The European white boys are well represented in this year's playoffs

[basketballcat]

Is Kendrick Perkins ok?
Is Stephen A getting enough sleep?
Is Shaq's anxiety, due to insecurity on his place in the all time lists, under control?

Is the NBA majority ok with this? The minority seem to be ruling the league. :violin:

[Im Still Ballin]

Feels like we're in for Nash/Dirk mid-'00s stretch again.

Feels like we're in for Nash/Dirk mid-'00s stretch again.but neither was a consensus bitw with Duncan, KG and Kobe around. Right now our top 5 is something like Jokic, Embiid, Giannis, Luka and Shai(Ant arguably in the mix somewhere) not one American with a frenchie looking like he’s going to be taking the bitw torch in a few years.

Chet will be all NBA in a couple years, and Cooper Flagg is an eventual BITW prospect.

Again, just like soccer, the NBA will eventually be represented pretty much equally across numerous races and nationalities.

How could you forget Bronny?

[Axe]

Months earlier op used to be rooting for kawhi to be this year's mvp. :oldlol:

[FultzNationRISE]

Well he is the impending GOAT II after his father, but hes also More Than An Athlete.

To say “Oh, Bronny’s gonna be elite in the NBA” is patronizing. He’s gonna be an elite figure of all humanity across all disciplines in space and time.

The basketball dominance goes without saying. To say it is almost like disrespect.

Still a fan of Kawhi. When did I say that I'm not? :biggums:

Cooper doesn't strike me as close to a BITW prospect.

He'll fall somewhere in between AK47 and a Kawhi lite.

Probably just needs to work on a 3 point shot to open up the floor.

Could also just be a better Hayward, which wouldn't be bad either.

Don't forget everyone on ISH that's triggered by all this.

Klutch Sports is leading you around on a leash. Surprised they let you have play time.

[Patrick Chewing]

Isaiah Hartenstein dominating the boards in this year's playoffs too.

More dominance from the White Europeans. :bowdown:

It's a #SnowSeason.

American whites should go play in Slovenia if they want to make it.

Change their names so they don't seem american before the draft.

Instant lottery pick.

When Wemby was in the redick podcast he pointed out that they spend a lot more time practicing over there. Guys go pro at a younger age. There are fewer games but far more practice time so they develop skills moreso than guys over here going through the aau circuit.

Not only that, but high school age kids will typically workout with the pro team if they're good, even if they're not at the level of going pro. The euro system works in this way by making sure there's a constant pipeline from youth basketball to pro.

Instead in the US, the AAU system incentivizes that kids reclassify to play with younger kids, so they look better. It's a scam honestly.

[red1]

Still a fan of Kawhi.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems like AAU coaches here are scared of the star players, like they can’t tell them anything so you develop bad habits. You go to college and the coach is just using you as a one and done and isn’t bothering teaching or developing anything- just seeing how they can use you to win as you are. Someone like Luka who’s been pro since age 14 or whatever probably wasn’t always a star since he played grown men, and went through getting benched and being coached with accountability. Just my 2c.

American players who stay 3 or 4 years also show this maturity in games, see Brunson.

[FKAri]

Are the American Whites OK with this?

Kawhi is the best player of this generation, skill-wise. Health robbed him of at least two more titles

Unlikely but we will always cherish raptors kawhi forever.

I'd say it's Kyrie but Kawhi has the best blend of skill & athleticism when he's healthy.

[WhiteKyrie]

Same thing with the Canadian black boys

Book 1 European white boy for the conf finals. :djparty
