Does the NBA not like foreign players??

[goPaTTY!]

From what i saw in several websites and some tweets coming from american basketball organizations (e.g. nba, insidehoops, espn etc) about the win tonight, they dont mention Patty or some not even Parker, they mention Green.

This is one of the tweets.
InsideHoops.com ‏ @InsideHoops (http://twitter.com/#%21/InsideHoops) Danny Green scores 19 as Spurs destroy Cavaliers by 35. Read http://www.insidehoops.com/blog/?p=9603

And from ESPN website

So they dont want foreigners to get fame or what?? propaganda!!

Green was cut by the Cavs. So his return to Cleveland IS the big story here.

I think you're on to something. Guys like Dirk, Deng, Nash, Rubio, Ming, Mutumbo, et. al can't get anyone to recognize the fact that they're good basketball players because they're foreign.

In light of all the media coverage the Spurs get, it's a travesty that Patty Mills hasn't been getting the kind of attention he deserves after helping beat the Cavaliers.

we know your a patty homer but patty basically padded his stats
and the first post pretty much covered it
green was drafted around the 50th by the cavs and rotted away on their bench
cavs could have used a SG with his skills during the lebron era
but instead they let him go and hes starting on the best team in the nba

The NBA loves foreign players :lol

Lin is foreign???


That aside, I generally applaud your wonderfully sarcastic answer!

Since your new and obviously an Australlian, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt not knowing the history of the Spurs...

This is a small market team... Even with the Spurs spectaular play, ESPN is loathe to even mention in passing our wins of late... Get used to it. In fact, revel in it..... Its called "off the radar" and most of us long-term Spurs fans have come to embrace it as a blessing.

Who is the better assassin? The one everyone has heard about and tries to prepare for? or the one no one pays attention to until its too late?
