What's with the assumption that NBA automatically = selfish non team play? Some of the coaches in the NBA have some very interesting and sophisticated strategies used to win ball games.

It also has to do with the type of players on the court. If you had someone like Kobe or AI, you'd be foolish not to use him more.

Speaking of Kobe, take a look at the triangle offense (not executed well this season thoough), take a look at the Kings Princeton offense, Pistons, NJN- still most teams in the NBA do play as a team very well, both on defense and offense. The whole FIBA or Euroleague having better team play is a misconception- just because a team focuses their offense on one or two players doesn't make it a not a team game. It's a team game with a different strategy.
