The Lebron era ending with foreign players taking over

[TEH]

Believe it or not this is good


It means that basketball is becoming more international like Soccer etc. The sport is growing and becoming better and you’re complaining. Meanwhile barely anyone outside of this region understands the NFL.

The rest of the world has always had great athletes. Some of those countries just didn’t (and still don't) have the infrastructure to develop the talent of these gifted athletes.

Either way it will still take a while longer for the rest of the world to catch up to and consistently beat an American team that’s been properly put together with the best American talents.

But I'm betting that once the NBA African league is 20 to 30 + years in you'll see a whole new breed of players and it will likely be over for US and European dominance in the sport. Just imagine bunch of players similar to Bam Adebayo playing point-forward and distributing the ball to freak athletic players like Giannis on the wing...

i always found it interesting no african born perimeter players exist

no gawd.play yet

They lack skilled perimeter players but the athletic bigs are already here when you look at Giannis, Adebayo and a few others.

The perimeter players need to be more skilled thus why the infrastructure built to harness and manage and develop the talent will be huge for them. They need to create a basketball culture there just as basketball is part of black american culture. Right now most of their culture is based around football(soccer).

facts i mean mobile bigs been the norm from out that way

bigs can start playing late & still prosper though that's a nono for gawds

no elite gawd is dominating on the perimeter starting late

you gotta have that pill like an extension of your body

Excuses many countries don’t have their best players as well

Slovenia doesn’t have dragic
Spain doesn’t have ibaka
Serbia didn’t make it
Canada didn’t make it
Greece didn’t make it
Lithuania didn’t make it

Slovenia has Dragic, he literally played against Argentina breh
Ibaka hasn't played with Spain for a decade

That's the issue right here. On one hand Americans treat international ball as a glorified summer league that they're too good to take seriously, on the other when they lose a game it's always the same excuse : "Yeah but we didn't have our best guys out there etc ". Literally no one is stopping Americans from sending their best players.

Read my post again breh

I believe I’m saying quite the opposite of what you are thinking.

“that benefits every player including Bron“

WHAT I AM SUGGESTING IS THAT CALLING AN ERA THE LEBRON ERA IN REFERENCE TO RULE/OFFICIATING CHANGES IS SUSPECT IF THOSE CHANGES PRIMARILY AFFECTED OTHERS MORE THAN HIM.

Dumb thread
Sure there's more global talent, but it's not the world vs USA
There isn't a single country that comes close to the USA's talent.

 

[KidJSoul]

But who was Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Trae Young, Zion Williamson, LaMelo Ball, Ja Morant, and more?

 

[Billy Ocean]

KD
Harden
Kyrie
LBJ (still)
Zion
AD
Klay
Dame
Ayton
Tatum
Kawhi

You realize the USA is the 3 biggest country in the world right? Of course no other country alone going have the talent.
