    What are you smoking, dude? You say Howard, Bynum, Bosh etc
    are soft and afraid of physical contact? Tell that BS to Bourousis, Lavirinovices and other Euroleague softies. We say every day in Peking how these defensive Euro big men were torn apart by Howard and Lebron. Typical braindead talk about "great" European wing defenders just like bragging before Peking how Diamantidis is gonna shut down Kobe , how many times you have to be kicked in the face by reality, to accept it, I guess never with delusion you have.

    Also there used to be some really great defensive big men in the NBA but not not so much. In the current NBA big men like Rasheed and Kg are considered great defenders. However compared to guys like Mutombo or Olajuwon and big men of earlier times they are not even in the same class on defense. And this is because the NBA stresses offense so much and is so much trying to phase out defense that a "modern big man" is a guy that runs the floor and shoots 3 pointers and is soft and afraid of physical play and contact.

      NBA defense is bad this days compared to 90is, but not because players got wores defenders it's because rules changed and favorize ofense...and when it comes to comparison with europe, euro defense may be better overall but not because players are better defenders it is because rules alow that. 95% NBA players after giving time to adapt euro rules and style, and after being tacticly educated would be lock down defenders in europ. Euro defenders are better only in tactical part where individuals have better defensive fundamentals and generaly play defense bit smarter.....
      Jordi Bertomeu sucks!
