Why are we moving like intertnatuonal players don’t need American players and vice versa? Why do we need to take a league that’s been about inclusion for the last 50 years and try to make it about division all the time? Save that crap for the olympics.

It means American players will be popular, but the international players will have the most titles.

“Europeans are hard workers, Americans care about popularity”

Why is it so hard for people understand that both things can be true:

1. there is now more international basketball talent than ever before, in large part due to the efforts the NBA made to promote the game internationally

2. There's still (and will continue to be) a lot of American talent.

It's not a zero sum game, just because we have Jokic, Doncic, Giannis, Embiid etc in the league now, doesn't mean that the US isn't going to be producing a massive amount of young talent moving forward.

Also, the clout thing is just stupid. Just because players are marketing themselves on social media doesn't mean that they don't care about the game. There is no player in the history of the game that was marketed more than MJ, and he turned out OK in the end.

Stupid comment, stupid thread.

This “rivalry” between American born players and internationally born players is literally only “a thing” on this message board.

I’ve never seen anyone really care anywhere else.

Colin is a complete moron, the guy makes up **** for clickbait. People bitch about Stephen A at least he makes more logical sense most of the time.

We have seen some great Euro players recently we still have a ton of great American born players in the league.

I like how nobody takes Cowherd serious until he fits their narrative

Overall American players are better, but the gap is closing and the top of the league is full of Euro stars. He isn't way off, although his wording is a bit silly. Euro players used to be seen more of a novelty. Even the star Euros were like "ooo so that one is good." Now it is just standard that a Euro can be as good as an American. We are to the point where Wemby's nationality wasn't even a thing many focused on.
