Can Europeans NBA Championships? I think Not

In light of the ass whooping that the LA Lakers took in their decising game of the NBA Finals, I think my earlier point about European players being too weak to win titles has been made. Tony Parker withstanding, I knew that the Lakers were toast when the finals began. Bottom line Mr. Stern: they need more brothers.

The affirmative action program of the NBA has produced some nice offensive threats. But when it came time to get tough, grab that necessary rebound or play the kind of defense necessary to win titles, the Lakers fell short. That is no different from what Mr. Dirk of the Mavericks did when confronted with the Bay Area hard hats that came to play from Golden State last year.

European players can't win NBA championships. They are just too soft. 131-92 says it all.

Well, tell me if I am wrong but aren´t a bunch of the Spurs players Europeans?

But,the main player on the Spurs is Tim Duncan who is not euro-trash.

To say European players cannot win championships is ridiculous. The Spurs are living proof of that. Tim Duncan has been their franchise player over the years, but Toney Parker has emerged as the new superstar. After all, Toney was the MVP of the NBA Finals last year and he carried the Spurs again this year.

The process of winning an NBA Championship has more to do with having the right players to fit your scheme. I agree that some of the foriegn players in the NBA are on the soft side, but so are some of the brothers. You really shouldn't make such broad generalizations.

But the truth is that most of them can't. They can't play a lick of damn defense. Also, Sir Ted is right, without Duncan, the Spurs wouldn't have won a damn thing. They can replace Tony Parker, and Gino, but they can't replace TD so easily.

Look at the Lakers. It was basically Kobe and a bunch of soft motherfuckers. They couldn't rebound, couldn't play D, nothing. That's why they got whooped by tough brothers. Look at what happened to Dirk last year when he went up against the Warriors. If you put some fear in em, the Euro players turn into lil bitches.
