About this listen
Is European basketball actually better than the NBA right now?
On this episode of Full court Passport, longtime NBA analyst Ric Bucher and former NBA forward Bostjan Nachbar are joined by David Kahn, the only American executive to run an NBA franchise and build a winning EuroLeague club from scratch.
Kahn pulls no punches on:
- Why EuroLeague intensity surpasses the NBA
- Why Paris Basketball plays faster than almost anyone in Europe
- The cultural gap between NBA entertainment and EuroLeague fandom
- What an NBA-backed league in Europe has to get right — or it will fail
This is a masterclass on global basketball, roster strategy, and why the future of the sport may be tilting east.
