The World Basketball Situation Is Changing. The European Union Is No Worse Than NBA.

James, Wade and Anthony, who represent NBA's new generation of stars, have done their best and have only won the third place in the world championships.

Many of the Greek and Spanish teams who played in the World Cup finals played in European clubs such as Barcelona and Panna Sina Kos, almost all of them were frequent players in the European Basketball League.

Therefore, a few days ago, "Marca" has declared that the current world basketball is not simply Spain and Greece against the United States, but the European League against NBA.

In the past 10 years, the pattern of world basketball has changed.

In July this year, Zhang Yilin, the writer of the European basketball Union held an annual rally.

The final Quartet Competition was held in Prague, capital of Czech this year. A total of 27 TV stations were broadcast live to 120 countries.

650 journalists from 29 countries have reported the four strong matches this year. Meanwhile, 14000 fans from all over the world are coming to Prague with their club teams. The 17214 main seats in the main stadium are full.

"These data are inspiring, and it gives us the impetus to keep moving forward," said Jordi Bertome, chairman of the European Basketball Federation. Last year, the official website of the European Union increased by 66% more than that of the previous year. This shows that the European Union's influence is very large and is catching up with NBA.

"I don't think there are too many NBA fans in Europe because we have their own league, they love their team, and I hope more American fans will like the European League," he said.

It seems that Tohme has begun to stir up NBA's mind.

They all say that NBA makes a lot of money, and they often hear James and Wade pay nearly 100 million salaries. But such a sky high price belongs to those super stars only. Only a few players from Europe, such as Nowitzki, Peja and Gasol can achieve this level. So many European players are unwilling to join NBA even from the point of view of money.

A player who can earn 1 million dollars in Europe can get a salary of $400 thousand if he enters NBA through the second round draft.

For example, Danish player Dereje, who graduated from University of Florida in 2004, gave up the chance to draft. He immediately joined Barcelona to play the remaining 04 season after graduation. In those days, he got 200 thousand dollars salary, the annual salary of the 05 season increased to 800 thousand, and the 06 season was 1 million, so the Europa League players' salaries were not much lower than those of the NBA players.

"In NBA, it is possible to get a high salary, but it is a risk, and you can have greater protection in Europe."

Dereje said.

Therefore, in addition to the top players in Europe who join NBA, the average player will not go to NBA because of his salary. Just like Spanoulis, who signed with the Rockets not long ago, he said that going to NBA is not for money, but 3 years' 5 million salary. He can easily earn in Greece.

Hamilton, a Real Madrid player, played in many NBA teams. The American player now admits that the intensity of the Europa League is no worse than that of NBA, and is more particular about teamwork. NBA is the two kind of basketball.

In the 20 tight and intense competitions every year, European players know each other very well and progress very fast.

The Spanish national team manager Hernandez believes that if the world championships are carried out according to the NBA rules, "then we may lose to the US team 20 points, but now the FIBA rules are the rules for our players. I do not think there will be any weakness for our team to face the US team."
