I never watch basketball and am very curious how much skill disparity exists in other leagues when compared to the NBA. I have a great understanding of football; so I was wondering what some apt comparisons are.
Also, opinions aside, let’s just say Premier League is the basis of comparison and not necessarily saying that it is the best league in the world.
Other top soccer leagues around would also be equivalent to the NBA. They are top level leagues.
For a comparison to soccer:
US college basketball is like the Champions league
FIBA is like league one.
foreign domestic leagues like the French, Australian, or Chinese basketball leagues are like league two.
