I like the bully ball style, I understand its not the most effective or most popular playstyle but I enjoy it
blitzz_ [#6]Luka, Jokic, Giannis, Curry are top 4 right now, you could argue Tatum, Embiid, Booker, Ja for fifth
i think embiid is better than jokic and deserved mvp over him
Netero [#8]Who cars handegg clears. One of the top 5 best left tackles is Australian though
go vikings!

I respect that, I like that "streetball" moments and Curry shooting all the time in the middle of the court
thanatos11 [#18]no
Then ur braindead, no? With ur definition, no one is actually American as everyone came here from elsewhere
sheahhhh [#19]Then ur braindead, no? With ur definition, no one is actually American as everyone came here from elsewhere
Well is not the same to nationalize someone to play in your league than his grandad being from somewhere else yk. Anyway do they actually have nationality or just residency? Also, qualifying them as whatever country their play for it's most likely the better way
Mortadelo [#21]Well is not the same to nationalize someone to play in your league than his grandad being from somewhere else yk. Anyway do they actually have nationality or just residency? Also, qualifying them as whatever country their play for it's most likely the better way
Idk what they have but if they have nationality, imo, they are Americans
If u say their grandfather is from somewhere else, a lot of Americans have grandfather's from elsewhere

If you have American citizenship, you are American. Case closed.

Yeah I'm just saying is not the same to go to the US when you're 20 to play in the NBA, than actually being born there. But yeah if they do have nationality they are technically American. But that's like me saying Spain has the best Football players because Messi and Ronaldo are Spanish

Alright I'll correct the this guy's take
How does if feel that 4 of the top 5 nba players aren’t american born
Mortadelo [#26]Alright I'll correct the this guy's take

feels fine because they're american
the this
english 3rd language huh :(
nutab1e [#27]feels fine because they're american
the this
english 3rd language huh :(
Alright then, glad Messi won the World Cup since he's Spanish
thanatos11 [#3]i support the minesotta vikings we will win the ring !
You can't be a real vikings fan if you have hope
Mortadelo [#28]Alright then, glad Messi won the World Cup since he's Spanish
He plays for the Argentinian national team?
It's literally the country's team
That shouldn't be hard to comprehend
moatz [#32]He plays for the Argentinian national team?
It's literally the country's team
That shouldn't be hard to comprehend
Exactly, just like those NBA players also play for their national teams, not the US. That's literally my point, Messi is as Spanish as Luka is American is what I meant
Mortadelo [#33]Exactly, just like those NBA players also play for their national teams, not the US. That's literally my point, Messi is as Spanish as Luka is American is what I meant
Then ur saying no one is American?
sheahhhh [#34]Then ur saying no one is American?
No, I'm saying they are all technically American because they do have double nationality but to the practice they are from where they were born and not American made talents. So the point of the guy that made the thread is not wrong
Mortadelo [#35]No, I'm saying they are all technically American because they do have double nationality but to the practice they are from where they were born and not American made talents. So the point of the guy that made the thread is not wrong
So who is American to u
blitzz_ [#6]Luka, Jokic, Giannis, Curry are top 4 right now, you could argue Tatum, Embiid, Booker, Ja for fifth
OK sorry but its between tatum and embiid not booker or ja lmao
sheahhhh [#36]So who is American to u
Omg you're not getting the point. American is everyone with American citizenship, but is not the same if it's your second nationality and you actually feel more identified with another country than if you actually feel American or that's your only nationality
Mortadelo [#38]Omg you're not getting the point. American is everyone with American citizenship, but is not the same if it's your second nationality and you actually feel more identified with another country than if you actually feel American or that's your only nationality
and you actually feel more identified with another country than if you actually feel American or that's your only nationality
But how do yk what the nba players feel? They don't know u vro
Also nationality is more than just a feeling
moatz [#39]and you actually feel more identified with another country than if you actually feel American or that's your only nationality
But how do yk what the nba players feel? They don't know u vro
Also nationality is more than just a feeling
Wtf do you mean how do I know how they feel. If they felt American they would have chosen it as their fucking national team and not their homecountries??
Again same analogy how do you know Messi feels Argentinan? Well no shit you don't need to be a genius to know
Hasselhosch [#30]You can't be a real vikings fan if you have hope
Surely we don't get washed by the niners again
Mortadelo [#40]Wtf do you mean how do I know how they feel. If they felt American they would have chosen it as their fucking national team and not their homecountries??
Again same analogy how do you know Messi feels Argentinan? Well no shit you don't need to be a genius to know
U realize good nba players like Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, James Harden, Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, Lebron, Anthony Davis etc. have all played for the United States?
A lot of nba players left the national team because they'd rather focus on their nba careers. Not because they don't identify as American anymore.

Dude we're talking about Luka/ Jokic/Giannis etc, all the players you mentioned have only 1 nationality dude. We're not understanding each other, let's just drop it

all the players you mentioned have only 1 nationality dude.
1) Skin color is different from nationality
2) Having 3 good players (luka/jokic/giannis) who don't play for the us national team does not outweigh the 30-40 good players who have.

Wtffff dude you did not understand anything I said. Let's just drop it

braindead take
Mortadelo [#45]Wtffff dude you did not understand anything I said. Let's just drop it
I think ur the one not understanding what me, sheahh, sasuke, or nutab1e are telling u.
Anyways, I agree. Let's drop it
thanatos11 [#12]i think embiid is better than jokic and deserved mvp over him
Embiid is no way better than Jokic
Sushi_ [#10]I like the bully ball style, I understand its not the most effective or most popular playstyle but I enjoy it
Valid asf, one of the main reasons Kobe/Shaq lakers are one of my fav teams all time
brobeans [#31]i dont think anyone thinks those are the top 5
Jokic, Luka, Giannis are def top 5
Curry is statistically having one of the best seasons of his career
I could see Embiid being outside the top 5, but he's had some monster games this season
blitzz_ [#6]Luka, Jokic, Giannis, Curry are top 4 right now, you could argue Tatum, Embiid, Booker, Ja for fifth
Bro put Booker lol
blitzz_ [#50]Embiid is no way better than Jokic
two different play styles as centres - depends what you value more
sheahhhh [#19]Then ur braindead, no? With ur definition, no one is actually American as everyone came here from elsewhere
none of these players apart from curry represent the USA in the Olympics - none of these players also lived in a america before they declared for the NBA Draft
Hasselhosch [#30]You can't be a real vikings fan if you have hope
we have jjettas - shame cousins is shit when it matters
Sushi_ [#4]Idc there fun to watch :) international competition makes it more fun, giannis and embiid are 10x more fun to watch than steph or kd so im chill with it
"giannis and embiid are 10x more fun to watch than steph or kd"
im not tryna be rude but imma paraphrase this
watching nba players that go to the free throw line 30 times a game are 10x more fun to watch than steph or kd
babysasuke [#20]how does it feel that our domestic sports are in your head rent fucking free lmfao
👻👻👻
is true - i watch nfl and nba but i have to pay to watch
