  Which one of these five do you think would have had the best NBA career? And is there another European legend who never played in the NBA that should have made this list?

  Bodiroga somehow managed to make the game of basketball look like it's the simplest and slowest game ever. And then he proceeded to score 30 on you.

  I am the biggest fan of Diamantidis. But. The only player who would be an NBA LEGEND is Galis. That guy was not human. :)

  Bodiroga is on another level. He and Sabonis are the most talented players I've ever seen in Europe. When Stojakovic was averaging 20 points in the NBA, Bodiroga was the star of the national team and Stojakovic was his assistant. That was the level we were at. I think he did the right thing by staying. In the USA, they wouldn't have known how to value him; they wouldn't have given him the reins of a team. In many ways, he was Doncic before Doncic, but it was a different era, and they wouldn't have let him be the franchise player.

  Gallis was another level. The European GOAT himself by far.

  Galis is from another planet. Diamantidis and Papaloukas are exceptional also. Bodironga was one of a kind. Buy nobody aver could touch the amount of talent Nikos Galis has. Even Jordan was astonished when he palyed against him. Galis could have given NBA many things, which it will never have because there is only one Galis.
