It’s an old subject in the world of basketball: could the best European teams make the playoffs in the NBA? The question comes up often and Jabari Parker recently put a piece back in the jukebox.
For what ? Because the former Milwaukee player, hampered by injuries during his seasons in the league, signed with FC Barcelona last month.
“Clearly,” he replies, when asked if his new team could be competitive in the NBA, for Mundo Deportivo. “Because we have three important players who have been in the NBA. Tomas Satoransky, Willy Hernangomez and myself. We also have experience, because we have been professionals for a long time. »
What does his former teammate, in Washington and Chicago, Bobby Portis, think about these comments? “That’s his opinion. I really like his comment »delivers the Team USA player to Eurohoops. “This boy has enormous talent and confidence. I have nothing negative to say about him. »
If he mentions the NBA, via the level of play of his new team, it is because Jabari Parker does not forget him. He signed for a year with the reigning Spanish champion and still hopes to return home, to resume a career that has so far been frustrating due to his injuries and his limitations in defense.
“I want to be there, but the most important thing is not to skip ahead. I signed in Spain with the desire to give everything. This is an important moment for me. More than anything, I want to win. »
