Now the Eurobasket tournament is over, I want to comment on the basketball level played in Poland.
Personally I don't think it represents European basketball at its best. Except Spain, no other team would have made it in the Euroleague Final Four.
IMO, Spain would be one of the favourites to take the Euroleague crown, but I also think that teams like Pao, Barca,Messina's CSKA, Oly have much better chances in beating a good playing Spain than all other NT's of this tournament.
Some of the teams which have made it in the top 8 of Eurobasket, would not make it in the top 8 of the Euroleague.Teams like Siena are much better than say, Russia.
Moreover, If you look at the list of absentees on this Eurobasket, it is an absolute joke.
Euroleague > Eurobasket
