Why EuroLeague’s GOAT Scorer Failed In The NBA

Спорт

Mike James just became the EuroLeague's all time leading scorer. Mike James is the greatest american player to ever play overseas, but why did Mike James fail in the NBA? What happened to Mike James in the NBA and why is the EuroLeague's GOAT scorer not on an NBA team? The Brooklyn Nets, New Orleans Pelicans and Phoenix Suns all waived Mike James. But why?

    Haha agreed: Better than Curry. In what year did Mike score the EU equivalent of 402 3pt in one season? I think not I looked it up Curry is 4,5 made 3pt per game at ~41% Mike J is 2.6 3pt per game at 40% He is half as good as Curry, but since it is not a linear scale this means he is about 1000? times less good than Curry ❤

    If the NBA tripled the length of its regular season, and someone then broke LeBron's scoring record, videos talking about it would definitely point that out and also how no one really cares about the record anymore because of that. It's the same case here with this record for EuroLeague and that should have been explained in the video. The video didn't make clear the difference in the amount of games the league plays. They just said he did it in less games than Spanoulis, which is true. What they left out is the regular season was 10 games long during almost all of the career of Spanoulis, while it is 34 games long during almost all of the career of James. So if they did not extend the regular season, it would have taken James many more years to come near the record, no matter what his average was, because he never would have made it to enough games played to break the record. Because when the regular season was 10 games long (Spanoulis era), you couldn't play more games unless your team advanced and James played on plenty of teams that weren't any good and would not have advanced. James is guaranteed at least 34 games every season now. So basically, if the regular season had not been extended, the chance that James would have ever broken this scoring record was virtually 0%. It was only broken because they changed the league's format and games played rules. The video really should have specified that. Since the league changed the regular season from 10 games to 34 games, the truth is no one in Europe really cares about the EuroLeague records anymore, as they are all being broken, just because of the change in games played. The video made it seem like this record was a big deal, but in reality, no one cares, and the EuroLeague records have lost all meaning because of that change to the number of games played.

But bc of the talent in the NBA it’s a lot harder to double team and leave others open bc everyone can shoot.

La lakers in their championship year with Kobe Bryant lost a game to euroleague team back then and that team was up like 20 points. Even if you are the goat teamplay beats you when you have a shitty team and nba is lacking of it so yeah scoring in nba is easier than the euroleague.

    ​@abdiomar6987 He never got the chance or freedom he would need. Look at what happened to Micić after being traded and getting freedom. Coach didnt believe in him, and that's the worst thing that can happen to you. He played over 20 minutes only 2 games, and scored 13 points in both, now his last game he shot horribly (1/7) but shot 11/12 from the FT line, and in the first game he shot 4/9 which is not horrible. It's a process of adapting to a different kind of basketball. Look at Jokic, in his NBA debut he had 2 points and was a backup for Jusuf Nurkić, but Malone believed in him, he saw something in him, and now he is a 2x MVP and won Denver its first ever ring ofc being named a FMVP. If Kill Bill got a chance in 1 more season, getting time to adapt, he would have been much better. (Not saying he would have been as good as in Euroleague, but better than he was for sure).

    Just to clarify, Mike James was never the Greek League MVP. He was the Greek League finals MVP 2 times, but never the overall league MVP. Also, as far as Mike James being the EuroLeague GOAT if he wins 1 EuroLeague championship...no. No disrespect to Mike James at all, as he is a really, really good EuroLeague player. But there is no way he is even remotely close to being in the EuroLeague GOAT discussion with winning just 1 EuroLeague championship, if he is able to do so at some point. That does not even put him in the GOAT conversation at all. 1 EuroLeague title is nowhere near enough to be compared to modern EuroLeague players like: Vassilis Spanoulis Dejan Bodiroga Dimitris Diamantidis Sarunas Jasikevicius or also guys like: Juan Carlos Navarro Antoine Rigaudeau Theo Papaloukas Vasilje Micic Nando De Colo Ramunas Siskauskas If he won 1 EuroLeague title, James is still far away from Spanoulis for the GOAT discussions (not even close), or also Bodiroga, or also Diamantidis and Jasikevicius. In all honesty, Mike James isn't even as high on the EuroLeague GOAT ladder as players like: Sergio Llull Milos Teodosic Anthony Parker Sergio Rodriguez Then you have FIBA era EuroLeague players, and also Mike James is not as high as many of them for GOAT discussions either, like: Janis Krumins Emiliano Rodriguez Clifford Luyk Sergey Belov Wayne Brabender Bob Morse Manolo Raga Dino Meneghin Walter Szczerbiak Miki Berkovich Antonello Riva Epi Drazen Petrovic Bob McAdoo Nikos Galis Dino Radja Toni Kukoc Sasha Danilovic Sasha Djordjevic Panagiotis Giannakis Arvydas Sabonis This doesn't even mention players like: Radivoj Korac Drazen Dalipagic Kresmir Cosic Mirza Delibasic Dragan Kicanovic Ivo Daneu Zarko Paspalj Ibrahim Kutluay Carlton Myers Petar Naumoski Nikos Oikonomou Zeljko Rebraca etc. If we limit it to JUST American players, even then Mike James is not the GOAT American EuroLeague player. As players like: Anthony Parker Shane Larkin would be higher than him on the EuroLeague GOAT ladder for modern players, with guys like: Alphonso Ford Mike Batiste Trajan Langdon Kyle Hines JR Holden also in such a discussion. If we include the FIBA era Americans, then Mike James is also behind a whole bunch of other Americans on the GOAT ladder, like: Clifford Luyk Wayne Brabender Bob Morse Walt Szczerbiak Tal Brody Lou Silver Jim Boatwright Audie Norris Nikos Galis Joe Arlauckas David Rivers Tyus Edney In all honesty, while Mike James has had a really good EuroLeague career, he's not even remotely close to being in the EuroLeague GOAT discussion right now. Maybe IF he wins the EuroLeague MVP this season, AND the EuroLeague championship AND EuroLeague Final Four MVP this season, THEN maybe we can talk about maybe putting him in EuroLeague Top 30 all-time discussions. It's actually insulting and outrageous to so many previous EuroLeague great players that all of these Mike James EuroLeague GOAT videos are popping up everywhere. If we put it in terms of an NBA equivalency, putting Mike James in the EuroLeague GOAT conversation is basically the equivalent of saying Demar Derozan is in the NBA GOAT conversation.

    The reason you don't see many people having 4.400 career Euroleague points, is because all the great scorers already declared and went to the NBA. Mike James was simply not good enough for the NBA, no other way around it. He couldn't defend a cone, his three wasn't falling and NBA defenders were too big/long/strong and bullied him. I literally watched every single one of his games as a Net.

    I honestly think you basketball fans come up with every excuse in the book for who don't make it NBA. Bro, even if Mike was waved, he was clearly NBA level. Especially with the caliber of mediocre (below average to average) players who are currently in the NBA today. There are many NBA caliber talents who haven't been accepted into the NBA simply because they weren't given the opportunity. Plus, even if you consider Mike James not that athletic & D3 league level. The fact that he managed to have success in the NBA for his short stint is amazing.

    @@terqia6438 He has NBA-level talent. But he is only an offensive minded player, with no defensive tools and unable to score efficiently against NBA-level defenders. Most mediocre/below average players are on rookie deals, and will not get another contract. Mike is too old for that, so it's nearly impossible for him to have a career in the NBA right now. All those "below average dudes" are based on potential. We have seen the best version of Mike, and it is not good enough.

    Great to see you uploading! I am a Suns fan so I saw him play back with that team. The offensive system was bad, the coaching staff was allergic to in-game adjustments, the GM wanted to tank, the players were mostly non-NBA caliber and were looking to get-theirs, and it's tough to get any sort of rhythm going in such brief opportunity. It was a shame to see him get waived. If he wanted to stick it out in the US, I am certain he would have been a good player.

    I definitely see some of the similarities between james and vanfleet. I would even go as far as to say james is a better pure athlete. I think the thing for me though is that fred does a lot of those sneaky little things on defense that make him a more reliable asset when he is at his best, and like you where saying james has a much more iso heavy game and fred is better at operating off ball efficiently. I dont see myself in almost any situation taking a james over vanfleet though. I think another interesting topic would be asking what a prime fred would look like in the euro league. I'm not so sure he would end up being the all time scoring leader, but because of his tool set there is a chance he would have more team success at the highest level. idk it is what it is, good vid.

In order for them to be effective, you need a specific team and a specific time to use them. This can be a problem for multiple teams, which is why they end up out of the rotation. Then, to make it worse, totally lacks defense...a BIG no no. Undersized,uneficient,overly iso-scoring+ no defense guard .

No team needs that. That’s not the role. FVV is a very good defender. James ain’t. It’s that simple. Proof needed? Markus Howard coud barely get off the bench. Now he is All Liga ACB. Lastly, if you think a city/country of 40k is better than any U.S. city you’re WAY high.
