The NBA Can't Solve This Serious Problem

- Identifying the future face of the NBA presents a multifaceted challenge, extending beyond sheer athletic prowess. While talents like Victor Wembanyama and Luka Doncic showcase exceptional skill, their marketability, charisma, and global basketball influence are equally critical considerations. The exclusion of European players such as Nikola Jokic and Giannis Antetokounmpo due to nationality underscores the NBA's ongoing struggle with global representation. Both players have already established themselves as superstars with the ability to attract fans worldwide. This exclusionary practice highlights a broader issue within the league's marketing strategy, as it may alienate a significant portion of the fanbase and limit potential growth opportunities in international markets. American-born prospects like Ja Morant, LaMelo Ball, and Anthony Edwards represent the NBA's hope for cultivating domestic talent. Their potential as marquee players is contingent upon factors such as marketability, leadership qualities, and team success. However, the league faces stiff competition in capturing the attention of younger audiences, especially with the rise of alternative sports and entertainment options.
Considering the possibility of a WNBA player emerging as the face of basketball, athletes like Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese epitomize the future of women's basketball. Their exceptional talent and potential to captivate a global audience highlight the NBA's need to expand its inclusivity efforts and embrace the growing popularity of women's sports. Failure to do so could result in missed opportunities for growth and relevance in an increasingly diverse and competitive landscape. Ultimately, the NBA's quest to identify its next global icon necessitates a reevaluation of traditional norms and a more inclusive approach to talent recognition. By leveraging the diverse pool of players from around the world and embracing the growing prominence of women's basketball, the league can position itself for sustained success and relevance in the ever-evolving sports industry..

Blowing off Ant like that with how he’s playing is crazy lol
Fr, after LeBron retires (assuming he will) ant WILL be the new face of the league and it's not even an argument cause his popularity and skill set has increased by a lot this season, especially this postseason
@@JAMNyt321 first thing he's gotta do is get his weenie off them IG groupies, i don't think the NBA would want a blatant womanizer (as goes for 95% of the league) as the face of the league. same can't be said for magic cause the 80s was a completely different time
@@JAMNyt321 i think dkm is right on this one... its gonna be caitlin clark.
@@JAMNyt321 "assuming he will" 🤣🤣 I hope Lebron don't retire HAHAHA we will see him at his 60 running down the court with an inhaler in every dead ball. 🤣🤣🤣
Facts he just chatting
Jokic is like modern-day Duncan
Great comparison, I think we won’t appreciate how great he really was until he retires
Imagine if bron did it. He will headline every single news outlet, with every little details about his stats.
YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW GOOD TIM DUNCAN WAS OH MY GOD😭😭😭
Jokic is not close to Duncan
Hell no, both great players, but ain’t similar in their style of play at all
I would’ve agreed to this video two weeks ago. Since then, a man wearing the #5 has me getting flashbacks of a certain player I wasn’t alive to watch 😭
They're trying to make Anthony Edwards The Face
If there were ever a women’s player to have the potential to take the WNBA to relevance, Caitlin Clark is it. They CANNOT mess that up.
W take
I'm a die hard Iowa Hawkeye fan as a virtually lifelong resident of Iowa City. I got to see her a couple of years ago before she got huge. She was amazing then. She was transcendent the last couple of years. I hope she does elevate the WNBA as you say.
That's cuz Caitlin used to be Chris Clark
@@mattrose1365 No....
But the WOMEN IN THE WNBA WILL DEFINITELY MESS THAT UP😮 THEY ARE ALREADY STARTING TO BE LITTLE HER INSTEAD OF HOPPING ON THE MONEY TRAIN AND COMPLIMENTING,PROMOTING HER SO SHE COULD GET NEW VIEWERS TO THE LEAGUE. ONLY THEN THEY MIGHT GET MONEY FOR THE LEAGUE, THEN THEY MIGHT GET THAT RAISE OF MILLIONS PER YEAR THAT THEY THINK THEY DESERVE FOR DOING NOTHING
The answer is obviously Wemby. You’re doing mental gymnastics to keep his name out of your argument because you know it discredits your “anti-international” claim and destroys your entire 20 minute video. He is 20 years old and is unanimously known by all nba fans and media as having the potential to be the greatest player of all time, if not a top 5 player. You cant just say “since luka isnt the face of the league, then wemby cant be.” He checks all the criteria you listed (marketable, mvps and dpoy potential, championship potential) and you brought his name up only one time in your entire video and it was simply to write him off because “Luka isnt the face of the league and he’s international so it cant be wemby.”
I like the way he illustrated his point that European players are overlooked to be the face of NBA. However, like her or not Clark, he's capturing a major demographic that had never been touched before! Men or Women college sports
Yeah this man tripping, it’s obviously Victor Wembanyama
Can't talk about championship potential when a player hasn't made the playoffs yet.
Yeah it’s obviously Wemby. This dude tripping
Most modern day TH-cam videos are tabloid trash. It's your average internet user's National Enquirer imitation.
People don't usually know WTF they're talking about.
The NBA better get used to having foreign faces, SGA, Luka, Joker, Giannis, Victor and Embiid are the faces and long my the foreigners dominate "indomitable" USA
Embiid is basically American
@@remulsive9558Dude no he isnt he wasnt raised here he came in highschool when he was basically grown, closer to grown then a child
@@CahlilWesson He’s been in America for more years than he was in Cameroon lol. Basically learnt basketball here, and has citizenship.
Anthony Edwards’s is the best player he’s American and embid is playing for the us what you thought he was gonna play for his colonizer France lol west Africa countries ain’t going no more they literally are kicking France out of their country shit even the us got kicked it of Niger pay attention
he's from cameroon cmon
It’s a great argument for her to be the face of the nba… except she isn’t in the NBA💀
"There are more people watching women's college basketball than men's..."
No, how many games were televised? Only the very top women's games were broadcast. How many games were these averages based upon?
yeah.. there are still womens games that are getting more views than the mens. like the national championship game.
came for the thumbnail, stayed for the video. really well put and sound arguments were made. amms remember you in 3 years time when this is confirmed
I don't think its because they aren't American. Look at someone like Arnold Schwarzenegger who is Austrian. He was massively popular with American audiences in the 80's and 90's because he just had the "it" factor. Guys like Jokic, Giannis, and Luka are remarkably talented and all-time greats, sure, but they are all just missing something. Just because someone or something isn't American doesn't mean it can't work in the US- anime, sushi, The Beatles, AC/DC, Harry Potter, K-Pop, yoga, pizza, etc. If there is anyone that will be the face of the NBA in the next few years, my money is on Ant or Wemby.
Luka or jokic do not put asses in seats. Don’t care who doesn’t like it, that’s what it is. They’re great players but like you said, they just don’t have “it”. My 58 yr old mother has no clue who jokic or doncic even are. She knows MJ, She knows Lebron. You can’t be the face by just being good, it takes other factors too
@@MacMittens-js9mbso your mom doesn't know current players but the biggest names in the last 30 years? I can say the same about my mom and Grandma. It's really not that surprising man. Plenty of old folks can name Larry Bird without knowing who Jayson Tatum is
I disagree. Wemby is good, and so is Ant man, but their game is quiet. That's the problem. I currently see the players that are causing the most stir up Jalen Brunson, Ja Morant, Luka donic, but where luka falls short is the game is just a bit quiet like Tatum he's a great player leading a decent celtic team why isn't he suggested is because his games are quite we don't often see the quick talker that can back it up anymore in these players I think right now that's the difference however there also needs to be a balance between rivalry and violence can't let it get away like what happened with Ja so right now the most balanced rivalry is reese vs clark until ja ant, Jason, luka, have a passionate display and rivalry I don't see it changing much one of the biggest things most forget about Jordan, player's on his own team as well as an opponent team consider him a ass hole. But it was his passion determination grit that made him seem that way.
@@MacMittens-js9mbalso Luka is a massive baby he literally whines and moans after every possession even if the play goes their way. Don’t get me wrong he still top 3 in the league but he isn’t very likable.
They put The Mav games on the prime time national game as often as they can. The only Lakers get more national broadcast games. Luka gets the views. When I talk to people who don't watch Basketball they know who Luka is. Luka game is entertaining and people can Identify with his play style more the someone that only know for pretty Dunks.
This was an amazingly well made video. Keep it up!
Thanks a ton!
Victor Wembenyama
Head and shoulders above hakeem seems a bit disrespectful imo. No one ever is head and shoulders above him tbh
This guy is a clown lol. Hakim is arguably the best center ever so no one is head and shoulders above him even if ya think they are better
"LeBron has never been involved into any kind of controversy". Yeah, LeBalco Juice says "Hi".
Exactly lol
lol you hanging you hat on KG comment 🤣🤣. Pure comedy 🤣💀💀
Well first of all face of NBA now should be No RAPE CASE,NO DIVORCE THAT TOOK 10-15YRS OF YOUR SALARY , NO DRUGS AND DRIVING ,NO GUN VIOLATION 😂😂😂 THAT IS THE STANDARD LEBRON PUT . SO IT WILL BE HARD FOR THE NEXT FACE OF NBA to be nba face
So if LeBron set the standard does that mean it's a required to be a BITCH about everything too?
Anthony Edward's is the next American face of the NBA
@@jeffreyseverson135 too early to say. LUKA and Jokic is much better than Edwards... And they already shown that.. if Kyrie doesn't have that attitude he is much more prominent to set against Edwards.
@@markosano3289kyrie is 32 wtf are you talking about
@@StreamerSnippetsShow even he is 32 he is much greater than Zion the walking injury so WTF are you talking.. Zion is walking injury and if any team would like an injury prone player that owner is Brainless
Its also because lebum wont just fade away. His going down screaming. "Foul" " oh come on" . I honestly could see the catlin clark thing happening. Going to hold you to this one. Great breakdown.
It is SOOOOO TRUE! She is revolutionary because her style of play has revolutionized the game. She has turned basketball from females trying to play like males into basketball - women's style. This change allows the ladies to reach THEIR fullest potential, which now makes it exciting to watch. She has created a "species" of basketball, which is overshadowing the "same old/same old" of the men's game.
No defense? That style?
Lol I ain't watch one of her games and don't plan on watching no dam wnba
@@Blake-ld7mx If you have not watched Caitlin Clark play basketball then you have missed out on exciting, great playing! I never enjoyed watching women's bball until seeing Clark. Currently, I enjoy seeing her games more than the men.
@@prycelessly hell nah I'm good
@@Blake-ld7mx lol - OK. 😊✌🏻🏀
Im lovin the Honest content, Non-Narrative driven and raw talk and the acceptance of what it is and how it is
Great video. Like to see a follow up
Bro predicted luka😮😮😮
Clark is making no more noise. Its only been 2 weeks
Gen Z American players in the NBA are being spoon fed, enabled and not being hold accountable for not improving their game.
@@duranmendez6360 💯
watch the thunder?
What r u even talm bout 😂😂😂🤦🏾
Is it just my headphones or is the audio on this video slightly distorted?
this video is the best I ever watched from you you actually made your research GG keep this up and dont favor the ball brothers anymore that was getting old and annoying
thank you means a lot
Clark does have that pull factor 100% going for her. Funny how she was beating out NBA games. No clue why Adam Silver didn't get fired
They want the face to be a darker skinned individual who can give highlight plays and who the media thinks is fun and has a great personality such as Anthony Edwards
Luka needs more advertisement, movies and children foundations.
Small market teams…winning….love it!!!!!
12:46 🤦🏽♂️ WOW. DKM? You living up to ya acronym today.
Y is that
Good video but the simple reason is Black vs White in America 💯🔥🔥
It’s all going down we have a new : magic ,AI ,Jordan ,Kareem , and a new Shaq
At the end of the day its all about highlights and doing something thats out of this world. Most players now days are great offensively and being overlooked how good they are, however they dont have that wao factor. MJ and Kobe has great foot work and that sexy fade away, lebron's athletic ability and crazy dunks and chase down blocks. Wembany is starting to look like that next dude, if he stays healthy.
ANT EDWARDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ANT is the obvious answer. The only reason he isnt the face already is that he is too young to give mature interviews. In 2 years, it will change FAST
WTF?!? What is that picture of “Magic” and “Bird” next to each other while lined up for a free throw? Anyone know? A movie 🤷🏻♂️
Getting really tired of a Trans man being touted as the #1 female player
😂
Jokic only cares about hus team and winning.
Dont forget horses... he cares more about his horses then the NBA honestly.
Nicola Jokic is one of the greatest ever.
facts
Fr being a girlie outside of US and binging on all Caitlin basketball content, when I've hardly watched any basketball games is something big for the NBA.
Ngl if the WNBA doesn’t back Caitlyn heavy, they’re through
The League wont have a foreign player be the face of the NBA... They are wishing that the new face of the NBA be Ant or Shai...
Shai is Canadian not American.
@@emanoluin2723Canada is technically part of North America
Caitlyn Clark wouldn’t even average 1ppg in men’s college basketball, let alone playing with nba players. And she’d get locked up on defense by a D3 college men’s player.
As a Wolves fan I want it to be Edwards. Wemby is amazing no doubt, and has the best luck in being paired with Pop who will take his time to develop him. If it were any other team Victor would potentially end up flaming out like Yao Ming. He is a giant, but his thin frame could cause real problems without a winning organization to build his skills and body gradually. He'd have been destroyed physically on lesser teams like Charlotte
7 footers are hard to Identify with. Their game is only possible with other 7 footers. Kareem was admired but no one at the time emulated him in the school yard. With the media now a days. it is even more difficult for see them playing like a center.
This your best work right here 👏
Appreciate that
Maybe Luka needs to be a NBA champion. Jokic’s issue is because he doesn’t show passion for the game.
U think he lacks passion?? I think its because he's quite doesn't talk trash 😂😂😂 well come to think about it 🤔 your right 😂😂 the passion like he doesn't want the title of FACE OF THE LEAGUE
Passion? Why because he doesn’t wanna be a clown on social media and cares more about winning
It's pretty simple on who is going to be the Face Of The League after LeBron Jokic and Luka, both are amazing players but don't have the personality to be the Face, Giannis, Kawhi, AD etc. are too old now I think the NBA needs someone at least 25 and younger to be the face, and most of them don't have the right personality either, so I think it is going to be either wemby or ant which I think it is ant because he is very likable, has an interesting and exciting game and has a great personality to be the face and he is entering his play has skyrocketed lately and is closer to his prime then wemby I think the other players will amazing players and be very popular I just think ant is going to be the face.
Ok so we just spent half the video calling the media and nba racist? That is not what i clicked for😭
Truth hurts... but it will still be the truth!
they better respect the nba players if not we back to the start again
I’m gonna be honest every person who knows basketball and knows who should be the face of the league know that young players like sga Luka and many others that are foreign know that they are the face of the nba
They’ll push Cooper Flagg next, but he’s not good enough
SGA is an international player as well. People forget he is canadian.
True but still kinda American like he’s not from the US but he’s not overseas like wemby luka and then
Solid take, awesome vid. And yea, I wish international wasn't a derogatory term :(
-Embid is injury prone and struggles to make it past the second round. The best ability for a player to have is availability.
-Giannis plays for a small market team and despite his play style being entertaining the Warriors with Curry and the Cavs with Lebron overshadowed the first half of his prime since they were better teams, more exciting, and dynastic.
-Luka puts up great stats and is decently entertaining to watch play. But he’s no MVP since his team finishes at the middle of the pack every season and they’ve never made a deep playoff run. LBJ was in a similar situation with a subpar team during his first stint with the Cavs and still led them to the finals.
-Jokic is boring to watch play despite being immensely talented. His championship ring from last year is not that impressive since the nuggets played subpar matchups. They’re playing a great team in the playoffs for the first time in a while and they’re getting embarrassed.
Anthony Edwards is going to be the new face of the league. The Timberwolves are on pace to make the Confrence Finals at least and likely the NBA finals led by him and he hasn’t even entered his prime yet. His babymomma drama situation is nothing in comparison to Kobe’s seggs assault case and MJ being forced to temporarily retire early in the middle of his prime due to off court antics.
It's ironic he has that whole "I don't wanna bring a kid into this world" thing with one chick while his GF was like six months pregnant already 😂
Plain AMERICAN BIAS reeks so bad in the NBA especially in the "media" section.
Im European. The face of the NBA should be American.
its Ant. Just watch.
@@xaynizn6394shit mate you might be right as wolves could actually beat nuggets at his rate
Why?
Not it should be whoever is the best player and is marketable regardless of where he comes from
@@uwin23 no, he should be American. End of.
Luka is white, Jokic is white. That does not fit the narrative.
Yep. It couldn’t be more clear
How can you day Lebron was supposed to pass yhe totch to Curry when Curry is only 4 years younger than him and was lebrons biggest rival by far? That makes no sense. Also, Steph has veen the co face of the league with Lebron since 2015
The only two players it will end up being is Luka or Anthony Edwards
You have to play different and have unique style to gain fans. Caitlin has done that. Something tells me more people will start watching the WNBA than the NBA coz it's exciting.
I don't know about that most people don't even like watching women sports
Keep dreaming😂😂😂 who would like to watch a WNBA a girl playing look like a men and act like a men 😂😂😂 but it's hard for them to dunk 😂😂😂 who will idolized these lesbian 😂😂😂 I'm simply saying majority of WNBA are lesbian which I don't think parent would like them to be followed 😂😂😂
U trippn...
Are you blind?
Haha you can’t be serious😂
I have never watched NBA. This is the first season I started watching why ??? Not because Jokic, giannis, ant I started watching because of WEMBY
HE IS ALREADY CARRYING THE LEAGUE. He and only he is bringing in new fans.
No more discussion
By all metrics Giannis has a strong case for being the most popular non Lebron/Steph player in the league
Giannis is getting old though
No
I do agree with a lot of points in the video but I legit feel like making Caitlin the face is an incredibly risky move, because that means the media MUST talk about WNBA a lot more frequently, which would be a huge shift in how they usually do things and their audience
In my opinion is going to be SGA or Wemby. I like to use the 2k series covers as reference for "faces" of the NBA, and at one point Giannis was heavily marketed by it and the media, so it's not so much that they are "Europeans" if you catch my drift. Wemby is definetly the better candidate thanks to his potential, but the only thing I see holding him back is his team's performance
It cracks me up people don't want SGA as the face because he's Canadian. Technically he's North American but the NBA is so weird about these things
i dont like Luka for 1 simple fact. he plays like Harden used to...... fishes for fouls. its boring
He also needs to get to the finals, and win, to be the face of the nba. This video is a bit exaggerated. There have been a lot of players who were close to being the face of the nba. But you have to actually be feared or revered by all players. Kobe was that, Jordan was that. Lebron is respected by all. Derrick Rose could have been that. Ant Edwards is a two way player who can be that, with the charisma and the bag, and dunking ability. But hes gotta get some rings to be the face, and avoid getting hurt. I dont think people feared KD or steph curry.
@Chris-hr2uj yea hopefully he wins a ring this postseason
I feel like I'm getting Deja-Vu. Is this a re-upload?
nope 😂
Lukas not mentioned because his teams under preform
It’s not about country. It’s about race. People can keep lying to themselves if they want to but that’s reality
SGA is Canadian 😂
this is a very smart video
Great break down and spot on
😂😂
CC is giving me WNBA fever , cant wait for her next game
Its anthony edwards perid
Caitlin Clark can meet wherever and where ever she wants. I simp
i bet on wemby and ant to be the next wilt and jordan, they're the next faces of the nba
I like this take but I think you speaking too soon lol. Her true skills were exposed when she had a REAL defender on her. She’s not as good as they make her seem and you’ll see it when the season starts.
Jason Tatum
Bro you define genius i stg
wym
@@DKM_Sports sorry I was high when I commented but honestly I wasn’t really expecting a video like this I’m hungover too rn so that’s why it sounds weird
9:50 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Really happy for womens basket, the haters were getting annoying.
Jordan was not a household name before he joined the NBA. And Bird and Magic was still young when Jordan came. Curry overshadowed LeFlop years ago especially since he's beaten him three times in the Finals.
Yeah MJ didn't become a household name. The college games didn't show off his skills. It was the NBA that made his name.
Ant is gonna be the next face then wemby gonna be the biggest one
Even better video🎉
Binge watching?
@@DKM_Sports YYYYEEEEEEPPPP😁
I agree
Wembanyama has a chance to be the face of NBA
7 footers are hard to ID with. They are respected but hard to get to people rabid about.
Euro league is the next big thing for basketball
actually lebron was in taco tuesday controversy
one word why Giannis, Nikola nor Luka are not the face of NBA: Xenophobia
LD has Won "W" nothing but the crowd and always limpy...
Magic and Bird, MJ, KB and Bron didn't win a championship or even in their prime when they were starting to become the faces of the league. They eventually did but the interest around theses players were by the fans and the league capitalized on them. Jokic and Giannis aren't as social as the other great players in the league and probably because they are foreigners. Players like Anthony Edwards are not only great young talents but he is also not afraid and he is willing to be in the spot light unlike Jokic. It's less about American vs European and its more about a business that at the end of the day they need to sell tickets and jerseys. Also Luka hasn't won anything either but you mentioned him like he has accomplished anything more than James Harden when he was scoring or Westbrook when he become MVP and they were never the faces of the league.
Honesty that was the first time I ever watched a Women basketball highlight was because of Her
Bro said has any body done anything between , Tatum, Edward’s and sga then asked if they have done anything yet to be the face of the league and then says Luka who hasn’t accomplished jack shit.
This is what YALL don't understand the joker and the Greek freak were allowed to Develop and become the great players they are today.
When they first got into the league, nobody was expecting for them to put up Allstar number... and They didn't have no pressure on them when they first got into the NBA..HELL I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THAT THE JOKER BEEN IN THE NBA FOR 10YRS.. Lebron james and steph curry Been a part of the big stage for almost a decade straight.
The joker and the Greek freak just now start winning after being in the NBA for 10 plus years, so that's why they don't get the credit that they deserve. Cause they haven't been Premium All stars from the day they stepped on the NBA floor it's levels to this s***
Are we just going to ignore the fact of how excluded curry was from this conversation? Bro changed the game we know today. Btw the way Edward’s is playing he looks like the new face
Curry is 36
Changed it for the worse. For every Steph we get two dozen Trae Young's and Jordan Pooles
All star weekend ill put Jocic & Angel reese vs Caitlin and Wemby 2v2 Winner gets 1 mill apiece
😳 that’s a genius idea
would B KD if the NBA didn't screw him over 2 upgrade LBJ
Next face should bring back what`s missing in the nba: defense! Nba has been losing viewership bec of this 3 pt offense friendly era for more than a decade. The next face ahould bring defense back to bring fans back. Wemby maybe?
The European disrespect is real
Wemby V.S Ant
It's Wemby way more than Luka. Honestly, I dont' see Luka's game leading to more than one championship, if that. It's his style, ball dominance, and lack of great D. I just don't see it and there is no way they will make a European the face of the league. Won't happen, except for maybe Wemby but I still doubt that.
