Parker, the No. 2 overall pick of the 2014 Draft, played 321 games in the NBA over eight seasons before moving overseas for the first time in his career last summer to join powerhouse Barcelona in Spain. He made 11 playoff appearances with the Milwaukee Bucks in 2018 and the Boston Celtics in 2021. “So far the games have been a lot closer,” Parker said when Eurohoops asked him to compare the playoffs in the NBA and the EuroLeague. “A lot of times in a Game 4 or Game 3 whatever, you’ll get blowouts because of homecourt advantage. But even when they played us at Barca the games were very close. And that’s the level of competition. Everybody can play, everybody is smart and very strategic. European basketball is great basketball. -via EuroHoops.net / May 1, 2024
