Bird grew up in an era where white players got zero respect and you were almost ashamed to try and play basketball.
European players never had that hang up because they didn't grow up with the stigma in America that White Men Can't Jump.
They just balled.
Drazen Petrovic, etc...it's no wonder that the teams that gave the US the most difficult battles in international competition were Eastern Europeans. They didn't kow-tow to prejudice and didn't grow up in an social world which discouraged them from playing because they were white. That's why the biggest white stars in the NBA the last 25 years were International guys...they didn't buy into we can't play while white players in America were basically told you can't play...maybe you can shoot a long ball 3 and that's about it.
Blame American youth sports for this as well. Coaches and parents encourage kids to participate in "racially appropriate" sports or positions. This also occurs in football. Fast white players are moved to slot receiver when they could just as easily play cornerback.
There is also the poverty aspect. Eastern European white basketball players often grow up in conditions similar to worse than American inner cities. Poor education and economic opportunities. Like in American inner cities basketball for them is often the only way out (Larry Bird also grew up extremely poor FWIW).
