lol Random shots.

I think Patrice O'neal had a joke like this a long time ago though.

 

[Ccslim]

NBA doesnt call themselves the world champ, only NFL and MLB still does. Most sports phased that out when they tried to go global.

Just...just take the win brotha. No need to shyt on another sport. Especially when that sport ACTUALLY DOES represents the country in the Basketball World Championships AND the Olympics.

 

[already home_17]

did he mean the NFL? lol

the last 5 league MVP’s were non american. 2 of the last 3 finals MVP’s were non american. the best basketball players in the world are in the NBA

dude sounds kinda goofy

“i love the USA, at times”

realest shit he said

 

[Iceberg_Taylor]

Why did he even say this? What was the context or question asked to him

He was basically trying to get to the fact of how hard it is to become world champion by having to compete w the best athletes from around the globe

 

[Ironman]

He's young, so he doesn't really get that there was a time when all the best basketball players in the world were in the NBA. Hell, you could probably argue that's still true today, it's just that not all the best players are American.

I think his point is they are not traveling the globe and playing the best on their turf to determine that

I know it’s stupid

I understand his point, because I’ve actually heard this before. He was talking about the NBA and not basketball as a whole. How this can be misconstrued? Idk, but here we are

I don't think it's being misconstrued. I think people have less of a problem with the point he made and more with the fact that he made it in the first place. Just didn't seem necessary.
