Is this a troll post? You cant be serious lol.

I dont care how many Africans on the continent pick up the sport. Just like Boxing, the best Black players/fighters will always be American

All those players you named will never be a Jordan/Lebron/Kobe/Durant type player

Steph Curry is not biracial lmao wtf

talk to em


and this is irrefutable facts foreign brehs

Soccer. Flair and spontaneity are two things Africans love, regardless of where they may be.African, carribean and afro-south american soccer players being more eccentric and skillful has little to do with rebellion but more with their nature.Their approach to the game is directly opposite to the European emphasis on efficiency and results, which robs the game of its skill most times.

then what's taking so long with the NBA and skill players

where are the African Kyries, Stephs, Dames, PGs, Ja Morants, etc???

African brehs been in the league a minute and it happened yet

Yep I am glad you brought up rolando blackman and carlos herrera I watched both of them play as a kid and it was never brought up that they were latin. Just that they were regular black players. Only until the NBA started to go global did they start pushing the non black international players.

Speaking of international black players from latin america who matriculated to the NBA from american ball to the pros. Amazing how Mr. Felipe Lopez being an international player was never discussed that much even though he was hyped. Cause being an international player (specifically a black one) wasn't hyped up then.

And as you know being out east. This kat in the 90s was one of the most hyped up players in high school and going to college.

is a new york domimican really international

One felipe moved to America at 14.

And two by NBA standards he as international as an american raised in an american territory known as the virgin islands (tim duncan). Or as international as a mixed black player born in NY then moves to france and comes back to the US at 13 to play high school and college ball in the US (Joakim Noah).

Only one african kat had outerworldly skills and that was the gawd hakeem.

In general foreign players don't have the skill set of african america players. It just can't be taught thats the type of skill you develop through competing against the best on your block, in your neighborhood, in your town, in your state and so one.

Even white folks acknowledge the only reason white foreign players make it to the pros compared to their white american counterparts. Is its a blood bath to make it to the pros in america. On that conveyor belt to the top your lunch will be eaten by some of the best or you eat their lunch. Eat or be eaten.

You can't slowly develop in an incubator like you can overseas.

Its like how in america folks are suprised how some of these foreign kids do so well here for school. Well its a blood bath in some of those countries. Mothafukkas got to test just to be let in elementary school, test to get into high school. Momma and daddy will beat they asses at 6 with a ruler if they don't get straight As cause they family know they can't afford for that mothafukka to live with them at 18. Plus they need that kid to be successful to take care of their asses when they are old. So the cream ain't got no choice but to rise to the top. I done seen that shyt with my own eyes when I worked in china.
