team wins or at least compete for wins. But Booker and the suns get destroyed from everyone and it doesn´t matter if he has a 30 point game or not.
      Yes it is the lack of team effort and all this but after 3 1/2 Seasons it feels weird to see him play well and gets crushed every time. It doesn´t look like tanking or something like that. It looks like theyre incapable of focusing on the game. And Booker can´t wake anybody up so he just does his thing and he looks great because no team in the NBA takes the suns serious. No team feels threatend by the suns so they are like "yeah have him his points, we don´t care, we´ll win anyway."
      I don´t know if there is some truth in what I say. It´s just a feeling thats growing over the last years.
