The defense in Europe is HORRIBLE. Absolutely ATROCIOUS defense.
On the second video, take a look at 1:40-1:45............
Ricky Rubio is NOT Allen Iverson, WTF do you have all of your eyes on him for?
Such a sequence happened twice or three times in that video. It will NOT happen in the NBA. There's no solid defensive team that's going to treat Rubio like a hall of famer.
Then at like 3:35-3:40, Rubio makes a cross-court pass. Instead of trying to guard the player recieving the pass, they tried to steal the pass. Okay, especially since you had 2 men down there
But they didn't deflect the pass, they didn't come close. Their arms were like freaking pads trying to hit a tennis ball not a basketball. PATHETIC. Because of their half-assed attempt at "defense", Rubio got an easy assist for 2.
The big men in Europe are equally as inept, CLOSE-OUT. Bigs jobs are to close out and protect the paint. Playoff-winning coaches like Jim O'Brien and Larry Brown preached it.
Larry went to the NBA Finals with DEKE, Wallace Brothers. Phil won 4 NBA titles with Shaquille O'Neal, Pao Gasol and Andrew Bynum.
The bigs let Rubio get lay-up after lay-up and there's no rotation whatsoever.
Take a look at 5:01..................
The defender is communicating to the man BEHIND him, when you know Ricky's ahead of you?
The difference in levels between Europe and College are overwhelming(See:Brandon Jennings LACK of development). Europe and the NBA?
Ricky Rubio's been handled with gloves. People say "Rubio held his own with the USA"
'Get used to that, he's an average NBA level player.

You're one of my favourite poster, with a great sense of humor, but dude... You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, when it comes to Ricky Rubio.
