After the end of the Final Four, the George Bartzokas had made an interesting statement, stressing that European basketball has a problem with regard to the lack of native talent.
Another Euroleague coach, Mr Sergio Scariolostood on the subject, stressing that indeed what his coach said Olympiakou they have a large base.
In detail what he said:
“It is an objective fact, not an opinion. The’re is no doubt. We all agree. Not that George didn’t make an interesting statement, but because we all know it. It’s a serious problem.
As soon as it is possible to play with native status without having been born or trained in a certain place, players with two, three or four seasons – depending on the country – emerge in the youth divisions. They usually don’t have that love and attachment to the group, the ability to inherit values ​​and pass them on.
When a team has a core of native players, it has a dedication and a sense of belonging, a will to make more effort and sacrifice superior to others. Of course, you can get there in other ways, but it helps if you have the natives.”
