Making the Team · What It REALLY Takes to Play Professional Basketball | Zac Seljaas · 9 Aug 2026 podcast

And I have some questions about like the logistics of uh overseas basketball.

Yeah.

Uh but first is how did how does the actual basketball game itself differ overseas, not just the league structures, but like on the court game?

Um still like in the cylinder, you can knock the ball off.

Um travel calls are a little bit different.

And um so does that kind of lend itself to you might have a game with forty and then the next game you have a game with four?

Like if if if you're the mismatch, they're gonna give it to you.

And if you're not, then you kind of definitely feed the mismatch.

Is there as much flopping in Europe basketball as there is in the NBA?

Parker had mentioned too that it's at least in his Europe experience, the referees themselves, you almost have to like earn their respect to get calls.

And once you've earned their respect, then they'll give you some calls.

But if you haven't yet, they're just not giving you anything.

Do you think that your personal style has helped you with that?

I mean, with the mullet and with like the look and like your personality, do you think that's helped you kind of get more ingrained in the European system for

Not that you did it for that reason, but like are there some ancillary benefits to it?

That's awesome.

I lived in uh Eastern Europe for a while and it's a thing that I grew to appreciate is they are so direct of like if you don't speak the language well they'll they would say, I don't understand you.

Do you speak better?

And they just turn to the guy next to you, right?

And so there's a level of directness that I think in America it's perceived as rude, but when you're used to it it's just very direct and hey, I don't like your hair or I do like your hair and you know that they mean it.
