My personal observation. USA mindset: "Yo Imma kick your ass, this is my court, bitch." Europe mindset: "I better work on my jumpshot before coach sees me."
Even though....There are 3 non us developed players in the mvp conversation, two of them are african. And the rest of all of the superstars in the league including the future favorites for face of the league are all American born , let's be real, black men. Joel embiid and giannis have both played in America more than any other place. Dirk Pau jokic most European stars have the exact same skill set that people don't take seriously until they sneak up and have great Stat lines before someone has to pull them back to the pack.
@@moresomoze Giannis grew up and learned to play Basketball in Greece, his parents are from Nigeria. Also Luka and Nicola are No 1 and 2 in MVP convo and are both european. You are ether purposefully lying or delusional. Also things are just getting started, Wembanyama is only the beginning. Dark times are ahead for US-Basketball, and we softies over her are loving it
AAU player development is spiraling down, too many games, hurting the kids more than developing them. Parents paying for highlight mixtapes and all this crap and then in college the prospects get spoiled by too much money.
In Europe soccer and basketball the players often go early to the big clubs. Like Luka Doncic who played at Real Madrid from he was 16 years old. He played grown men and really got challenges. In USA the draft is importent and players go to those teams to late. Also never learned the European way to play as a team:) Rhinen Michelle had a setup tactic where all teams at all levels played the same way, and when the got to the grow team they knew the systen for 5-7 years allready. They can go in earlier and become better ❤
You are the first American i heard speaking about the competitiveness of having shorter seasons. Performing at your absolute highest level throughout a season when every game and play matters including more days with practice will certainty develop the better player. When US youth kids go up against 5'7 guards before entering a regular season in the NBA filled with load management and lackluster defense, beyond that players barely practice between games it's not a recipe for the best development.
Streetball culture is ruining the fundamentals of basketball. Most kids just dribble the air out of the ball and dunk. Cant shoot at all. So pray you don't get hurt. Lots of traveling and carrying the ball. Just showboating and not much passing.
You hit the nail on the head many times here but IMO popularity is the big one. For as long as I can remember nobody in basically any European country gave a crap about Basketball. You played football, and if it wasn't that it was something else. The sport is slowly getting more popular across the continent meaning more people are taking an interest and there are slowly becoming more ways to get involved and actually start playing. The massive strangehold America had on the NBA was due to complete lack of popularity and interest from the rest of the world.
How does bro not have 20k followers yet?? His content is on par, if not more informative and creative and creators who cover the same and similar topics and have a quarter to a half 1 million followers.

That is because talent is much, much more diluted. The NBA has 30 teams. Euroleague has 18, but taken from the top teams of the domestic leagues of 15 countries. Each of those league are around 25 teams, so more than 350 clubs.
I’d say it’s a misnomer to simply say the emphasis in the US is simply on athletic skills or natural athletic abilities. Yes we all see who can run the fastest and jump the highest and those are athletic abilities but we don’t yet have a term for the athletic abilities that require intelligence and the ability to work within a team system. These are indeed athletic abilities. This is still a team game and there are more skills required for success. The success of Euro style play proves this. I know from my own experience I coach various 3rd-8th grade boys and girls teams and we win about 75% of our games without recruiting. Plenty of our opponents do. All you need are coaches willing to teach the game the right way.
Thank you for further advancing the point that the 80s and 90s NBA would crush this modern NBA or Euroleague for that matter. It was the golden age of Pro basketball
Great Video. From my observations it’s clear that most naturally athletically gifted players from America don’t love the game. There are exceptions of course but it’s all about the money. Not faulting them just how it is now days.
The increasingly pay-to-play business model of the AAU also means that most of the American kids getting drafted into today’s NBA grew up comfortably. No more LeBron James or Kevin Durant stories, people who grew up in poverty. Constricting the talent pool only to the upper-middle class and over is harmful and does not allow us to get the best possible players.
@@georgeharrison5753 They were literally in the Euro final 2 years ago which is basically the best teams without Argentina and Brazil. They're a top 10 team in the world easily and always dangerous. To pretend otherwise is silly.(I'm of the opinion that anyone in the top 10 can beat anyone else in the top 10 basically because of how wacky international football is)
I wouls love to see all star matches usa vs international and see how usa would get smacked. It would be most warched and hyped game of the season. Right now all star is a joke. Love to see all the stars try hard to win.
I love that people are saying American players are lazy or just want money but they’re is an easy reason for why international players are taking over, the game is actually liked internationally. If you look at the mlb for example, at least half of the top players in the league are international and that just happens when you expand past our borders. Instead of a pool of 3-400 million people you have a pool of billions who want to play just as much as we Americans do
None of these young American guys are really that special which under 25 American nba hooper is better than luka None of them are ain’t no special players coming ain’t no kd or lebron on the way USA basketball is dead nba is for the international
The American NBA player under 25 is adapting to a new playing style due to how the rules changed making the game easier for international players. You couldn't say that about American hall of famers who played against older international players because they shut that sh** down 👎🏾 go see for yourself before you speak on a sport we always dominated.
@@higherheights3105 nah 🧢 the reason the rules favour them is because the game is more skill oriented and y’all Americans just focus on athleticism the game has evolved to award true hoopers not part time American nba influencers y’all USA players are more concerned with your brand image than your actual game 😅😅
@@SiyabongaMokoena-nh8fp y'all Americans huh? So you mean to tell me that America never produced highly skilled basketball players? Now u on some racist sh** lmao
@@higherheights3105 as of right now none of your young hoopers are touching luka and jokic in skill both regular season and playoffs and it’s gonna be like that for a long time cuz your producing ig influencers and not hoopers
@@SiyabongaMokoena-nh8fp this is a young league right now, which means the most skilled American basketball players are on their last leg....that's the only reason you talking sh**. Luka and Jokic is great, but I'm sure your statement won't age well, because I know that y'all foreigners are haters (whatever rock you crawled from underneath) I know plenty of young Americans basketball players that deactivated their social media because they love this game and they're willing to master their craft. I see why you hate us tho we run this sport and the sport shows ride y'all wave to get y'all clout. We don't need it cause the world knows we the fkn truth.
I think Africa is still a bit behind Europe and America in terms of player development but we're still getting more and more talented players coming out of Africa. Embiid was developed in the US and Giannis was developed in Europe. But with more leagues popping up in Africa, hopefully soon African players will be able to develop in Africa and come to the NBA from African leagues.
Wow, so European players have a couple good years and now they run the NBA? GTFOH, I'll tell you one thing, the top ten players of all time, not one of them aren't from the United States. IDC what y'all say and what European players you assemble. Not 1 of them could compete with the Dream Team or the Redeem Team. Yes they are having a helluva run right now, but the best upcoming talent is from the USA, Morant, Anthony Edwards, Trae young, Jordan Poole, Kat, Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Zion, d Russell, Shai, reeves, and I could keep going.
@@nonamegirl9368and none of those countries are producing top players. The best European players are from the east where basketball is the number 1 sport, compared to number 2 in America You thought you was doing something with this comment but still fail to realise 90% of the top 30 players in the NBA today are American.
AAU has ruined American Basketball, why? Because these guys become friends and not enemies. If they had the desire to beat each other as opposed to be friends, then the talent GROWS as opposed to the friendships.

NBA rules have been skewed towards making star players shine, so it's not a great miracle that the result is iso-ball.

Does Africa have anything to do with this narraitive iirc Giannis and Embid are African.
Giannis was born and raised in Greece. His nationality is Greek. Embiid is a Cameroonian American.
I think Africa is still a bit behind Europe and America in terms of player development but we're still getting more and more talented players coming out of Africa.

But with more leagues popping up in Africa, hopefully soon African players will be able to develop in Africa and come to the NBA from African leagues.
