Why do some nba players can't digest the fact that NBA is now ruled by European superstars? I just listened Arenas and Kenyon Martin debating whether Luka is the best player on the Mavs. (alien.top)

I know Espn 100 is wack. But I would rather let them vote for top 100 than these clown experts who think just because they played the game their opinion somehow weighs higher. Most of these former (especially veteran) players just keep on hating the European players and try to minimise their game by saying that the game has gone soft. Its just ridiculous they can't give them their flowers.

I haven't (and will not) listen but considering they must be debating vs Kyrie, if the last few years have shown is that the players have way higher regard for Kyrie than virtually everyone else. He can do things they can't in a way that few guys can. Sure, Luka is unquestionably better, but Kyrie can make certain plays that basically no one else can, and that resonates with NBA guys more than "stats" and "showing up to your team facility"

I know Kyrie is probably the best one on one player. But the game is played 5 on 5 and tends to favour the longer and powerful player.

Luka would stomp Kyrie in one on one though. Just a superior basketball player in almost every facet except for cool dribbles and sick layups.
