Hello, I present you: Americans.
@@oddballskull1941 go ahead bro
As a Lithuanian, I gotta tell you Americans: it's coming faster than you think. We used to qualify for every major tournament just because we're Lithuania. We just had more culture and basketball history so we beat teams like Germany, Angola and Brazil by default. It's not the case anymore. We failed to qualify for the Olympics for the first time ever for the same exact reasons the US is struggling against Nigeria and Australia. The world caught up and we didn't work as hard anymore.
Obviously, the US has an insane amount of talent and resources. But pride and teamwork are something earned, not given. I still think the US is taking gold but it will not be easy at all. At the end of the day, guys like Giannis and Jokic are representing weaker teams, they don't play together vs the US. But it will be interesting for sure.
I would agree, but the problem is that only half of the US’ top players are taking part in the Olympics.
@@connorberglund7032 dang bruh lol
Or….you just ran into Luka and didn’t qualify.
Yeah, the U.S. and NBA is full of entitled people who don't work hard anymore because they would prefer handouts than working hard work and handups. They will continue to be worse as they become more "woke".
@@DJHogue Are you finished rambling?
To be fair, Sabonis was drafted during the Cold War where tension was high between USA and Russia still.
A man has as much control over where he is born as he does over the colour of his skin.
People didn’t want him to be playing and weren’t going to support him because of where he was born. Not his political ideology or the threat of nuclear war. It wasn’t Gorbachev who was drafted.
To judge someone’s physical ability or their potential or their worthiness of opportunities because they are from another country, even a hostile one, is unfair.
I mean if people started booing an Iranian, Iraqi or Pakistani today I would hope they were rightly called out on their racism.
War doesn’t excuse losing our humanity.
“To be fair” was poor wording; my bad. I was just trying to say it could have been a reason people didn’t like the pick, among other reasons.
Never did I say that it was a good thing though. It is blatantly obvious that it is not good to hate someone simply because of race, country of origin, political view, social status, etc.
@@emilchandran546 That’s not racism. Obviously it wasn’t the players fault. But that’s sometime the way it is when countries abuse their power; they hurt their people.
By defending that pick, you would have further enabled the USSR to abuse their people. It’s not pleasant, but it’s necessary. Government power is the most dangerous thing on earth, and you have to stand up to it.

Oh, they had quite the players back then. Yugoslavia produces AMAZING basketball players for a country its size. Take 1987's Yugoslavian national team. Drazen Petrovic, Toni Kukoc, Dino Radja, Stojan Vrancovic, Vlade Divac and Zarko Paspalij. Legendary players one and all. And in 1989, two years later, they added Predrag Danilovic and the amazing Jure Zdovc. Two years later? There's Arijan Komazec. And after the wars there's Tomasevic and Rebraca. What a place.

The Olympics will be interesting. The difference between teams like Australia/Spain/Serbia and the US is that overseas players are developed from a young age to play a role in their club's senior team and a lot of them are used to being bench, then gradually getting a role in the team and some becoming stars. Whereas in the US players are mostly developed as individuals so they can get college scholarships/go pro. This US team is made up almost entirely of guys who have pretty much been the first or 2nd option their entire lives. I still think they are the favourites, solely because they will have at least 4 of the best 5 players on the court at all times. But if they lose, it will be because of their style of play and inability to play actual team basketball.

I love seeing comments like this, it's always a line I forgot about from a movie I love lol
All-Star teams that don't play together as a team very long, aren't going to be as good as teams that play together for a long time. Players learn what their teammates are thinking, where they like to get the ball, and just generally how to complement each other on the court.
Interest in NBA has been dropping over the years. It's not as much fun to watch, any more. I stopped watching in the early 2000s, mainly to free up time for other activities. But when I tune in to watch at random, nowadays, it's not the same game. Not as team-oriented as it used to be.

about Sabonis, drafting a foreign born player wasnt inconceivable, drafting a player from the Soviet Union during the Cold War was inconceivable
Yea, I think the Cold War might have been the bigger issue not that he was just some 'foreigner'. I am pretty sure the bulls had someone on their team who wasn't from the USA and they went on to win back to back titles.
It was both, actually. It was rare to see foreign-born NBA players around that time and it just so happened that the Cold War was also happening at the same time so it was even more surprising

Man, Sabonis not playing his whole career in the NBA is a travisty. He was so insanely good. Watching him Shaq the Admiral before Shaq even was is just amazing to watch
I'm happy he didn't play his whole career in the NBA. I'm from Lithuania. My father told me stories what it meant for the national pride in an occupied and oppressed small country when Sabonis-led Lithuanian team from a small city beat the best talent all of Russia had to offer and won the Soviet Union National League three times in a row, beating Moscow CSKA in the finals. Lithuanians felt that these were indirect battles for independence and they were very important for people emotionally. Americans got to see enough great talent in the NBA.

I think the Sabonis reaction was because he was from the USSR and not because he was foreign
He was from Lithuania which remained Soviet despite being like Poland and wanting independence from the Russian Empire well before the Russian revolution and the USSR, and became more obviously very anti-Russian after the Soviet breakup. People thought every part of the USSR was communist to the core, like they stupidly think Russia is still communist.

This is true and it shows you as well how under appreciated is Steph Curry and how he is very under sold in today’s NBA by fans and media. What separates Curry from anyone in this team USA including KD is he is not just an iso guy which he can be but he is the best off the ball player in the nba meaning he doesn’t need to iso or dribble the ball to get his buckets. So it’s tough guarding him because he can beat you on the ball and off the ball in many ways yet people be downplaying he isn’t a legend and disrespect him.

It’s starting to remind me of soccer honestly, where most countries have an even chance. Granted, the US still probably has more talent then almost of the world, but I feel like any country has a shot nowadays.
Great video though man. Love the explanation of what happening!
oh shit wemby is IN the league
I think we are seeing the lasting impact of the game growing in the 90s and 00s. These kids worldwide grew up watching MJ while the older generations never got to see the NBA as much. That inspired them to reach the heights of a sport that has much more reach than before
more like kobe & lebron, cause people born after mj retired are already 23
Yup basketball still isn’t even that popular down under.. You guys just wait until it is lol
@@izzy031096 Yeah can't wait for the Melbourne Wallabies to set the basketball world on fire 😂
@@BENBOSS777 uh nope, MJ was the sparks for basketball here in Asia. Before that, everyone was just a football (soccer) fanatics..but our generation and below started to love basketball.
@@zevroman nope, mj inspired lebrons generation, not this new up-incoming one. Luka Doncic literally said Lebron was his idol and inspired him to play ball
Dude your take is spot on. It always makes you wonder why we would call ourselves world champions when the world wasn’t involved. Thanks for this
@Tucker Johnson Embiid is not from America. Lmao
@@prismatic9804 is called the "NATIONAL" Basketball Association not the "WORLD" Basketball Association. Just becuz we have international talent doesn't make it a world league.
@@tombradydid9114 the guy I was responding to must have dorty deleted. He said Team USA didn't have their best players and listed Embiid, chief
This was a good one. Everyone in the world should have the most opportunity possible. Let the best, most hard-working individual win.
There’s a reason why guys like MJ and Kobe only got more intense as their careers progressed. It’s easier for later generations to achieve skills like theirs when they’ve seen the greats in action. The pioneers work harder to pave the way resulting in an easier job for their descendants to walk the path. Becoming the best is about innovation and motivation. Staying the best is about vigilance and relentlessness.

My guy Josh Okogie out here playing for NIGERIA 🇳🇬!! IM a Twolves fan from MN I actually had the pleasure of meeting him once!! Crazy a person with his talent still falls so low on the radar these days 🙆🏻♂️🤷♂️
Nice one man. the problem basketball is expensive to play and to maintain. i know this may sound weird to those growing in US as they seem to be basketball courts almost everywhere. In most countries thats not the case. thats why in Soccer (football) which can be played anywhere and anyhow, this dominance is rarely seen

I didnt know arvydas sabonis was such a truck, crazy I only saw him when he was already "broken"
He was basically a bit more modern Wilt Chamberlain. He was actually a high flyer!
@@amjan His offense was also ridiculous. Such finesse for a tall guy.
Proud to be a Lithuanian rn 😂 watch out for Sabonis Jr.
I thought he was a big white chocolate with the blazers
He came into the league as damaged goods with two formerly torn Achilles, and still managed to be that good. Sabonis was a gem.
Such a great video, hands down the best basketball channel I’ve come across
I am from Greece and I picked up basketball a few days ago but the basketball feels so natural to handle and I have already created my own dribbles 15 years old
Team USA thought that they're still in NBA 🤦♂️

In my country there are hardly any basketball resources near where I live. I Play for a team and when I go to practise I have to travel nearly half way through the country every week because they are the closest team. there are 0 indoor basketball gyms/courts unless I travel really far up north and I cant do that so It is a shame basketball isn't that big where I'm from.
9:15 the reason why I think they reacted that way was probably due to the fact that the draft was during the Cold War and the Trailblazers chose a person from the Soviet Union
Personally I believe the Sabonis reaction was from the announcer taking minute-long breaks between each line, just to say a “USSR” player during the Cold War. Otherwise an outstanding video as always👍
Yeah it wasn't just foreign born, it was THAT country that he was born in. I doubt it was a similar reaction when hakeem or dikembe were drafted lol.

“Talent is equally distributed, opportunity is not”
talent is not equally distributed
@dripler You're probably talking about somewhere in South Sudan, thing is they've never really produced a legendary NBA player despite they're extraordinary average height
A lot of high quality coaches from the US have been spreading knowledge worldwide for a long time now. It’s showing.
It's amazing that Hakeem and embiid played their first basketball at age 15
also me. except im still 15. but its really inspiring to know that african players like hakeem and embiid started the way i did.basketball is my life fr. and i hope that it can expand in africa as well.
A great point and this was actually true for a lot of young Nigerian (i know embiid isnt nigerian) who were born in those days the usually started out with football and if you got tall then you would move to basketball my dad has some pretty funny stories about guys who were insane baskball players that just never tried playing until College age.
@@gregstertv695 keep working man
This man Jimmy has never missed in his life. Keep up with the goated videos
Spot on. It’s an equity issue. The more opportunity and resources are distributed evenly, the more diverse a league we see, and the better performing league we see
There should be some kinda international league in the future
There is for Europe like the champions League for football
They depend on the foul calls and they ain’t giving them any soft ass fouls
Those calls are to protect the players. To protect the team's investments
@@foraminutethere23 yeah the olympics committee couldn’t give less of a shit about what rich NBA owners want. They are gonna do what’s beneficial to the Olympics not the NBA and that means basically ‘go as hard as you can, we don’t care if you get injured we’re not the ones paying you’

This is true. USA team flailing around trying to get their calls. It ain't working
I think the reaction to him being drafted had more to do with it being the USSR. Cold War views.
facts
I was looking for this comment. Facts
For sure
Yeah the red scare was still in full swing, and there was generally a lot of xenophobia towards everybody from the eastern block, even if it wasnt the fault of the people from russia or lithuania that they had were part of that system.
also he's an older dude with many injuries
I love the people clowning Sabonis. Not knowing how much of an impact he would have.
Truth. And if he'd have come when he was actually drafted his name would be up there with Wilt, Hakeem, Kareem, Shaq and Russel in the list of all time big man GOATs imo. He had every tool in the kit + amazing basketball IQ. I think he would've dominated for a decade+
I've never paid much attention to the NBA purely cause its a US only sport (or at least was), but the way I see it opening up and the more foreign born players I see making it excites me a lot. Football (soccer) has always been my sport purely because of its enormous international reach. But I wouldn't mind seeing basketball grow like that as well.
The MVP contenders this year were all foreign (greek Giannis, cameroonian Embiid, serbian Jokic).
The NBA is getting open to the rest of the world.
The reaction to the Sabonis selection definitely wasn’t solely due to him being a foreign prospect, but rather the fact that he was a Soviet draftee during the immense animosity of the Cold War.
was looking for this
Agreed
well another reason why it is pretty stupid to draft him at that time is that unless sabonis defect and desert the red army, he cannot even come and play in the nba
Maybe for some, but for others?
I imagine there was a lot of people who had no idea who Sabonis was and since America>World, thought he was an "inferior" player because he didn't grow up and play basketball in the states.
I'm just glad that Sabonis had a nice career. I remember watching him as a lad, and even though he seemed slower and "stiff" at times, not to mention not as "flashy" as well, you could tell he had definite skill.
I was today years old when I found out Kyrie Irving was born in Australia...
Ikr
He moved to America and developed as an American so his nationality is kind of a grey area, I think he even says he’s American so it kind of invalidates that point…
Not a grey area because he’s Australian but to correlate his skills to being foreign is invalid…
wanna know the crazy thing, we almost got him. when he was like 16yo basketball Australia was willing to hand him the keys to the team rather then have to fight his way into the USA team, but something to do with his dad made him want to hold out to play for USA
EDIT: sorry it wasn't his dad it was coach k who advised him to hold out to play for America.
to be fair it's the total right call. morally he was only born here cause his dad played pro here for a minute. he grew up in America and was raised as a American so while technically he could have played for us it was morally wrong to try and steal him and it would have cheapened our wins.
@@skonk4483 true. I know he played for team USA in the 2016 Olympics in Rio. So he definitely identifies as an American. I guess he is a dual citizen.
who here after we won gold....again
It's not just about the foreign players' development, but the fact that NBA's officiating's just getting softer and softer comparing to the FIBA's rules. That'll make a soon to be impossible task to win international titles to US team.
Players of the NBA are always surprised in international tournaments when they can be touched or defensed a bit tougher comparing to the NBA. Officials shouldn't be so soft, Adam Silver should do something about it asap.
