Jeremy Lin is technically U.S.-born, but what I find the most odd about him in this video is that he didn't get a biography narrative just as everyone else did, for a guy who made his mark in NBA's 75 year history. Even the penguins got a short narrative.
Exactly. I wanted to say Jeremy Lin is American. If Giannis is considered Greek, the. For sure Jeremy Lin should have been put in NA. Though if that were the case, he wouldn’t have made the list. Lol. So maybe keep Lin in Asia with an asterisks. Haha.
Yeah I will let it slide, he is first-generation US citizen in his family, but it's ok to lump him into the Asiatic player group, because he gave huge attention to this league. But I still give the video thumbs down for not giving him a bio, while everyone else got one.
He is eligible for Taiwanese citizenship though through his parents. The same way Clarkson was born in the US but also qualified for a Philippine passport through his mom.
Unfortunately there just isn’t enough notable Asian players for them to remember. Despite basketball explosion in popularity, its equipment requirements made the game inaccessible to poor countries with little infrastructure. The real reason why football, or soccer is still the most popular sport is due to its ability to be played on whatever terrain, as long as a ball is involved. There’s no need for a court and hoop, the ball don’t need to be sufficiently inflated or be able to be bounced.

Por ahora Pau Gasol ha sido más importante que jokic sin duda. Steve Kerr (Líbano) mejor que Lin o Claxton. Karl-Anthony Towns, Al Horford centro-sur América.
@@kcaustin904 A man who won two NBA Championships, 6-time All Star, 3 times European champion with two MVPs, 1 World Championship being the MVP, Rookie of the Year (2002), Two times Second Best Team in NBA and also two times in the Third Best Team in NBA...
@@jesusercilla5405 He has played a full career. Jokic has already surpassed his accolades solely because of back to back MVPs. Only twelve others have ever done that. Also, championships and deep playoff runs are a team effort not one player’s.
Just imagine the teamplay between Team Europe... Tony starting the plays around the arc, Luka from Deep and mid, Giannis driving like a freight train, Dirk with the spacing and post shots, Jikola dividing the plays from down low... unbeatable
Unbeatable? Lol.. Listen. Predictably north America has the hands down best team. The European squad is nice but they're not even close to the level of the American team(which consists of arguably 5 top 10 players). Moreover, I beleieve, the European team will have a little trouble beating the African team. The african front court is big tall long and defensive. It'll be hard to drive on them or shoot over them. Not saying the Africans would straight up dominate the Europeans; more so I'm saying it could go either way depending on which team can impose their will. But if forced to bet: I'll take Europe in a "One and done" but Africa in a "Best of 7"
USA vs Europe in the finals for sure. USA I believe would take it, and you can easily put in Curry, Kobe, Bird, Bill Russell or Shaq as well but hard to take any of those 5 out.
They fit so well together because as individual players they each epitomize Tim Duncan's moniker, "The Big Fundamental." Besides their height advantage over others, say h. s. teammates, these European players grew up learning and focusing on the basics, the fundamentals, which they've mastered to the point of getting the better of USA raised players who rely on instinct and physical athleticism. So the European players, by mastering the basics of the game and their position, could come together with any other players and mesh like gears and cogs in an engine!
LUKA currently best NBA superstar MVP ... GIANNIS NBA champion and playoff MVP ... JOKIC season MVP.... really scary even for USA dream team with full power
Great list, the only change I would make is switching Embiid with Mutombo… when Joel wants to play defence, he’s a great on ball defender on small guys…
Great video. Europe is stacked. Better than I expected honestly. The African team is pretty decent too. I’d switch Embiid and Motumbo since Joel likes to hang out on the perimeter sometimes. But the North American team is still goated. Think about the guys that DIDN'T make the starting 5. The American bench might wash everyone else’s starting 5 lol
I think the only big miss here was Oscar Schmidt for South America. The OGs of the game say that he would've been an all-time great had he came to the NBA. Love your content!

@@archiesalter5069 of course nba is american sport while football is worldwide sport so it's common knowledge that north America will wipe everyone. Global talent is on the rise tho

That was a fun video. Africa was interesting, as they would not really have a swing man. South America was not as good as I expected, and the European team was impressive. 😅👍
South America has Ginobili who stands out - one of best players of all-time, including non-NBA carrer. If you put players that didn't play in NBA, I'd put Oscar Schmidt instead of Barbosa. He's a great scorer, but bad on defense.
"Tony Parker from Belgium but representing France for the olympics". This sentence kinda lets people think Tony is Belgian. It's true he was born in Belgium but he left Belgium for France when he was stg like 15 *days* old and grew up in France afterwards. He got a french passport (and an american one too I believe).
Parker's father is Afro-american, mother Dutch, he was born in Belgium, nothing of this is France. On the other hand France is covering it's lack of talent by buying foreign players, so Embid will be next Franch talent. France is talented sport nation of purchased Africans.

And I'm not going to say anything about Jokic, because comparing him with apex Pau is a bad joke. He just won nothing up to date. He is a good player, but still really far from Nowitzki or Pau.
@@mboswi you got a point comparing international activities. But then again the NBA is still the best league in the world and that’s why it got a deserved reputation. 2nd it’s not like Nowitzki ever had a national team even close like mark and Paul had. You also know it’s impossible to become a world champion alone. Even MJ would not be able to do so. 3rd: so joking has accomplished nothing until today? Please tell me how often Pau became leagues MVP? Also jokic still has plenty of time. Pau got his first ring in his 8th or 9th season if I’m not mistaken. Pau was an outstanding player that’s a fact. Personally I still think jokic has more skill than Pau had.
@@dond2807 Sure, I am not saying Jokic can't be better than Pau when he retires, but today is is not, by far. And I repeat, I'm not saying he is not a good player, at all, but today I would say the same about Doncic, and I think he is likely to become the top European player ever. On the international performance I agree to a point on what you say about the team, but you can also check other numbers and details: Pau has been, by far, much more decisive and relevant outside the NBA. Pau has lead several national teams, from Rudy and Calderon, to Ricky and Garuba, to international championships and olympic medals. Pau has been a great player, but also a great leader. I'm not sure we can say the same about Dirt (and again, I consider the German one of the greatest basketball players ever, who actually changed the NBA to a point). Aagain, Jokic is a great prospect, but today, out of the league if you are considering figures like Pau or Nowitzki, from m y point of view.
@Thouzer47 lolmao Jokic, really? Call me when he has several rings, a (more than probable) than hall of fame spot and his number retired in a classic team like Celtics, Laker etc.
Both Petrovic and Sabonis were great! Arvydas couldn't leave the Russian team and come to the NBA. His teams there ran him into the ground and caused him undo injuries on his knees...
1st- North America 2nd- Europe 3rd- Australia 4th- Africa 5th- Asia 6th- South America Disqualified- Antarctica Please Respect My opinion on these placements
Mumble is gonna be crazy at the 5. His quick feet are gonna be a problem for the slower bigs in the NBA, and unlike the rest of his teammates, his size works as a benefit to him by allowing good height matchups. He can slide in and out of the paint very easily, allowing him to grab easy boards when the other team's caught lacking. Rico is a perfect fit at PF. He always struck me as a Dennis Rodman/Draymond Green/Ron Artest type of player, who's not afraid to get physical with opponents and get them off their game. He's got a variety of tools he can use for any situation, too. He may not look like it, but on the court he's definitely an intimidating presence. Let's not forget about his chemistry with Skipper, those two can play together like an elite unit. Pingu at small forward is a bit of an odd choice in my opinion. Well, it was at first until I realized that his skillset makes him perfect for the position. He's well known for his stretch skills, and his unpredictability makes him scary to defend. Sure, he's prone to outbursts here and there, but if he gets himself together, he can really make a mess of the defense. Pablo is a natural-born guard. Arguably the most creative guy on the court at any given moment. His improvisational skills can allow him to confuse and dazzle defenders, allowing him to get easy buckets. Pablo's as smooth as they come, and a joy to watch. And finally there's Skipper. Honestly, his reputation precedes him. He is the very definition of an on-court coach; he knows how his teammates operate and seems to always make the best of their abilities. Even in tough situations, he's proven himself to be quick-thinking and very resourceful thanks to his high game iq. I don't think I could ever get tired of watching Skipper masterfully orchestrate offenses, and he's not a defensive slouch either. He and Rico almost seem to telepathically communicate with each other, that's just how high their chemistry is. Overall, although this team may seem to be black-and-white at first, they're definitely a force to be reckoned with on the court.
It would be cool if you do separate videos on top 10 or top 12 players all time from each of these countries: USA,Spain,Serbia,France,Lithuania, Greece,Australia,Canada,Italy,Croatia,Brazil...
Def would have put Adams in instead of Longley. For continent-discussion purposes, New Zealand is considered Australia, just like Japan is Asia and Madagascar is Africa.
mutombo SF hahah :D I like the video though, didn't know that my EU was so stacked, I forgot how many great players play here.. they would give US run for their money xD
@@mariomm9080 but made it to the hall of fame. one of the few players that achieved Ed that without playing in the NBA... it was a time where he had to choose between playing in the nba or for the national team... as nba players were not allowed in international tournaments.
These line ups would be great, that is if the nba would turn it to reality. Imagine a twelve man line up consisting of the best players in the world representing their own respective continents... should be called THE NBA'S intercontinental play offs.... IT WOULD BE SO SICK TO WATCH
Arvydas Sabonis should have been on the Europe team. He was a beast even though he was a little older by the time he got to the NBA... His son is nice too.
Arvydas was easily one the best centers of all time but speaking purely of the NBA Jokic should take that spot. I mean back to back MVP. But Arvydas deserves so much more respect than he does
Firstly, love your content. Secondly, NOBODY FROM AUSTRALIA CLAIMS KYRIE IRVING AS ONE OF US! HE DOESN’T PLAY FOR AUSTRALIA (even though he qualifies) SO WE DON’T WANT HIM! That is all 😊
@Ogugua Anunoby I know, but as an Aussie, I’d rather see the team as an actual representation of Australians (or from the same general area as us eg. Steve Adams)
@@luislicas I don't think he has even spent a year in that country😂😂😂😂he is playing for the Philippines internationally because there are no spaces left in the US team
He can has USA and Taiwan citizenship as far I remember because Taiwan citizenship is according to your ascendant and USA is according to where he born. Idk, he choose USA or Taiwan but for sure at least he has both citizenship. Same with Jordan Clarkson
I have a feeling if this list was redone after this season Josh Giddy would be on team Australia. He had a great rookie year and has future all-star written all over him.
There are a few players that never played in the NBA but should be on some of the teams. Oscar Schmidt In South America and Nikos Galis in Europe for example.
Well, recently Embiid said he wanted to play for the French national team. He's already started his paperwork procedures to make it happen. There's nothing official (yet), to be continued...

@@dond2807 Sure, I am not saying Jokic can't be better than Pau when he retires, but today is is not, by far. And I repeat, I'm not saying he is not a good player, at all, but today I would say the same about Doncic, and I think he is likely to become the top European player ever.
On the international performance I agree to a point on what you say about the team, but you can also check other numbers and details: Pau has been, by far, much more decisive and relevant outside the NBA. Pau has lead several national teams, from Rudy and Calderon, to Ricky and Garuba, to international championships and olympic medals. Pau has been a great player, but also a great leader. I'm not sure we can say the same about Dirt (and again, I consider the German one of the greatest basketball players ever, who actually changed the NBA to a point).
Aagain, Jokic is a great prospect, but today, out of the league if you are considering figures like Pau or Nowitzki, from m y point of view.
@Thouzer47 lolmao Jokic, really? Call me when he has several rings, a (more than probable) than hall of fame spot and his number retired in a classic team like Celtics, Laker etc.
It's so sad that Dražen Petrović died so young. He could've easily been the best european shooting guard ever before Luka.
In Petrovic time European players have no freedom to play full power in NBA.... This day EU players have freedom to play and show everything
If Arvydas Sabonis had joined NBA 10 years earlier, he would have easily been best european center
Both Petrovic and Sabonis were great! Arvydas couldn't leave the Russian team and come to the NBA. His teams there ran him into the ground and caused him undo injuries on his knees...
He is.
it's not that he could, he actually was the best SG until Luka came along.
1st- North America
2nd- Europe
3rd- Australia
4th- Africa
5th- Asia
6th- South America
Disqualified- Antarctica
Please Respect My opinion on these placements
Good one!
But I would go with Antarctica at 1!
And I would put Africa above Australia for sure.
So AA, NA, EU, AF, AU, AS, SA.
@@anmolnautiyal3967 ok
I respect how much effort goes into your videos keep it up man!
I'm more afraid of Antarctica than any of these other continents to be honest
Mumble is gonna be crazy at the 5. His quick feet are gonna be a problem for the slower bigs in the NBA, and unlike the rest of his teammates, his size works as a benefit to him by allowing good height matchups. He can slide in and out of the paint very easily, allowing him to grab easy boards when the other team's caught lacking.
Rico is a perfect fit at PF. He always struck me as a Dennis Rodman/Draymond Green/Ron Artest type of player, who's not afraid to get physical with opponents and get them off their game. He's got a variety of tools he can use for any situation, too. He may not look like it, but on the court he's definitely an intimidating presence. Let's not forget about his chemistry with Skipper, those two can play together like an elite unit.
Pingu at small forward is a bit of an odd choice in my opinion. Well, it was at first until I realized that his skillset makes him perfect for the position. He's well known for his stretch skills, and his unpredictability makes him scary to defend. Sure, he's prone to outbursts here and there, but if he gets himself together, he can really make a mess of the defense.
Pablo is a natural-born guard. Arguably the most creative guy on the court at any given moment. His improvisational skills can allow him to confuse and dazzle defenders, allowing him to get easy buckets. Pablo's as smooth as they come, and a joy to watch.
And finally there's Skipper. Honestly, his reputation precedes him. He is the very definition of an on-court coach; he knows how his teammates operate and seems to always make the best of their abilities. Even in tough situations, he's proven himself to be quick-thinking and very resourceful thanks to his high game iq. I don't think I could ever get tired of watching Skipper masterfully orchestrate offenses, and he's not a defensive slouch either. He and Rico almost seem to telepathically communicate with each other, that's just how high their chemistry is.
Overall, although this team may seem to be black-and-white at first, they're definitely a force to be reckoned with on the court.
How come you didn’t mention Steve Nash played for Canada his whole life? He moved here when he wasn’t even two yet.
It would be cool if you do separate videos on top 10 or top 12 players all time from each of these countries: USA,Spain,Serbia,France,Lithuania, Greece,Australia,Canada,Italy,Croatia,Brazil...
i think skipper 🐧 is the real goat 🐐 of the game 😂
No details and info about jerimy lin?
Bruh Dikembe at SF is the most hilarious thing ever, but it actually makes sense
how?
Nah, Dikembe plays center on this team. I'd put Joel at SF and Hakeem at PF. Versatility on defence really matters here, and Joel's the best shooter
Dude they could just intimate any team into winning.
@@fennisdembo34 pascal should be the 3
It doesn’t tho. He can’t shoot from the perimeter… at all. Embid was better off at the 3.
So Steven Adams just doesn’t belong to a continent
I thought the same, its because he confused Australia for Oceania
He's from atlantis,man.
Def would have put Adams in instead of Longley. For continent-discussion purposes, New Zealand is considered Australia, just like Japan is Asia and Madagascar is Africa.
@@theevilascotcompany9255 Australia’s a country though so that still doesn’t make sense that would be Luke saying Japan is part of Russia or China
Like* not Luke
For Team Australia, I pick Steven Adams over Andrew Bogut. I mean, this is the continent of Australia right, which includes New Zealand?
The cotinent is Oceania though, so I guess that geography mistake made him unfairly exclude New Zealand
How? Bogut has 10x the awards Adams has, better at nearly everything
Team antartica is the GOAT TEAM no one has a chance to win with this lineup
Everyone got an explanation for why theyre on the team except Jeremy Lin 🐐
Bc he doesn’t need 1 😉
This poster would’ve lost too many social credit points for mentioning Taiwan 😂
mutombo SF hahah :D I like the video though, didn't know that my EU was so stacked, I forgot how many great players play here.. they would give US run for their money xD
Pingu is the SF in NBA history, no doubts
Oscar is missing from south America. one of the greatest players of all time
He didnt playn in Nba
@@mariomm9080 but made it to the hall of fame. one of the few players that achieved Ed that without playing in the NBA... it was a time where he had to choose between playing in the nba or for the national team... as nba players were not allowed in international tournaments.
nice one
I wouldn't of put Luc Longley on the Australian starting 5. I would of put Joe Ingles at 3 and then moved Ben Simmons to the 4.
How about Rik Smith of Indiana Pacers? I thought he's Australian ?
@@terencechia9827 he's from the Netherlands ...
Or Steven Adams, New Zealand should be part of the Australian Continent too
Would have.
@@Mr19elf73 no it shouldn't
These line ups would be great, that is if the nba would turn it to reality. Imagine a twelve man line up consisting of the best players in the world representing their own respective continents... should be called THE NBA'S intercontinental play offs.... IT WOULD BE SO SICK TO WATCH
I wish you would’ve included the Head Coach but I really enjoy your vids !
Arvydas Sabonis should have been on the Europe team. He was a beast even though he was a little older by the time he got to the NBA... His son is nice too.
Agreed
Arvydas was easily one the best centers of all time but speaking purely of the NBA Jokic should take that spot. I mean back to back MVP. But Arvydas deserves so much more respect than he does
@@TheErva22 Sabonis had too many injuries during his career. He was like Kareem
Would love to see this with only current players. Fun idea.
australia shouldve been
PG: patty mills
SG: kyrie irving
SF: joe ingles
PF: ben simmons
C: steven adams
Steve Adams is from New Zealand...
@@jaredwebster9842 oceania
@@mb72mb72 Oceania and Australia are not synonymous my guy.
@@jaredwebster9842these are continents were talking about he used australia instead of oceania new zealand has to go somewhere
Australia is the continent though. Oceania is a geographic region. So unfortunately it doesn't work like that
I'll go for team Antarctica, their cuteness will surely destroy all continents line up 🤣🤣🤣
You should do a best player from every state and include Puerto Rico too
I love how in a lineup with Embiid and Mutumbo, Olajuwon is somehow the center. lol
Firstly, love your content.
Secondly, NOBODY FROM AUSTRALIA CLAIMS KYRIE IRVING AS ONE OF US! HE DOESN’T PLAY FOR AUSTRALIA (even though he qualifies) SO WE DON’T WANT HIM!
That is all 😊
bruh he's at sg
@Ogugua Anunoby I know, but as an Aussie, I’d rather see the team as an actual representation of Australians (or from the same general area as us eg. Steve Adams)
I mean I would take him
@Ogugua Anunoby Australia just won bronze without him.
I dont think Kyrie wants Australia either. So there you go.
Do you know who Oscar Schmidt is? Arguably the best player to come from South America?
Best “NBA” starting 5
Just a question. How would you go about territorial issues like if a person was born in Europe but Asia conquers it
Antarctica has the best team, so GOATED, you can't change my mind
Love this, but one thing I noticed: Jeremy Lin is of Taiwanese decent, but he was born in California, so technically he’s not FROM Asia.
Also Jordan Clarkson his not born in the Philippines.
@@Bbbcracker he played for the philippine national team tho
@@luislicas I don't think he has even spent a year in that country😂😂😂😂he is playing for the Philippines internationally because there are no spaces left in the US team
He can has USA and Taiwan citizenship as far I remember because Taiwan citizenship is according to your ascendant and USA is according to where he born. Idk, he choose USA or Taiwan but for sure at least he has both citizenship. Same with Jordan Clarkson
I have a feeling if this list was redone after this season Josh Giddy would be on team Australia. He had a great rookie year and has future all-star written all over him.
“He got the best footwork in the game”!
worst to best
7 south america
6 asia
5 australia
4 africa
3 europe
2 north america
1 antartica
😂🤣
How about do a video about the NBA best player from each state of the U.S.
That's a stretch calling Steve Nash African he moved to Canada when he was 18 months old and has all ways played for Canada on the national seen lol
Steve Nash is canadian. Played for team Canada. Doesnt even have south african nationality
I hate how GOAT conversations leave out Bill Russell entirely in this video. He should at least have been mentioned with 11 NBA Championships.
Antarctica is a goated continent for sure 😂
There are a few players that never played in the NBA but should be on some of the teams. Oscar Schmidt In South America and Nikos Galis in Europe for example.
You should of put Australia as a continent. Should of done Oceania
🤣🤣🤣 I think no one expected that ending with Antarctica
I believe siakam would have been a better fit at the 3 compared to Mutombo
Let me guess? you havent seen Mutombo play at his prime?
No.
Who is Siakam ?
That european lineup is just incredible
As a SF from South America you should pick Oscar Schmidt, a Hall of Famer. If you're gonna make all-time fives you should improve your research...
To be fair, he did name the video "The Best _NBA_ Starting 5 From Every Continent!".
Fun fact: Antartica would still beat south america
I like the dream team artartic so legit 👍 I never even expect 😂
Love from: philippines
3:30 Not having Pau or Marc Gasol is a pity
6 man for Antarctica is kawolski
Philippines 🇵🇭 represent!!!
NBA is always World wide
Brazil OSCAR SCHMIDT is south America best solution for SG/SF position.... Overall best basketball player of all time from southern hemisphere
but its from nba
Well, recently Embiid said he wanted to play for the French national team. He's already started his paperwork procedures to make it happen.
There's nothing official (yet), to be continued...
Jeremy Lin was born in California and Barbosa's first name is "Leandro." I think you cheated with the Africa lineup.
Citizenship is enough to put them in a state.
You will know Asia has the weakest starting 5 with the way you introduce Jeremy Lin 😆😆😆
Right no love for Jeremy Lin at all. “At point guard we have Jeremy Lin from Taiwan.” That was it nothing about his stats.
@@lazytyrantthao4637 maybe because of political reasons, and Taiwan being a hot-bed topic that might rifle some feathers
It's because Taiwan lel. It's too sensitive
And he's not even from Asia, he was born and grew up in California
@@lazytyrantthao4637 there was copyright bruh.
Good to see the antarctic players getting they’re respect, honestly, ther would underrated like they could beat a whole team of 1996 mjs

@@epicgaming358 Born in Africa, raised in Canada

@@quintinosterkamp7632 yes
A few of these teams are a bit of a stretch.
Petrovic and Sabonis should be on Team Europe in my opinion.
I would swap in Ingles for Australia.
Wilt in for Kareem.
@@tonyhasek9403 - much live Irving, Nash is being placed on a team based on where he was born rather than the Nationality he most aligns with or actually represented.
Which suggests that Dominique Wilkins would be eligible for team Europe. Steve Kerr for Asia.
But to me this says this guy did little to no research and phoned the whole thing in.
@4:11 KOBE 🤕 from Boston, where can I find that highlight, he got the shit knocked out of him🤣
Arvydas Sabonis is the only acceptable answer for Center in EU. Dude was basically Jokic skill-wise with superb athleticism.
TRUE!
Jokic feels too early to be included imo.
Wow the roster of europe has 3 mvp's and luka will be an mvp one day
And Tony was not so far to be an MVP for some years.
Emanuel Ginóbili also won the gold medal in 2004 Olympics. The dude literally won everything there is to win in the sport and you leave that out. Also part of the hall of fame.
