Mario Hezonja adds fuel to the fire: "Playing in the NBA is easier than in Europe"

Mario Hezonja has returned to the NBA this summer after several years with Real Madrid and the Euroleague. The 31-year-old Croatian forward has signed a one-season contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers, and in an interview with “Kos Magazin,” he explained the differences he finds between both competitions.

“Playing in the NBA is, undoubtedly, easier,” he stated. Hezonja believes that Europe has a demanding schedule, but he sees a significant gap in organizational and physical aspects compared to the United States.

As an example, he recalled a game against Dallas when he was still playing in Madrid: “When you see them on the court, you realize they are physically different players.” The Croatian also expressed support for a possible joint league between the NBA and Europe, although he argued that the organization should remain entirely in the hands of the American competition.
