Considering that was an official eurobasket bit of reporting, the whole article was terrible and narrow minded.
The whole Mediterranean League dig was really bad aswell, the area those lands cover is ENORMOUS. It is where some of the greatest wealth + good weather conditions are to be found which ofcourse would result in basketball being adopted around those areas. These teams have a head start compared to some Russians or whatever because they can walk out of there house and go to the court everyday!

What happened to the clubs from Slovakia, United Kingdom, Finland, Sweden, Portugal, Belarus, Iceland, etc.?
They are not maybe the reachest clubs in Europe, but have very decent leagues with professional players and should have a chance to participate in one of European cups.

Woahhhh this dude gets worst! I can only speak about the United Kingdom but we had our shot, everyone will remember the Guildford Heat making the Euroleague and getting dominated in the process. The minnow nations he mentioned have a long way to go in terms of producing homegrown talent/attracting quality foreign players to the league.
How can people be paid to write such drivvle?
