Which NBA players could we lure to the NBL?

Team defence is better in Europe. Because they are taught basic defensive principles from a young age, all 5 guys on the court in Europe can play containment defence.
In the NBA, there is often 1-2 superb defensive players on the court at one time for one team. e.g. Lakers--Kobe and Artest are great defensive players, but Fisher is fairly average.

In the NBA, people exploit the weak links i.e. The 3 or so on the court that are average or below par. I was watching NBA the other day. Some defensive decisions were terrible..Help side was too close to the split line (not enough time to recover to shooter in NBA), Players allowing penetration by poor closeouts etc.

Anon- I know that Joe Ingles new team - BArcelona, beat a full strength NBA championship side in the LA Lakers, and they weren't the only ones.

If Kobe, Gasol, Odom and Fisher can't get it done against quality european opposition after back-toback titles in the NBA, then I think Isaac has a solid point.

And before you reply with "they didn't play their hardest" Let me recamp by saying, I'm a lakers fan, and i watched it, and i can admit that Barcelona won it fair and square. Those guys wouldn't suit up, if they weren't going to give it their all...

I know this has done previously, but I am looking for any old Sixers footage people have that is of reasonable quality.

I noticed Bruce Ninnis had a lot, did anyone get in contact with him? And if so can they please let me know how to.

Any response will be greatly appreciated.
