After five years in the NBA, Brian Roberts got back in EuroLeague for Olympiacos Piraeus. And it feels to him like playing at a similarly competitive level.
“I felt that is a good opportunity for me to come over play at basically an… NBA level,” Roberts told Eurohoops. “That’s how I feel about where Olympiacos plays at.”
After all, the gap between the NBA and EuroLeague is indeed getting smaller and smaller, according to the American guard. “NBA teams seeing how good basketball here is. They are signing players to come and play right away,” said Roberts.
“The talent level is getting closer to the NBA. Not right there yet. But definitely closer,” added the new Olympiacos floor general.
