Patrick Beverley: You could swap role players in the NBA and Euroleague and nobody would know the difference

“Besides Steph Currys, LeBron James, KDs, Luka Doncics, Jayson Tatums, and Jaylen Browns, I’m talking about the role players and the players right above role players. If you took those guys and just swapped them out, and no one knew who their name was on the back of the jersey, you couldn’t tell the difference,” Beverley stressed. “The guys [in Europe] know how to play the right way. They play extremely hard; it’s built on a team game. They understand the game and know how to play the game. I’m talking about some of the greatest minds I have ever seen people have. “Theodoros Papaloukas, who was a magician with the ball. Milos Teodosic, EuroLeague MVP, a guy, who was a magician with the ball,” he praised his former teammates at Olympiacos. “Not just smart on the court, but intelligent in life and show you things on the court that you’d be, ‘Damn, I didn’t even see that.’
