Embiid ran to get his US citizenship, we didn't have to "buy" him
Embiid also ran to get his French citizenship and is currently talking about playing for Cameroon if he can in the next Olympics

Passport shopping and having the USA basketball team have to naturalize guys because they lost last summer is weak as hell

"The US doesn't produce talent in basketball" then proceeds to watch the US play for the gold medal:laff::laff::laff::laff::laff::laff::laff:
The USA doesn't have a player in the top 5 in the NBA

There hasn't been an NBA MVP from America in over half a decade

Euros and other countries dominate the top of the draft every year

Your best players are all 35+ years old or from Cameroon

You didn't medal at the 2023 FIBA U19 World championships

The last two times you tried to put together a a FIBA team of the best young American NBA players you finished 4th and 9th at the world championships

So yes, there's been a massive decline in the USA developing elite level players in the last ten years


Now hurry up and post one sentence and a bunch of smileys because you don't actually know that you're talking about

You don't really believe that. If that's what the US had to do, they would've started way before Embiid

Don't believe what? There's nothing to "believe". That's literally what happened

Embiid had confirmed that he got his french citizenship and was going to play for France

Immediately after the USA lost to Lithuania, Germany, and Canada last summer, there was a full scale push to get Embiid to change up and play for the states

Can always tell who isn't American. American media loves to push foreign players over American players. Happens constantly in baseball as well. Especially when you talking about black males. MVP voting in American sports always has that backdrop. Hell, same happens in industry as well. Its why US will never win one of those quality of life surveys. American attitude is to complain about what you have and who you live next to. Reality is when you let us cook, we cook.
