BasketNews, maybe you could do a video on why so many American players only last a few games or a season with each European team. Like, Magic Johnson and Scottie Pippen playing only two games with a squad.
Roy Tarpley RIP (Dallas) had huge career in Europe (Aris-Olympiakos), Byron Scott, Scot Skyles and Last but not least Eddie Johnson...fast Eddie - 1 year 1994-1995 Olympiakos instant Success he event went back to NBA in his top shape (his words) and helped rockets play WCF
Byron Scott (1 season panathinaikos Greece), John Salley (7 games panathinaikos Greece), Josh Childress (2 seasons olympiacos Greece), Trajan Langdon (CSKA Moscow and more teams in Europe), Greg Monroe (Bayern Munich Germany), Scott Skyles (1 season PAOK Greece), Roy Tarplay (3 seasons in Greece and 1 in Cyprus) Kemba Walker (Monaco France), Kevin Porter Jr. (PAOK Greece)
Bill Laimbeer had also one year in Italy after college. Kurt Rambis, à key Lakers défensive player, won his first title in Greece in Aek. Spud Webb also played in Verona
Sugar Ray Richardson unbelievable carrier and fantastic plays with k,nor Bolognia for sure 4 time all star in NBA within top 5 Americans ever played in Europe...other ideas Roy Tarpley with Olympiacos...Xavier Mc Daniel with Heraklis Greece..Byron Scott with Panathinaikos....Eddie Johnson with Olympiacos...
@@patman147 Gotta thank tom for coming to play in Israel , in retrospective , he was the reason i started to play basketball . as an 13 yearold - the hype of his arrival made me dump soccer and totally switch to basketball , joined a team and everything
Adrian Dantley ( I don't remember the team) and Alex English ( Napoli Baket) played in Italy for a short time , Kenny "Sky" Walker also played in Italy. Artis Gilmore played for Fortitudo Bologna
Dominique was very succesful and its by far the best player ever played in europe, after the first europian panathinaikos took with him we created a dynasty and won 5 more. He played a normal season not clown for money games. Thats for the fans to know the truth
Thurl Bailey, played for the Jazz, played in Europe, then came back and finished with the Jazz. I believe he was pretty good in Europe. I went to college with Lou Roe, he got drafted in NBA, but soon went to Span and played for over 10 years.
Your research is not complete!!! Mário Elie, two time NBA Championship by the rockets , played in Ovarense (portuguese club) and he become a portuguese Championship in 1989.
magic, pippen and rodman have no place in the list as they didn't actually play., No 1 is Bod MacAdoo by far and Roy Tarpley in the most talented together with sugar ray....you have to revisit your list
I have to say some big NBA names that have played at least in Greece: John Salley Reggie Theus Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf Tony Delk Xavier McDaniel Jeff Malone Byron Scott Roy Tarpley Antoine Carr Kurt Rumbis Audie Norris Mitchell Wiggins
Need to mention Purvis Short (played for Hapoel Tel Aviv) and Mike Mitchel (Maccabi), RIP, that had a better NBA career than many of the mentioned players
The list does not make any sense, without any criteria mixing exhibition matches with unknown teams and players who have really competed in Europe like McAdoo or Dominique.
Going thru the comments 1 player that hasn’t been mentioned is Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf aka chris Jackson, I totally agree with all the comments made but I feel like this guy has been left off the list as he played in Israel, the same league that amare stoudemire played in by memory
Dominique Wilkings in my opinion is the American player who played the best basketball in Europe, I mean not just coming here in order to retire... And all these thanks to the greatest president of Panathinaikos (may God rest his soul) Pavlos Giannakopoulos...
Pippen rodman και magic θα έλεγα δεν έπρεπε να είναι στη λίστα διότι μάλλον συμμετείχαν σε παιχνίδια επίδειξης παρά κανονικά Λείπει ο Eddie Johnson και ο Byron Scott. Για μένα νο 1 σαν όνομα και καριέρα αλλά και πορεία τόσο στο ΝΒΑ όσο και στην Ευρώπη είναι ο bob McAdoo
Well... not as much a star, but Kenny "Sky" Walker was the 5th pick of the 1986 draft, who won the 1989 slam dunk contest, and played in Spain and Italy before he was 30. Also argentinian Ginobili played in Italy before going to the USA.
ROY TARPLAY,DAVID RIVERS,EDDIE JOHNSON,WALTER BERRY, ALFONSO FORD ,BYRON DINKIGS AND MANY OTHERS THAT I DON,T REMEMBER OR KNOW CAME TO EUROPE AND ENJOYED PLAYiNG AND WINNING CHAMPIONSHIPS
Most of these players you put they didn't had impact or they played for very few games,so it doesn't make sense to put them in the list. No 1 player to should be Bob McAdoo Then Dominique
Petrovic....he had signed with panathinaikos before...well, you know... i know he technically never returned to europe, but if you can put magic, pipen and rodman for playing 1 or 2 games on shit teams, might as well put Petrovic :)

@@drainovano2244 McAdoo what??Hold my beer please.Domi the best player ever step hes foot in European Basketball.
@@PaoFootballClub Was Wilkins the NBA champion or the NBA MVP or the NBA scoring leader? I don't think so. McAdoo clears.
Eddie Johnson with 19.202 NBA points I think he deserve to be on the list.
