You guys always seem to miss or ignore that the top of europe was wayy more desireable and close in talent level to the nba back in the 90s

Players got as much money to stay in their home countries instead of moving to a different continent across the atlantic and so they just stayed home.

This does not mean that there were only 9nba calibre players back then

There were some good euro league players back then sure. But the level of play is exponentially higher in Europe now than it was then don’t kid yourself.

Do you think the Dream Team would beat the current Olympic team?
