The end of the reign of the USA basketballer.

[DoctorP]

The Luka ascension as best player and face of the NBA may be the symbolic passing of the torch to the European dominance of the sport of basketball.

Spain has been dominant in international play.
Italy has always been a force.
Greece has Giannis...the MVP.

And now... Luka Doncic.

Where are the Americans?

[DoctorP]

I will tell you where the americans are: skateboarding.

basketball is dying in the USA

Jokic dominated in the playoffs last season. Luka has done nothing in the playoffs. When he does something there you can say something.

Ah, giving him the Harden treatment? FAIR ENOUGH.

Aside from nyjah and Kelvin and maybe Tom shaer I wouldn't be surprised of Japan is taking home a lot of hardware in street in the Olympics. The technicality of Japanese skateboarding both above 18 and the under 18 class is ridiculous

Yup. You know Chriss is mad as **** because he's a bust as an 8th pick in the draft while Luka's owning the league right now.

Such a tough guy to push Luka into cameras, knowing that the ref is right next to them to break it up.

[LoneyROY7]

The best player in the league is still American though, so...

:confusedshrug: :confusedshrug:

[Dr Hawk]

Spain is the world champion.

Dude seriously... I hope that Asian dude who got his head smashed in by Luka's elbow is okay.

Once again Asians taking the collateral damage of the sexual tension between whites and blacks.

Italy has not been any good in basketball for the last 15 years or so.

I told you guys - the threes/layups style of play results in inferior skillsets

it's Adam Silver's fault because he encouraged the maximization of threes, which allows the spacing needed for the simple threes/layups allocation

gone are the days where americans played basketball - now it's a 3-point DRILL that has made us worse players than foreigners.. it's sad

[DoctorP]

Italy has not been any good in basketball for the last 15 years or so.

Italy has been solid. Not dominant but up there in the ranks. Currently #3 in the world.

[Lebron23]

Team USA 2020 is loaded with talent.

[AirBonner]

Tatum is already turning into a better player than Luka

[DoctorP]
