What's your playing style?

First topic message reminder :

Just explain the way you play in both offense and defense

I'm sure if you made an All-European game in the all-star weekend, there would be good defense...

Now that I think about it, a majority of European players don't have very good defense...or at least they didn't come to the NBA with very good defense

Not really.There are good defenders from Europe who haven't played in Europe yet who are capable of guarding their opponent but some of them aren;t good defenders.The level of the team defense in Europe is so developed because instead of looking to score,in Europe it's more about defense.Team defense is on high level,the scores of the games are usually with 60 points games.....because defenslivy players look to get more steals,to get charges,block shots,rebound the ball and to stay infront of their man all the time plus the style of playing here is more on team game less individually so there aren't many 20 ppg scorers....although they could be if there's more like individually to play on certain attacks etc

Idk Raza,i haven't watch Euro League All-Star game....so i cannot tell on that

I meant good defense compared to the NBA offensive levels

Name some good defensive european players in the nba...

I can make a huge list of sucky (@ defense) european players if you want...

The best so far has to be Andrei Kirilenko.He's a beast on defense,great at guarding his man,good on perimeter and awsome shot blocker.Plus he does a good job at rebounding.Defensive beast.He led the NBA in blocked shots once

Boris Diaw is another dude.He's versialy defender,has good footwork and great Iq.He knows to use his hands good.I would go with Rony Turriaf then,Pau Gasol,Arvydas Sabonis,Nicolas Batum,Marcin Gortat,Tony Parker(above averge),Rudy Fernandez(above averge),Guarbjosa,Drazen Petrovic,Tony Kukoc.. etc

I'm good in defense.The player I guard usually scores about 6 points.Today my player score 0 pts.

I'm good from the mid-range,not so well fro the post,i'm good in driving the lane.Today I scored a free-throw for the win.

I'm great rebounder too.

umm..no no no....other than Diaw and AK47.....none of them showed any defensive skills when they entered NBA....

But they learned to play good defense.Athletic and faster black players made them look bad on defense Ys...

It has nothing to do with black players...

They get constantly beat by other european players too....

True...there are great defenders but there aare players who can't defend like Nowitzki and Peja....

offence

im shooter/passer combo..

i will shoot a open 3 or even a contested 3
i will pass..allthough most of my passes are to a pf/c because thatss the easiest way to score and get an assist..

i can creat my own shot..

defence

is lock down..beast mode..

i go in a bother them..i foul them..get up in the face..rough and aggresive..
