Message: [QUOTE="Fairfield Fan, post: 2279325, member: 6911"] OK, they play in the Euroleague. But perhaps Americans need to go pro sooner. American men certainly suffer from lack of training, spending perhaps a year in college, then sitting on benches in the pros. European pros, both in basketball and soccer, turn pro early, get excellent training in the basics, and then rule the world. How many of the NBA top picks who stick are from overseas? How many of the top pros? Maybe that Euro League system is better than the American system. Those two Russian post players tore up an excellent American team of the best players in their age group. And before that, the Japanese came close to an upset. Didn't the Americans lose the Pan-American games a year ago to Canada? And the U16 team lost in the semis? Time for us to wake up and smell the coffee.... [/QUOTE]
