      In the last 11 years, 6 defensive player of the year awards have been won by Euros. The current best defensive player is Gobert and he's Euro. Wemby is Euro, and he leads the league in blocks. Probably the most athletic player is Giannis and he's Euro. If it's caucasians that are unathletic, then that wouldn't work either, because Mac McClung has won the past two dunk contests.
      Luka says that it's easier to score in the NBA than overseas, so we should increase the number of Euros in the league, to toughen the defense.

      That being said, his point is ignorant because he suggests that the solution is sending Europeans back to Europe. 70% of the league is still American. There’s only two white Euros in the 15 top scorers this year. He doesn’t have an issue with Giannis presumably as he is a previous DPOY.
      The other solution that K Mart mentioned is that not only do we not draft Euros, we draft more college players. So the whole league is a bunch of great defenders that don’t score based simply on the fact they went to college. It’s just dumb.

This is just a group of old players acting like they could do anything in todays NBA that current players cant do. When you have 1-5 spacing, you cannot defend like they did in their day or youll get torched. Everyone can shoot the ball. 15 years ago, youd have a couple designated shooters. Now, 1-4 minimum, usually 1-5, can shoot the 3. You cannot leave your man like before. You cant clog up the paint. The floor is wide open. Remove handcheck rule and defensive 3 seconds and youll give defense a fighting chance. But it aint like these guys arent playing defense. They are

    Wait a minute Gil. Who won the fiba this past year. It wasn't the USA team. They were playing with European rules. Not NBA rules. The European are more fundamentally sound than American players period. Because they came from watching 90s to 2010s basketball. That shooting 3 came from the warriors style of played. And everyone copy it. It was no European player shooting from the logo. It was an American player call Stephen Curry. There is a interview with Kevin Garnett and the commissioner. And Kevin ask him. When are you going to bring back the hand checking. And his respond was. Remember in the late 90s that the game became to physical. And it was hard for a player 6'3 and under to be able to show there skill. And the first player he mentioned was Stephen Curry. There is no resistance on penetration was so ever. You can played more defense on the post,than the perimeter. You were great players with each have there on ability. But my golly went it comes to critic the game from the outside. Blaming European players. When even with redeem team. Spain almost beat the US. With the main superstar still in there prime.

      Hand checking is in the game, just the players are smart enough to do the rip through to get a foul. The game has changed players are smarter and more skilled than ever. Honestly probably better defenders in today's Era than ever before too it's just so skilled now a days. Back just in the early 2000s teams didn't space the floor like they do now, players could sag off there guys and there were usually 2 bigs on the court clogging up the paint with wings and guards that could hardly shoot and dribble. So how hard was defense really when you didn't have to honor your man at the 3 point line and can clog the paint for drives? It's really not difficult to play defense from the 2000s and before

    That was the most bigoted, ridiculous, bullshit take I've ever heard from this guy and there's been some bad ones. Gil has a large platform and should take some damn responsibility for his influence over kids and casual fans. i know he's a hot take artist for clicks but maybe have a little integrity? either way his argument has zero basis in fact and here's why.
    1. the league became more of a three point shooting league when steph and klay came on with the warriors and teams tried to copy them, also james harden championed the step back three, were starting to see american born gaurds come into the league today who were obviously influenced by steph and harden. also the drive into the paint and kick out to shooters thing was invented by lebron james, not to mention its just a good, efficient way to play ball! thats why you always hear ppl say surround lebron with shooters!
    2. adam silver is on the record saying the rule changes/foul calls that have made defense go by the wayside in the league were to make the game more enjoyable for fans to watch, therefore bringing in more fans, not so "soft" euros can make their way.
    3. some of the toughest, most physical, dominant players in the league today are euros, look at jokic, giannis, and luka. you can argue jokic and luka have heavy feet but to say jokic is a bad defender means you've never actually watched him, and for every jokic there is two or three guys like trae young, james harden, lamelo ball, jordan poole. not cause americans are worse defenders just there is more american defenders. also if you actually watch a euro-league game you will understand that their league is way more physical than ours. (i guarantee you gil has never watched a full euro-league game).
    4. 23 percent of the league is made up of players from other countries. even less of that percentage is euros specifically, and even less after that is euro's who are actual starters on nba rosters. so if the argument is that euros are ruining defense and that if we ship them all out defense will come back to the league then you're just plain wrong cause a majority of the bad defense is being played by a majority of the players in the league, especially the ones who start and get a ton of minutes. earlier in the episode gil was making fun of the clippers for letting lebron run rough shod over them, every player on the floor for the clippers during that fourth quarter run was american.
    5. in conclusion, im not saying euros or americans are better defenders than eachother, you could make an argument for americans being better at point of attack defense overall compared to euros but saying euros are the issue with the high scoring league we have now is just plain ignorant. the issue mostly comes down to the way foul's are being called and that the advantage in getting by a defender has been given to the offensive player, bigs also cant camp out in the paint and protect the rim like back in the day. Gil, please shut your mouth.

    If anything the modern ruleset makes it harder for these slow-footed Euro offensive talents like Doncic and Jokic to stay defensively viable. Imagine trying to blow by Luka when he's allowed to handcheck. Imagine if Jokic is allowed to track you with a hand on the waist then ride you out of the lane.
    I really struggle to see how the ruleset was changed to make it easier on Euros. Does Gil think Luka would have no recourse against Marcus Smart if they played by 2009 rules? Y'all were allowed to body Dirk and Tony Parker, they still leveraged their pick and roll skill, their in-between game and their physical tools to be elite scorers.
    Great players are gonna be great no matter the ruleset, maybe there's some variance as to how great each person is depending on his game. Just give the defence more leeway to operate so the game doesn't look fucked. Deporting the Euros is an insane idea.

From that case, he's playing with non-professional players as FIBA considered that before 1992, only NBA was the legitimate basketball professional league, thereby NBA players can't participate with World Championships and Olympics before 1992. Please stop insinuating non sense, we all know even here in Europe that 1960-2000 NBA games was far far elite than any basketball league.

    Since you’re not getting rid of the 3point shot, and it’s the high caliber 3point shooting that keeps help defenders from helping against dribble penetration, move the 3point line back another 5 feet. This means, for the most part, defenders will be released to help on the ball, to stop all of those easy drives and lob passes to the hoop. Doing this will restore the offensive/defensive balance as outside shooters’ point advantage will be neutralized. To take 3point shots in bundles will become a calculated risk and won’t drive the game nearly as much.
