Since folks have to hear it from celebrities to consider things correct.

So here’s a sentence you’d never hear… “the NBA is ARGUABLY the best basketball league in the world.” Everyone keeps ignoring the fact that there is SIGNIFICANTLY more parity between the soccer leagues than the basketball ones. The Premier league is one of the best soccer leagues in the world. But if you listed the top 50 soccer players in the world right now, you’d probably be hard pressed to get to 15 Premier league players.
Furthermore, they were all pretty much concentrated to the top teams of those other countries. The NBA equivalent would be if all the best NBA players played for about 6-8 different non us club teams, you’d be able to justifiably wonder who the best basketball team in the world is. For comparison, the best non nba basketball player in the world would not crack the top 100 basketball players in the world. Maybe even 150.

Everyone’s point that disagrees with Noah’s premise is that we don’t need to see it be played out. You can use the laws of deductive reasoning to come to the conclusion that the Denver nuggets would beat every other club team in the world. When we just know for a fact that guys like KCP and Reggie Jackson, would dominate the Spanish ACB (regarded as the second best basketball league in the world)

For context, cause that seems to be missing from this dumb debate, here are the top 5 scorers/minutes players for Real Madrid, (last years EuroLeague champs and a team the Nuggets would play in this club World Cup model you guys need for proof that they’re the best in the world):

Dzanan Musa
Gabriel Deck
Edy Tavares
Mario Hezonja
Gerson Yabusele

All these guys have played in the nba btw. We know how good they are already.

I get what he saying on one hand, but the problem is he came off as a hating ass bytch with his whole tone and delivery saying that. Nobody even asked him about the nba, shut he was real passionate about that shyt how he singled them out lol

Idk if this has been said yet, but...


If USA wins gold every single damn Olympics, which makes them the best in the world, and then USA, who is the best in the world, has a league to determine who is the best out of the best (USA), then wouldn't it logically conclude that they are world champs? Yes they technically didn't play the world BUT Team USA does and wins basically every time.


His comments would make sense if any other country in the world gave us real problems. Spain has formed some pretty nice teams in the past, but come on breh it's not close at all. If you are the best in America you are the best in the world (at least when it comes to basketball, chill out UK/ Canada bruvs)

Folks not critical thinkers breh you wasting your whole time

When they say World Champions they aren't implying they won a World competition. They are implying they are the best team in the world and they have a right to feel that way because of the prestige of the league. It's not that damn serious

If you wanna call it American arrogance so be it. Arrogance is apart of sports. You want to be the best and play against the best.

This the same bullshyt that world baseball classic heads are on

Nobody cares about some other league outside of nba and mlb shyt is not soccer and these international people want it to be

There is no lebron James that is not playing in the nba but in soccer you have a ton of top players spread out they aren’t all in like English premier league or whatever it’s not comparable

If dudes want the nuggets to go around and destroy the China or Europe champs as a formality what’s the point? Getting guys hurt over this nonsense?

At the end of the day it’s just a semantics argument

 

[Osmar]

Noah Lyles will be front row

 

[LexDiamonds]

Do any of the c00ns/crackers care that mlb calls their championship "the world series"? Only hear this shyt for black leagues
