For the first time in NBA history, the top 3 players are arguably internationally born. How do you feel about this?

Gianni’s, Luka, Jokic

While there’s clearly an agenda being pushed(there’s no way Jokic should have won mvp over Joel) you cannot deny the changing of the guard.

If the NBA is defined by eras, then what do we name this one?

Unlike previous eras, which were defined by Michael Jordan and “who is the next Michael Jordan”, this might be the first time in a long time where the conversation will finally shift to something else.

Watching these dudes ball internationally this summer been fun.

Luka and Jokic are top 3 based on what impact?

Repeat that question to yourself out loud and see if it makes sense.

I also said arguably.

To even question their impact is crazy lol

It was bound to happen eventually
Looking at aau and how kids play over here compared to them at the same age

Some of them nikkas be professionals at like 15 16 playing wit veterans

So doesn’t surprise me one bit
Suprised it took this long tbh

I didn’t know KD was born overseas

Lebron was born in Akron, Germany?


Giannis is top 3. That about it.

Just say you didn’t think this one through and stop trying to save face

I agree with your Luka take. However, Jokic is clearly a top 3 player. It's undeniable at this point. 2 straight MVPs. Breaking all-time records. Durant is not better than Jokic at the moment. KD was getting shut down in the playoffs while Jokic always goes off in the playoffs.

Luka and Jokic are not top 3

 

[staticshock]

Luka & Jokic

Giannis
KD
Embiid
Curry
Bron
Kawhi (when healthy)
AD (when healthy)


Then maybe Luka & Jokic. Hell I’d take KAT over Jokic

Yall need to let KD go. Best in the world but his team was the only one that got swept

 

[In The Zone '98]

They were bound to birth a few great players eventually.

12/13 of the 15 All NBA slots are usually American.

Majority of them will be role players. Majority of Americans will be the all time greats.

Jokic goes off in the playoffs to where? Give me Giannis Steph and KD over him any day.

euros turn pro as soon as they hit puberty

the system is working

the overwhelming majority of talent is still born stateside though

Good!

The more global the NBA is, the better off the league will be.

The denial in this thread. Your team would trade their best player for any of those 3 in a heartbeat
