It's not really about the AAU system. It's about the game becoming more popular globally.

Nah. It's one country's talent vs every other country combined.

But the AAU system sucks either way.

Did Marv really just said that Markkanen is one of three Finnish players in history of pro basketball? :rofl:

Such a boring game. World is so much more under control.

TBF Ball is out. Fultz is in the matrix. Jackson turned it on too late.

Thats 3 of the top 4 guys from this class missing in action.

That's Kevin Harlan but yes. These guys are definitely drunk.

I'm 1000% sure that Bogdan never played in a game like this one. He's happy like a 5 year old :lol:

Let's be real, the US Team would be getting blownout here regardless of defence or not. World Team is just so much better on paper.

Yeah, Fultz/Lonzo/JJ being out hurts. Part of the reason why (might just be me though) this game doesn't feel as loaded with talent as in some other years.

KingFox · Post #131 » by **KingFox** » Sat Feb 17, 2018 3:26 am

they need to go back to the rookie vs sophomore format. why do they keep changing everything?

Team World has far, far more talent

But why is that? These guys are all the same years in the league as the USA team...drafted in the same classes, etc.

I don't think it's the AAU's fault that other parts of the world gave birth to Embiid & Simmons lol
