Team Asia vs Team South America 

Post#1 » by jojo4341 » Thu May 22, 2025 2:37 pm

Players listed here have at least citizenship, not necessarily born, in their respective countries. Otherwise, Asia would be lacking. In any case, which team has the better lineup? Any changes you'd make?

Team Asia:
PG - Jeremy Lin (Taiwan)
SG - Jordan Clarkson ( Philippines)
SF - Rui Hachimura (Japan)
PF - Yi Jianlian (China)
C - Yao Ming (China)

Team South America:
PG - Leandro Barbosa (Brazil)
SG - Manu Giniboli (Argentina)
SF - Andrés Nocioni (Argentina)
PF - Luis Scola (Argentina)
C - Nene (Brazil)

Personally, I think South America wins. They have slightly better defense and the superior backcourt, while Asia has the best overall player (Yao Ming). Shooting also goes slightly to South America. Anyway, it just shows that Europe and Africa are still ahead on overall talent, which means there's still a lot of potential for even more international players.

Manu is comfortably best player, and after Yao, the next best are probably Nene Scola Barbosa. So South America
