2021-2022 AROUND the NBA: GSW Champs [ARCHIVED]

But what you describe is mostly match day pressure by paying "emotional in the moment" customers in the stadium in Europe, which is 1-3 times a week. Europe simply does not have the insane amount of BS artist media that do nothing else, but bully and harrass players publically at every opportunity without any substance. The abuse Westbrook receives through the media is utterly absurd. If you acted like that toward colleagues in a real job, you´d be fired five times over. Assholes like Bayless, SAS or the whole Twitter brigade are getting paid millions to be professional trolls. That culture simply does not exist in European sports.

On the flip side, European players aren't being paid $30-40M per year to play. Average Premier League salary is $3.9M while the NBA is $7.9M. They are all still people, but they are very highly paid people, who when it comes to basketball, haven't been told "no" a lot. I imagine the people that sit close enough for the players to hear what they're saying haven't been told "no" a lot in their lives as well.
