So the soft euros...

MVP: Greek
DPOY: French
ROY: Slovenian

1 of the 3 Sixth Man candidates: Lithuania

There are solid chances that a future MVP race includes maybe more european than american player: Giannis, Jokic, Doncic

And then of course you have african players on the rise too....

Time has changed so much in the past 20 years...

If you did one of those dna ancestry deals on Giannis im not sure how "European" he would be.

Born in greece, grew up in greece, learned and played basketball in greece and never went to an us college before the draft.

Yes, you can call him an european basketball player, even when his parents are nigerian.

What is "American"? What does one look like?

Wasn't there a feature where Giannis said he was Nigerian?

I thought the soft Euro talk has died after the 2011 season. Oh well.

Competition is good and you are sadly mistaken if you think any great player, American born or otherwise, is shaking in their sneakers right now.
