The Flagg shyt is pretty telling the whole oh he plays like a euro thats why he is so good :what:

When I see Flagg I see shades of young Bron, Pippen, G-Hill, Tatum

I don’t see a Euro game at all

I just came in here to say I bet this dude has come to practice without brushing his teeth. Who will be the first player to speak out?

If Europe was a country instead of like 50 separate countries or if they played like that Ryders Cup thing it might've been an interesting convo. But it's not so the convo is not really interesting.

That Serbia a country of like 5 million, should challenge the US does not make sense. Or France where basketball doesn't even rank top 5 I believe.


I think Canada, black Canada, might be the most interesting competitor. But that's probably not on the basis of having better players, it would be coaching, team dynamics, crowd, injuries and luck (i.e. not being series but just 1 game and you're out). I.e. Olympics 2004. But Olympics is in LA 28, so we'll have to wait until 2032 :flabbynsick:

Exactly. nikkas leave this shyt out completely and its hilarious. US still king but European players as a whole have definitely closed the gap and we see it in the current NBA. They can't consistently compete in international play because the player pools for each individual country is small.


Kobe one of the main ones for these talking points with his pro-European, anti-AAU, and “accidental basketball” pretentious bullshyt…

USA continues to win Golds in every age range despite teams being thrown together while foreign teams take every cup to heart and have guys growing up playing together
corny ass comment.

why do they treat Kobe as if his word was law? he was wrong as hell when he said that shyt too, it's wild how whenever these conversations get brought up they never mention how our youth teams(under 19 and below) are completely dominating international comp. The most recent U19 team in 2025 didn't even have all of the top freshmen on it(no Boozer/Peterson/Wilson/Acuff) and they still destroyed everybody except Canada and they still beat them too. You can already tell what type of person JWill is with "racist victimhood mentality" bs.
