for years, the nba has been dominated by american players, but over the past few years, the rise of european superstars is reshaping the league. many of these players didn’t emerge out of nowhere; they followed a path to the league that was paved by those who came before them. from the true unicorn ability of arvydas sabonis to the unstoppable fadeaway from dirk nowitzki, and now to the overwhelming consistency of jokic. in the nba, nothing has been more remarkable to witness than the ascent of the european big. from their impeccable fundamentals, capacity to stretch defenses, prowess in shooting the 3, adept ball-handling skills, and ability to run the offense, the european big has revolutionized the center and power forward positions. —————————————————————————————- #nbabasketball #nikolajokić #giannisantetoukoumpo #victorwembanyama #dirknowitzki41
