It's hard to compare NBA-Euroleague directly,there is so much difference and so on!
It's similar to the NHL-KHL/european icehockey argument really. For the most part the US based teams will always be 'bigger'. Better infrastructure and more money and probably a better fan base. But at the same time the NBA without its european players would NOT be the NBA that it is today. People will always argue "why do the euro teams over pay for NBA players" well why not, they are hugely popular and will sell jerseys/fill seats but the main thing is 'why does the NBA take all the top european guys' Im pretty sure the yanks wouldn't care if every NBA team was all american if they had enough good players to work it that way.
Bit of a rant, just my thoughts
