What Impact Will NBA Africa Have on FBA's Relationship to the Continent

[get these nets]

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.

Yeah the hype machine was heavy for Felipe, especially in the metro area.

They built him up to impossible standards and he fell flat. Very good dude by all accounts. I think he graduated a year before KG. They wanted him to declare early after his freshman year, the year KG changed everything by declaring. But FL's mom made him promise that he'd graduate college.

League messed up by not putting him in Miami or New York metro teams, to capitalize on that Latin fan base.

This thread is cringe-worthy and corny

The lure of a full athletic scholarship has attracted international athletes to the U.S. for decades.
East Africans, Kenyans specifically dominate middle and long distances. There's an entire sports system culture in certain regions where kids are encouraged to train to either land a D1 ride or run professionally.
The soccer system culture exists across other parts of Africa where kids with talent are encouraged to train to land a contract with a Euro soccer team.

I'm tonbot hooping. You talking bout long distance running and soccer.

Even with that I have not met 1 African sports fanatic for their kids in my life.

Cats is ping ponging all across the globe just to make comparisons. Extremely disingenuous

Hooping you say?

Look at footage of the 2020 NBA draft and watch the footage of the families of the 8 Nigerian players, and the AA/Nigerian player when their names were selected.

Here is the reaction of the family of #5 pick Isaac Okoro



I have plenty of members blocked/ignored, so not sure exactly what you were responding to in the post I quoted. But again, the NCAA system here generates millions from college sports and offers full college scholarships to athletes. Pushing your child academically and supporting his athletic dreams are not conflicting notions.
The guy in the link (Aaron Nesmith)got a scholarship to Vanderbilt.

The journalist Rose Gold-Onwulde got a basketball scholarship to Stanford.

The ex football player Nnamdi Asomugha got a ride at Cal

Georgetown and Duke consistently get hoopers from strong academic backgrounds also.

It's not as either/or as you're making it out to be.

ADOS is the most insecure group of incels on the internet

Caribbeans And Africans would like to have a word with you

nvm people from your group(haitians) and elsewhere go around pleading and doing shyt to get ADOS attention. bytching about twitter saying "ados people think only they are black"

we far from insecure the vast majority of ADOS people arent even thinking about you irrelevant island nikkas , and Fufus.

I see a bunch of future elite centers hailing out of S Sudan, Senegal, Rwanda and Mali

point guards will hail from the forest regions of west african

 

[Cadillac]

ehh not really

Giannis, Luka, Khawi, Embiid,Jokic, Gobert, Simmons, Kahwi (grandfather South African)

The world is catching up to the NBA.

people been saying BS like what you saying for a while and yet the game is still being mainly dominated by ADOS players

outside of Giannis. All the MVPS of the last 10 years have been ADOS. Giannis is the first and only nonADOS mvp since Dirk in 07

And in the future it will likely be relatively the same with Luka prolly getting 2-3 MVPs

 

[Cadillac]

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

best African ever played in the NBA is Hakeem and he was def skilled but thats it.

but lets be honest hes barely even in that convo of Top 10 if not, not in the top 10 at all really.
Most people who like to put him there, are usually people who look to shyt on Kobe or belittle Shaq.

Caribbeans i think dont even have a top 10-15 tier player. Closest is who? Maybe Patrick Ewing

Edit: Just remembered there's Tim Duncan

So caribbean/Island people got 1 in the GOATS convo

 

[Ugo Ogugwa]

Blah blah. Nigerian parents don't give a fuk about shyt but the books until money comes in.

But yet literally the first post after OP was some insecure ADOS bullshyt about being replaced when the thread is about BASKETBALL

Face the facts nikka, ya’ll the most insecure group of nikkas on the net and I say the net because real nikkas outside this shyt could give two fukks about ADOS or even know what the fukk ADOS is.

Whoever your referring to i got on ignore, but one insecure nikka dont mean the Avg ADOS nikka is worried.
