Whole NBA on Noah Lyles head rn

Lmao at up and down the lineup. The team had 4 all stars, 3 of whom just made their first one last season.

how many all-stars did Germany have?

Referring to critical thinking to argue the position that champions of a domestic competition should/could hold the title of “world champions” because of said country’s talent pool is insane, and it’s the type of stuff you’d genuinely only find here.

This website is incredible

Call a completion with players from all over the world “domestic” non critical thinking bruhs


Claim that an organizations talent pool being from different countries doesn’t equate to the competition being worldly yet claim that the FIBA Cup does because……the players play on teams
teams that represent the different countries they’re from low iq bruhs

A core tenet of sports and competition in general is that underdogs often overcome pre-established notions. It’s the reason why almost every culture in the world has a tale that mirrors David vs Goliath. It’s the reason why your parents most likely managed to get out of bed every morning to feed your dumb ass - because they believe they could overcome the odds - only for you to grow up an idiot and not understand that words have meaning.

NBA champions cannot by definition be “world champions” regardless of the talent variety and pool in the league. The NBA being the best domestic basketball competition also doesn’t translate into the US winning every international game or competition - as evidenced here.

It is the point of sports

Had the US won it all, it would have exceeded my expectations. Who knew that @Eric Brooks and push button @mbewane had the US team favored

The fact that you’re serious about this isn’t even shocking - just sad

The fact that you have no retort highlights your low iq that I mentioned previously

Lakers really got swept by a Euro plumber with the best German player, second best American FIBA player and real DPOY

 

[RickyGQ]

how many all-stars did Germany have?

I don’t understand, is y’all argument some any given Sunday shyt? Anybody can get beat at any point? This USA team was flawed in its construction and got exploited. Idk how this changes the argument that an NBA team with the best basketball player in the world would beat all the other already established non nba teams in the world. Y’all are being so obtuse it’s infuriating.

These guys really don't get that we don't care what it's called, no shyt we understand that all NBA competition is in the US, that's not the point we're making. These guys can have their victory lap because we took that L. But here are the facts, that was not the best team we could have fielded with little time to prep, the best players still do all play in the NBA, and before today and the L to Lithuania the US is 111-12 in international competition since 1992. I'll let these guys have their victory lap though.

I agree with the statement that our champions should not be called "world champions" .....unless Kobe is out there.

I didn't expect them to win it all, because I actually follow some FIBA basketball and know that NBA players don't automatically play well in actual World Championships. Actually some do, as 4 German NBA players just showed they are better than 12 US ones

I’m going to laugh if Schröder brings that FIBA cup back home to LA

Germany's best players were NBA players?

Who'da thunk it?
