First of all, sounds like you had an awesome career. Fantastic!
Second, I don't really agree with you about the more all-round thing, judging solely from the Euro players in the NBA. Big guys cannot really handle the ball very well, at least not any better than their US counterparts.

All the European centers I can think of playing right now are
Diaw Mahinmi Krstic Milicic Biedrins Petro Turiaf Pachulia Koufos Big Z Pecovic Elson Gadzuric

None of them strike me as great ball handlers or able to play forward very well, except for Diaw. Maybe they do and can in the European leagues because the defense is not as strong. I don't know. But I disagree with people who make the point about European players being more well-rounded or having more basketball smarts. I think what they are seeing is that European basketball is much much slower than American basketball and much less creative. I'm not trying to bag on European hoops. I loved playing there- pickup and organized- and I think Sabonis is probably the greatest center ever (except maybe Wilt). Now, he was a truly well-rounded basketball player.

Scola, Ajinça, Bargnani, ... (those are more centers than Diaw so i will count them) ; I know Scola is Argentinian but considering his pre-NBA career, he should be included; Scola has the best inside game in the league

Bargnani- Doh! How did I forget him? He is exactly the kind of player the Dutch poster was talking about. He is a great player, at least when his team has the ball.

Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.

Amir Johnson sucks

Now is really fixed.
Seriously man,Bargs in Tor is required to do what he is not capable to do,he is not able to play help defence(he is not too bad on m2m def) and rebound,he should have a defensive and rebounding center near to him...and that's just stupid from toronto management

Amir does not suck... considering minutes he's playing he puts up solid numbers...
So what a 7 footer is supposed to do?stand by 3 point line and jack shots? 4.9 rebounds average doesnt help either...
Toronto has no future with him...

Everybody put the attention on Bargs's mistake because people suppose he should be the franchise player of the Raptors...he wasn't the franchise player in Benetton Treviso,why he should be it in Toronto?
Excepting maybe Davis,all the other Raptors sucks on defence,but the attention is only on Bargs also if every action Barbosa,Calderon,Derozan,Johnson are blown up on defence.At least Bargs can score...
A team with him as cornerstone doesn't have future,but he can be a great second/third option in a good team

I love his offensive skills. He needs only Rodman or Wilt beside.
