Whole NBA on Noah Lyles head rn

I'd be down with that.

It would be similar to the Football Association Cup in England. We all know a big club will win but it's a great way to scout talent and play role players/rookies

If it's well organized, it'd be great. The best records from each league play in an in season tournament. Prize money helps struggling teams, too. We could probably reduce the 82 game season and still manage to get players rested for playoffs.

ok,so you don't believe the Celtics are the best team in America until they play the other 10 lesser leagues in a series?

Mongolia is just an example. Saudi was in the same world cup group as Argentina and beat them. Argentina won the whole thing. But that doesn't mean Saudi was dog shyt. South Sudan almost beat the US, but if we looked at both teams on paper, the US should've beat the brakes off them.

As good as any team is, another team could have its day.

We already have the FIBA world cup, Germany are the Champs. I want to see basketball clubs from everywhere play the NBA's best. I mean even the NBA's best don't want to play each other with load management and DNPs for seemingly dumb reasons. The game is becoming boring, imo.

Every preseason teams from Europe, Australia, China, etc. come play NBA teams. More often than not those games suck. The overseas team gets smoked, and this is with preseason intensity and going against backups

Every so often they get a win. Like last season, the reigning Euroleague champs Real Madrid did manage to beat the Mavs…with no Luka & Kyrie

There’s nothing I see in those games every year that makes me think “This is exciting, we need more of this”. Talent gap is jarring when you watch it most games

Nah, the '24 celtics aint true champions until they beat Raptors 905

They gotta beat the Guangdong Flying Rabbits to prove some sort of stupid point

literally none of the teams in the olympics would even make the play-in, but apparently US has to beat them to be world champs

this is what happens when you entertain smart-dumb nikkas

 

[Braman]

Yup. Because this is the cloth I’m cut from which is obviously foreign to you

I’m sorry, but you are smart enough to know that the NBA is viewed as being synonymous with being black. The attacks to the league have made it very apparent. So was some clown to throw the league under the bus as a black man to benefit himself, I’m going to call him out.

I just bust out laughing

So, wasn’t that so called ‘cloth’ you’re cut from sullied when yall jumped on and continue to jump on another BLACK MAN for his opinion?!?

And what’s even worse is, as a black man, your lack of knowledge. He said ‘I love the US, at times’. That was everyone’s context clues that he’s not aiming at the NBA , he’s aiming at American hubris and arrogance in general. It’s a balance I’d assume we all understand: being American but understanding how fukked up America is, no?

And I will repeat, PATRICE ONEAL MADE THE SAME COMMENTARY @2:09



What is the title of that clip?

Americans refering to ‘world champions’ is bigger than the NBA, it’s about America hubris. So not only did you catch feelings out of place, you don’t even understand the totality of that statement. As you’re standing up for a league who’s teams are 95% white owned, arenas 100% white owned, managed by a white commissioner, over a team that won (Nuggets) who is white owned, white coached, and who’s best player was white and majority of roster was foreigners and mullatos.

And then have the audacity, the unmitigated gaul to evoke the late great Don Cornelius in your bullshyt. Ngga take that shyt down

I'm going to jump on a Black man whose using his opinion to propel himself off the backs other Blacks.

Tim Scott and Jason Whitlock have opinions too. Your simpleton post would give them safety, even as they step all over us to elevate themselves.

Blowout is kind of a strech. I watched the Real Madrid game, it was close and pretty entertaining to me. I'd rather watch 10 of those games than Piston games.

I promise I can kill this argument with one question.

When/if Team USA wins gold, who are the world champions? Team USA or the Celtics?

@NYC Rebel @Don Homer @cartierhoe

 

[LiveFromLondon]

You dikk eat Americans so much you constantly using the American smilie!

All while you use the English language

I’m being obtuse but you’re claiming after beating a team led by Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, the Celtics need to beat a team led by Kendrick Nunn and Juancho Hernangomez to prove they’re the actually the best team in the world?

Like I said before, y’all are throwing common sense out the window just to cling to a technicality

Nobody is disputing the Celtics are the best basketball team in the world, just they can't be World Champions by winning a domestic Championship. Can they called American/NBA Champions by winning the ECF only

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

All while you use the English language

And you African so you sonning yaself more than anything!


You don't even rep yo own continent!

What language did you originally speak before you dikk rode the British?



Imagine going out ya way to speak a different language than ya grandparents!

nikka i'm asking you to get clarity: can the Celtics claim the best team in America unless they play the other 10 lesser leagues in a series?

@NYC Rebel @Don Homer @cartierhoe

Celtics. Team USA hasn't even played against an 11-seed caliber NBA team. Celtics dominated the world's best talent for 8 months straight.

They already claim world champs, why can't they claim American champs? If all leagues want to create a trophy for best in America, I'd be down with it. This begging the question shyt is not constructive in a dialogue.

 

[Don Homer]

yall hell

apparently Team USA playing g-league level talent for the last 2 weeks is supposed to be some kinda "gotcha!"
