They should really have each championship team from all the international leagues, play against each other for a "World Championship" title.
We need a power ranking of all basketball teams in the world
Have a tournament so we get a true world champion
A waste of time... How?Please stop before Adam silver hears you.
As Gil pointed out in that vid that would be a colossal waste of time.
It’s such a sign of the times that we overreact to something no one was even thinking about, all bc it went viral
ThisI'm a big basketball fan but, I don't ever recall the NBA calling themselves World Champions after winning the title. I've always heard NBA Champions as a reference, only on 2K have I heard an NBA champion being referred to as World Champions seldom ever heard the phrase NBA World Champions compared to NBA Champions.
A waste of time... How?
The revenue for that would be crazy
There's a big ass world outside of the United States.That’s exactly why the game is being overrun by casuals. Why Adam silver can’t stop from fukin with shyt
A 4 point shot would probably increase revenue too let’s go for it ….midseason tournaments, target score, let’s just rename it to La Liga
No, they wouldn’t. The same way ratings wise no one is watching Team USA right nowThere's a big ass world outside of the United States.
Capitalize on the fact that people are tribal as fukk.
They gonna support the team from their city hard as fukk.
And they are gonna support a team from their own country just as hard.
It don't matter if your a Lakers fan, warriors, Knicks, or heat fan...
If the NBA champ Nuggets had to play teams from all over the world to be crown World champ, that shyt would be crazy. Everyone would watch and support
That bolded is true on both sides tho bro.No, they wouldn’t. The same way ratings wise no one is watching Team USA right now
And we have decades of muscle memory. When the champ is crowned after the finals, bball is over. It’s summer time. Done.
Also, time differences. No one is waking up at 4am to watch the nuggets play Panthalonas.
And as Gil pointed out, people are conflating individual teams with the sum of international basketball. These individual teams are not good fam. Their best players can’t make the league!
This whole argument was never about that. He made a common sense factual statement, but NO ONE has EVER, asked ‘well the NBA champs won but who’s best in the WORLD’. That’s NOT what anyone is saying
Hence why I keep saying it’s frightening our society is so geared for debate and pettiness that people are automatically getting defensive and this whole thing went left

So teams considered themselves world championsSeems like the banners are up to the discretion of the teams
