and i could be the next man to go to the moon

why don't you look up the word could in websters

what do you base this IF probablity on pike.

You got secret workout video, like you had on the next great power foward Jerome James??

Enlighten us, croatia Zen master

thank you tkf

all these euro players come here with the brain washed media reports like pike rhetoric

"Milos could be the greatest european point"

But most are avg nba players. PERIOD.

sadly you the dummie,

we know that pike can you once tell us something we don't know!

You are repeating our point!!!

they all come with the same reports

they fly over short buildings help old ladies across streets all the bull..

but only three have been GREAT.

So I Repeat what are you basing your your if probablities on ??

Numbers??

so you telling your logic is if we keep drafting guys out that league eventually one will be great??? thats your logic on milos??

you sound stupid pike.

again i am not saying milos cant be good, but you are saying he can be great

i want to know why

don't tell becuase of dirkor other european players

that has nothing to do with milos.

what have you saw that indicates milos is good.

pike, we know why more Euro players were taken in round 1, and I am telling you it is the same reason why more and more high school players are being taken in round 1 also. Guys like Lang, outlaw, Ebi,Lebron were first rounders because teams are looking for that next, Kobe, T-mac, just like they are looking for the next dirk with these Euro guys, and I ask you, what is the likely hood of that happening with either scenario?

i think i have answered that plenty of times

you never answered any of my question you have been evasiive

but to play your game i will answer the question

the number one reason is the nba is trying to white wash the league, the nba is to black, and most of the nba fan base is white. there are just more white people in the us than blacks

number two these foreign unknowns add excitement, most u.s fan base have never saw any of these guys and exagerrated press reports can add attention and ticket receipts.


number three to add talent, there is some fair talent over seas.

expansion is the number 4 reason face it if there were 16 teams potenpko would be out the nba.

now pike if your silly debate is too try and tell me that there is a sure fire hot bed of talent thats why so many guys from over seas. are getting drafted i will tell you don't believe the hype.

you remeber the draft reports on frederic weis

i thought so,

the whole point pike, is depite the exagerration, despite the influx there is some talent but 9 times out of tem milos vuljanic is no better than speedy claxton and turkalou aint no better than d barnes.

now you answer why d barnes out of ucla is in the d league instead of jason kapono

d barnes was twice the player he is.

and what the hell you know aabout milos. or lampe.

You make some good points in your last post... and many of you toned down comments are what I have been saying... a lot has to do with dilution and early entry.

I don't think the black/white thing is as much of a factor as you do but, you know how I tend to look at that issue.

As far as watching Vujanic and Lampe... obviously, we haven't seen them as much as the players here but, we don't prefer them because we've seen the others... basketball is growing throughout Europe like a fire in California after a drought... and everything I've read about Vujanic and the little I've seen has been impressive.

All I'm saying is... ten years ago, it would be an impossible to even imagine a continent, let alone an international team from a relatively small country could woop us... now there are many strong teams which leads to little kids in those nations looking to become... the next Darko Milicic... basketball, unlike baseball and football is EXPLODING in Europe... and if you don't think this isn't going to lead to many more players... and more and more stars... I know you're wrong... and I'll be proven right over time.

Happy with this response oh powerful GOD of WAR

pike i got a fat heavy home boy of mine thats ask only about white bball players

it happens

you might think so but it's a issue.

how many black people were watching tennis before venus and serena

with out a white public travis knight and doleac would be in outdoor fishing contest.

they cant play.

i'm not saying it's wrong or right i would do it too it's marketing, it's all about the dollar. so don't confuse me with al sharpton.

but i need a favor from you, you love to say ask 100 gms' ask 100 media personel

that don't hold water with me if i ask 100 media people justin timberlake would be a awesome performer.

i judge for myself.
