Black Americans run the sport and without them, basketball looks very boring. I've watched some Euro League games and let me just say a regular pick-up game at any neighborhood is more entertaining.

However, the last couple of MVP's have mostly been foreign players. I get why the media has pivoted towards those takes.
While it’s true the last 7 MVPs have been foreign born, in that same timeframe, 4 of the last 7 Finals MVPs have been American

not a coincidence he's popped his head out talking Team USA sports after the major hockey win huh

definitely not damage control from a guy who cares nothing about how people view him or something lol.... this is brand repair 101 man. ride someone else's momentum to fix your own image and play to a crowd that will feel obligated to support you if use a familiar script

i was actually on the fence about if that was his burner or not, but this pretty much confirms it.

edit: and actually if yal were halfway serious about the AAU point, its impossible to discuss it without mentioning how its running the pockets of families who are essentially forced into paid-amateur gatekeeping shenanigans. he's playing in faces rn
He been saying shyt like this a week prior to his burner debacle

KD is talking to the Kobe stans who glaze Luka, Jokic and other Euro cacs over black American athletes. Let’s see what the Mexican, Cacnadian, Jewish and African Mambasexuals have to say now that their boy KD called them out :mjgrin:

about jokic and luka more or less - now he's attached Team USA to it all because that's free positivity to latch onto. and joined (just the fun part) of the AAU dialogue to it all. all momentum no acknowledgements

i'm not even agreeing or disagreeing. im just pointing out brand repair in progress because its 100% planned and by the book and he ain't trying to get CP3'd on his way out.

Funny how AAU is never mentioned when guys like Knueppel or Pritchard come into the league
Colin Cowherd credited Kon and Cooper's skillset to Europe, two dudes that came up in the same grassroots system as all of other elite American hoopers but that would go against the dog whistling narrative that AAU is killing American basketball

Actually he said this during the last 2024 Olympics. It's on that Netflix documentary.

Euro glazing comes from MJ stans and ‘90s dikkriders. They had their moment in ‘04 but haven’t had another one since.

“Yeah Team USA won this year but they’ll be in trouble in 4 years”

EVERY THREAD NO MATTER
THE TOPIC YOU FIND SOME WAY
TO MENTION MJ/90S

DO I HAVE TO BAN THIS ACCOUNT?
