This where we are falling short as American hoopers

now that the game has become international athleticism isn't the end all be all.

Most of these international hooper come from sports foundations/cultures highly influenced by SOCCER.

A sport that emphasizes skill over athletisism...

Its why Embed,Joker, SGA, Luka ect... can all dominate without being siper fast or being able to jump super high...

American basketball needs to let the AAU bullshyt go and start ACADEMIES

You have to understand that the NBA is reffed and legislated in a way that caters to Euro play... They have been working towards this for at least 20 years.... There is a reason that American pro players could put a team together at the 25th hour and dogwalk Euro players for the last 3 decades....

90s game :dead:

his right to left crossover alone would have most 90s players baffled. He’d be top 2 in the 90s at worst, 1 @ best. yall gotta stop :dead:


If ant moved to rhe one.
Ant could be great.
out the time machine in the nineties.

Yet ant is to short to generally succeed in the 90.
platooned at the two guard.
including having a lesser draft position pedigree of number one. possibly if drafted as a combo guard. As well as possibly fail in the nineties. Being undersized for the physicslity at the two out the time machine in the 90's.

Ant will continue to get better but at the end of the day it’s different being a dominant scorer and PG at 6’6 than being a dominant scorer and SG at 6’4.

SGAs team is better. They arent playing 1 on 1. shyt Ant be looking like he goin 1 on 5 at times, especially in game 1. OKC isnt rolling 35-40 yr olds or nikkas uninterested in playing D out there. They full of young athletic dudes. So the advantage Minny had in previous series is gone. In the modern league, more than ever if a team can focus on you and only you, you are gonna struggle teamwise and individually. This aint a referendum on Ant or how good he is or will be. We gonna act like we aint just see Jokic get shut down in a game 7? This aint Bel Air Prep or Space Jam. One dude cant just will his team to victory when the other squad is just better. With modern rules it that much harder to go out and get yours in a losing effort.
