[QUOTE="Obelix, post: 1318767, member: 7292"] You are showing your lack of knowledge even more. The article and discussion specifically referred to European basketball, Turkey in particular, and the salaries and ranges there. That is where Brandon plays. The entire Turkey league is part of European basketball with the top 4 teams part of Euroleague (more than any other country): Fenerbahce (the current Euro champion), Efes (Brandon's team), Durussafaka, and Galatasaray. That was the discussion and figures on salaries about. You further show your lack of knowledge on international basketball, by trying to backtrack so fast in your statement saying that you meant to include other leagues in addition to European leagues, including the "Russian and Slovakian leagues." For your information, both the Russian leagues and Slovakian leagues are part of European basketball. The Russian league actually has some of the highest budgets for both Americans and international players, led by CSKA (the top budget outside the NBA, over $40M), with their top two stars, both [B]international[/B], and among the highest paid in Europe (more than the Americans on the team): Nando De Colo and Milos Teodosic. So your statement that: it also wrong in Russia and Slovakia, both part of European basketball. So maybe you just meant Iraq, or Zimbabwe basketball, but that would have nothing to do with the discussion at hand, which referenced salary figures in Turkey, and Brandon's team in Euroleague (Efes). And yes, I do know because I played and lived in Europe for quite some time. So try again, maybe you now want to state that you just meant Iraq and Zimbabwe, but you are backtracking faster than Bill Self's toupee in a hurricane. [/QUOTE]
