Nobody everyt talks about him it's kind of sad. Hes one of the most underated players in the league likely because everybody focuses on offensive game so much which is only half of the game.
Yes! because most arent watching. They see hes not shooting much and think hes trash, But are not watching his whole game. But when he shoots hes shooting 40% this year. its not that bad
4:16 Probably one of the few that would noticed, but that pink bag in the lower left corner has a Stade Français Paris logo, a rugby union team where USA international, Scott Lavalla, used to play. One of the first Americans in French rugby 🏉
Wtf Mane don’t sleep on our city. Detroit is not as bad as the media commonly portrays it to be. It’s actually a great city.... #DetroitVsEverybody #DetroitBasketball
Also if basketball ever gets as popular as soccer in the rest of the world (long shot I know), then we will be passed very quickly in terms of dominating things like the All-Star game, Olympics, etc. The way they train young athletes is at another level than what our average elite athlete is exposed to from ages 8-18 because of our stupid archaic system of "amateurism".
Don’t kid yourself. The reason why our soccer system is lacking is because of split national attention with so many more lucrative sports: hockey, basketball, football, baseball. We have the most physically gifted talent pool of any nation so we’ll always excel at sports where physicality is almost everything like basketball and football.
America has the most talent when it comes to sports. We suck at soccer because no one really cares that much for soccer here in America which is kinda sad because soccer is a great sport and hands down the most popular sport world wide. We dominate in most sports but those are sports that were invented by Americans to begin with. Soccer is more of an ancient sport so if America dominated in soccer it would deff be cool but we’re not sweating it at all. We’re more than ok with games like football baseball and basketball.
Stop lying to yourselves. First of all, soccer is probably the least athlete dominated collective sport, in no other sport slow unathletic guys are as represented as in soccer. Secondly, the U.S is not just underperforming because they don't care enough nation wide, the U.S is barely a relevant soccer country in the international landscape. You're miles behind a country like Australia that plays Rugby and Australian football dominantly. So don't come and tell me the U.S has less soccer players than Australia. What cripples the U.S in soccer more than anything is your amateur system, its the same system that fosters almost excluively supreme athletes with no fundamentals at all. Look at the typical PF C out of college in the U.S and compare him to any European big at the same age. The first will most likely look like Deandre Jordan or Dwight Howard, the other one more like Boris Diaw. And if the NBA game is dominated by athletes, Soccer is not. So that's why the U.S will never be relevant in soccer, ever.
That_Canuck_God Imagine being a country of 100 million people, but none of your countrymen can get to the biggest league of that particular sport That’s lame
I'm an American- I like when we win the Olympics. This worries me. They are starting so early! As far as NBA is concerned, it makes me happy. I want the best the world could produce, in the NBA!!
I can't believe how interesting this series was for me, a person that does not like basketball (more of a rugby union fan) 🏉 French rugby is really cool too.
That girl gets it about Kyrie. I can understand why so many international talented scorers gravitate towards him because he has a Messi-esque quality to his game where he's able to get to spots on the court/field almost like magic
Pretty dope. I was in France a few years ago and saw a random tournament being held right in the middle of Paris. I kinda wish I could have played just to see how French players play. Glad the sport is getting more and more popular!
Great video. Thank you for uploading and cant wait for you to show case international prospects for other countries as well. Sad to see China, although has massive population and player base, doesn't possess the necessary system fundamentally to produce exciting players from grounds up, especially incapable coaching staffs. Yao Ming was extremely lucky. The Asian's strong intelligent and finesse play style should give us some excitement. The Chinese education system trains rigid minded players who lacks imaginations and on the spot creativity. Hopefully with new educational reform, new generations exposed to new life styles and Yao Ming broadened vision from his NBA career, China B-ball can produce players that's as exciting or better than Yao.
Zach Zheng Also, chinese people don’t have good genetics for basketball on average. They are small (even more in the south), and west africans have the best genetics for quickness and muscular power, which explains why there’s so many black people in the NBA
The funny thing about this is that France has at least 1-2 players get drafted in the NBA every year and still doesn't get the same love it gets like Croatia or even Slovenia does, that's crazy!
no offense but France isn't known for the Eiffel tower and a soccer team but rather an incredibly rich history and a culture so ridiculously influential, it's hard to overstate how important it was to shape the world of today.
More like Eiffel tower, soccer and THEN french revolution and after that the other sightseeing highlights and the coast. That is the order of what france is known for
The thing is that even if France improves or other nation improves.. United States isn't like last time taking things for granted; they now have scouts around to scout talents and Nike is often at the fore-fronts :D United States today ahve a pool of talent in their age representative and even in the senior team.. even if France/Germany/former Soviet Union bloc nation/Russia improve whilst America is also improving as well. I think that USA will be the top still despite the progress of other nations in basketball...
Roy Lim Exactly, but first because Basketball is much more popular in the US. If basketball was as popular in France as it was in the US, there would be 40 french players in the NBA
And the fact that Serbia doesn't have players of African origin makes it even more incredible. But to be honest Spain has been the most dominant force in the last decade.
I'm actually married to an African woman, so it's definitely not how i think. I don't know about all Serbians though, but i guess those who are ignorant do.
Realistically the best bball outside the US is in ex-Yu. Anyone who knows anything about bball cannot deny that. If Yugoslavia was still around bball would just be plain boring because every year it would be US against Yug in the finals. At the Euros, it would actually be tragic, probably the same equivalent to the US bball team winning the Olympics every time. I mean just look at the number of NBA players: Jokic, Vucevic, Dragic, Doncic, Saric, Bogdanovic (Pacers), Bogdanovic (Kings), Bjelica, Nurkic, Teodosic, Marjanovic, Hezonja, Mirotic, Teletovic to name just a few. US would beat them max 10 points difference.
Guys real question, why is it that every girl has a weird or wonky shot form? Like do tits really make that big of a difference in how u shoot? Or is it a matter of not enough arm strength or what is it?!? I want to know!!
Awesome videos and research! EXCEPT, u got one HUGE fact wrong!! Basketball was born in CANADA not the U.S.!! Come on bro thats a big mistake! Give credit where is due, its that simple.
Now that everyone knows the TRUTH. If a human invents a specific game that requires physical & mental abilities only it does not matter where that human invented it, only matters WHO invented it. Just saying.....
Why don't they talk about Rudy Gobert? He is the BEST French player in the NBA RIGHT NOW... I mean, dude is the reigning Defensive Player of the Year.
They mention him,maybe he just didnt want to be involved with the story
I like her ooouuu laaalaaa she is a Celtic fan most respect gal !

He just need to be more confident and selfish...

Shut up bastard
Some of the courts are amazing
Why is there no mention of Rudy Gobert even once lol?
Joe Edwards they mentioned him multiple times did you even watch?
They never mentioned Evan Fournier they just showed his face
when? timestamp it once
because it was a docu on the insep program, rudy did not go there.
Hope you can make a video about Spain very soon.

A culture that kept the guillotine around until the 1970’s yea France sure is known for a lot of stuff lol
Lol influential because they were cruel colonizers, not because they are truly deserving
