yeah, I remember in 2006 when teams like italy, lithuania and greece were playing 2015-2019 golden state warrior ball before it even *existed* in the NBA. Tons and tons of screens all designed to get the best look at a 3 pointer, and man could they shoot the lights out.

tbh yes the world used knowledge to beat usa. USA has great athleticism and freakish but players are more dumb. euros r smart and use brains r compensate for physical weakness and slowness. brains over brawn

I read a recent AMA on Reddit by Toni Kukoc. Actually within the past week

He said in the European Pro Leagues there is more 2on2 and 3on3 during practice to focus on fundamentals.

It was also pointed out during Kobe's appearance on 'Last Dance' that the NBA is younger. This is also the case in College Basketball. So the athlete with more god given talent will usually prosper. Consider Grant Hill wasn't the 1st (or even 2nd) scorer at Duke til Junior year. Zion was the scorer from Day 1.

Rookie season in the NBA. Yah Grant and Zion's points and rebounds are similar but Hill had significantly more assists and blocks. Grant was the more well rounded offensive player. Defensively not very close. At Duke, Grant was forced to contribute beyond just scoring the basketball.

[lefty]

European/non americans have always bren great at bball
If the NBA signed them earlier people would have seen that

It sucks that in 92 there was no more USSR or Yugoslavia, they were strong basketball nafions

Also that Brazilian nigga Oscar Shmidt torched the US in the 80s , too badche didn’t play in the NBA. An NBA team wanted to sign him but under the condition that he would not play for his national team; he refused

USA has always been known for poor shot selection, the best USA-based NBA players are just freak athletes who are rich-grade versions of the guys you see playing pickup ball on the streets who do nothing but dribble, dribble, chuck.
