Melbourne United Contracted Players Confirmed for NBL21

I heard he flew out to America just before the virus hit.

LK said on The Sydney Morning Herald that NBL will work with the government to make sure all imports are allow to be back before the season starts.

Sources are saying that the NBL season will most likely not start in October but later.

If October was possible then the only way is to have crowds in by that time which is unlikely. The NBL will not let the season commence with having no crowds.

That’s hardly outstanding, better than Sydney at present though.

I think we need to get some reality in this forum about the actual level of the NBA. So many people here obviously overrate the NBA to an absurd, maybe even ludicrous degree.

Especially when they start talking about the level of the NBA as it compares to the level of the Euroleague. Well, let's just actually examine it.

The NBA and the Euroleague have played 18 games against each other, using "FAIR RULES", since the modern and current league of Euroleague was formed.

The "FAIR RULES" games refer to the games where they use an NBA sized court, the NBA 3 point line distance, and NBA rules, but where they also allow a true zone defense, having no defensive 3 seconds. And in these "FAIR RULES" games, they have 2 NBA refs, but also 1 FIBA ref.

This is seen as making a "FAIR" game.

In these 18 fair games........here is what has happened:

2003: Memphis Grizzlies 91 - Barcelona Basquet 80

:1-0

2006: Barcelona Basquet 104- Philadelphia 76ers 99

:1-1

2006: Phoenix Suns 100 - Virtus Roma 93

: 2-1

2006: CSKA Moscow 94 - Los Angeles Clippers 75

: 2-2

2006: San Antonio Spurs 97 - Maccabi Tel Aviv 84

: 3-2

2006: Phoenix Suns 119 - Maccabi Tel Aviv 102

: 4-2

2006: Philadelphia 76ers 85 - CSKA Moscow 71

: 5-2

2007: Minnesota Timberwolves 87 - Efes 81

: 6-2

2007: Toronto Raptors 93 - Virtus Roma 87

: 7-2

2007: Malaga 102 - Memphis Grizzlies 99

: 7-3

2007: Real Madrid 104 - Toronto Raptors 103

: 7-4

2009: Utah Jazz 109 - Real Madrid 87

: 8-4

2010: New York Knicks 125 - Olimpia Milano 113

: 9-4

2010: Barcelona Basquet 92 - Los Angeles Lakers 88

: 9-5

2012: Fenerbahce 97 - Boston Celtics 91

: 9-6

2012: Dallas Mavericks 89 - Alba Berlin 84

: 10-6

2012: Boston Celtics 105 - Olimpia Milano 75

: 11-6

2012: Barcelona Basquet 99 - Dallas Mavericks 85

: 11-7

Obviously, the NBA is incredibly overrated, due to the fact that people pretend that it is way better than the Euroleague, even though it obviously isn't.

It's really only a tad bit better than the Euroleague, and that's all.
