The Official NBA Season Thread: Las Vegas Summer League | USA VS South Sudan at 3 ET on Fox

Cooper Flag is the one that dog walked Bradley Beal 🤣 dude is legit. World is upside down. All the best basketball players are Caucasian. All the best quarterbacks are predominately bruvas. Wild times.
 
I always heard good things about the Chicago runs back then I wish someone recorded them .I would have loved to see toine and fin battling

Noah’s dad was literally a French tennis star/musician :lol:

Yea. I know that. And … his dad. Not Joakim.

This logic would have the vast majority of our players playing for what, Africa, where their ethnic heritage hails from originally eons ago?

Joakim Noah was literally born in New York City (Manhattan) and was raised in New York City, and never spent a single amount of time in France.

He literally has no right to play for that National team under traditional or rational circumstances.

Kobe Bryant, was born in Philadelphia, lived there until he was six years old, is totally American, when his American Dad and Mom moved to Italy so Dad could play professional basketball. Kobe Bryant, as an American outsider, living amongst other Italians, getting to experience an outside let perspective being a young American in a foreign land, facing bullying there … lived there for seven years before family moved them back to a Philadelphia suburbs at 13 years old.

Kobe Bryant isn’t an Italian citizen or nationality. Not even close. And he would have more pragmatic right to play for their national team than Joakim Noah would have had to play for France.

And that is saying something because Kobe definitely wouldn’t.

Same goes for Kyrie born to American parents while his dad tried to play basketball in Australia. They moved him back to the states when he was two years old and he spent his entire life here in America. He’s an American. He would have more right to play for Australia than Joakim Noah did playing for France as well.

Even worse is Chris Kaman, he too didn’t spend a lick of time in Germany. He didn’t speak the language, didn’t even live there at all. Yet they granted him citizenship in 2008 so he could participate for their national team in the Olympics.

As I was saying, it has become a total joke. The competition abroad has definitely gotten better in the decades since the dream team. With that said, some of these teams are littered with American players, and the vast majority of them have American coaches leading their system.

😆

That was the NBA’s way of trying to globalize the game even more to get more profit and revenue generation outside of our domestic borders
