Draymond Green asks if scoring in the NBA is easier than in Europe, as Luka Dončić claims. Speaker B agrees partly: Europe calls fewer fouls, has no defensive three-second rule, and plays 40-minute games instead of 48, which lowers scoring. He scored more points in EuroBasket than in the NBA.

Luka made a comment where he said scoring in the NBA is way easier than scoring in Europe. Do you carry that same sentiment?
Partially, yeah. I think just what I noticed this summer, for example, in EuroBasket, obviously I didn't play EuroLeague, just definitely not getting the same foul calls that I am in the NBA. No defensive 3 seconds, obviously shorter game clock, only 40-minute games. So I think that affects on like points per game averages already. Just, so yeah, I would probably agree. It's a different game. Like you have one, a superstar on a European team. And, like, obviously Janis is a great player, superstar. And I was watching what Czech Republic was doing to Greece this summer, and they were literally 5 guys in the paint because there was no 3-second rule. So that definitely affects that. And I still scored more in EuroBasket than I scored in the NBA. So I don't know if it's completely true, but yeah, definitely he's on something.
