The Olympics will be interesting. The difference between teams like Australia/Spain/Serbia and the US is that overseas players are developed from a young age to play a role in their club’s senior team and a lot of them are used to being bench, then gradually getting a role in the team and some becoming stars. Whereas in the US players are mostly developed as individuals so they can get college scholarships/go pro. This US team is made up almost entirely of guys who have pretty much been the first or 2nd option their entire lives. I still think they are the favourites, solely because they will have at least 4 of the best 5 players on the court at all times. But if they lose, it will be because of their style of play and inability to play actual team basketball.
and there’s also the fact that international teams are hungry asf
@Jovan Djordjevic imagine if it was still Yugoslavia bro..
@Wayne Zoroja đĽđĽ
word!
@LLkingProductions L a guy from Spain (me) liked this comment
This video was exceptionally good. And wow. I’ve never seen that clip of David Stern before. Talk about a passive aggressive burn.
“America’s game”?
Dr Naismith was Canadian, David.
Nobody seemed to hear the guy yell “Hurry up!”. I felt like he said that to stall and piss that guy off which is why they were laughing.
Honestly that clip is taken out of context considering the tension between US and USSR
@Nifty Fuzzball Nothing surprising when you hear him talking about 1970’s Slovenia… Come on, Jimmy, that country didn’t existed at the time.
@Tom Mulligan Was about to comment the same thing.
3:43 dam, I didn’t even know the Olympics took place in 202
was about to comment this lmao
They started way before 202 but I don’t think basketball was a sport then đ¤Ł
Personally I believe the Sabonis reaction was from the announcer taking minute-long breaks between each line, just to say a âUSSRâ player during the Cold War. Otherwise an outstanding video as alwaysđ
Yeah it wasn’t just foreign born, it was THAT country that he was born in. I doubt it was a similar reaction when hakeem or dikembe were drafted lol.
“And if you ask me, that’s how it should be” absolutely agree
But also “this starting to get ugly” in the title
@Bu Tahir Ugly for the US.
@The Dynamic Flashy For Team USA, but for American people its great to have better level of play in their national league
@Bu Tahir hell yeah, we couldnât be happier here in the US, itâs beautiful to see, and has me excited for the Olympics
THEYRE TAKING OUR JOBS!!!
They werenât freaking out ab sabonic cause he was a foreign player, they were freaking out because an NBA team had just drafted a communist from the Soviet Union in the middle of the Cold War đ¤Śââď¸đ
@DC BTNA So you are saying that 14 years before the “21st century” nobody in the US knew that the Baltic nations were occupied by the Soviets, and that they were neither “communists” nor “Russians”, but actually oppressed in their own countries? Well, when I think about it, you may be right. ‘Muricans have never been known for having a clue about what goes on in the rest of the world.
Watch the documentary and educate yourself.
@Ezra Dominic Cold War Lives on FOREVER!!!
sabonis not sabonic, hes not balkan…dude
Yeah exactly. I doubt Dikembe or Hakeem had the same reactions from the crowd.
@Ezra Dominic thats not gonna change the fact that it was in the cold war no point in checking facts for that
It’s amazing that Hakeem and embiid played their first basketball at age 15
also me. except im still 15. but its really inspiring to know that african players like hakeem and embiid started the way i did.basketball is my life fr. and i hope that it can expand in africa as well.
A great point and this was actually true for a lot of young Nigerian (i know embiid isnt nigerian) who were born in those days the usually started out with football and if you got tall then you would move to basketball my dad has some pretty funny stories about guys who were insane baskball players that just never tried playing until College age.
@Gregory Kitaba Manga keep working man
Bring these dudes into the nba, literally makes it so much more fun. I love seeing foreign dudes coming in and making the competition even crazier
“Ridiculous, just ridiculous” says some old lady from Portland when the Trail Blazers select one of the Top 5 players in European Basketball history.
It was ridiculous. He never came to the NBA when he was drafted so it was a wasted draft pick (at the time).
they were more racist back thing, we had a deep hatred for the Soviet Union
@ASAP Carti those are petty things. The biggest reason is that they all know he cant come to the NBA at that time. So it is a waste. and the cold war.
DraĹžen PetroviÄ anyone?
He was from the Soviet Union. If you didnât know we had some beef with them back in the 70âs.
I didnt know arvydas sabonis was such a truck, crazy I only saw him when he was already “broken”
