87. The Real Reason Talented Players Don't Survive Their First Year Pro with Rob Crawford
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Most players transition to professional basketball without ever being told what actually changes — the pace, the tactics, the culture, and what teams overseas are really asking of you. In this conversation, Obi and Rob get into the gap between American and European basketball, and why so many talented players don't survive their first year abroad.
They also break down the real differences between European and South American play styles, what youth players need to prioritize now to be ready for the next level, and why the ability to stop somebody will always come before the ability to score.
