In recent years, the NBA has seen an influx of European talent in its top players. Nikola Jokic, Luka Doncic, and Giannis Antetokounmpo are currently considered the most skilled players in the league, with two of the Boston Celtics’ own Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown also among the top 20 talents. It is possible that the Celtics may face Doncic’s Dallas Mavericks in the upcoming NBA Finals.
Former Celtics champions Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce discussed the rise of European talent in the NBA on a recent episode of their podcast “KG Certified.” According to Garnett, Adam Sandler’s movie “Hustle” is proof of how elite European talent has become in the league.
If the Celtics do end up facing off against Doncic’s Mavericks in the Finals, Garnett will be closely watching how coach Joe Mazzulla’s team attempts to contain Doncic and if they can find a way to stop such a potent offensive threat. The full discussion can be watched using the link provided.
