    Pop will be great for him, but man imagine if Don Nelson had this kid, would be a dream come true for him, he is the sole reason Dirk was allowed to become really the man that changed the NBA more than anyone I can think of, because of Dirk big guys are expected to be able to shoot now, to a lesser extent Gasol as well. 7 foot 3 and above does not have a great track record though injury wise, hope the kid stays healthy.

And Bayern's example is kinda pointless, if you want a fair comparison compare with the Champions league. And if you want extreme opposite examples take Auxerre in France, 35k habitants, literally the size of an American block who won the French cup, French league and made it pretty far to the champions league. And parity is also dubious, you can't have parity if there is no possibility for a small team to grow and make it to the NBA from scratch, it's the exact definition of inequality, you basically have "parity" between a handful of teams and then nothing, on average it's thus way worse.

Takes them a few games to adapt to a more physical style of play and then truly dominate and express their potential. NBA has the best players but is also made to be an entertaining show with beaten records and high scores (American Television/Advertisement/Capitalism). It’s very offensive. Giannis, Luka et Jokic seem to say they adapted pretty easily offensively when coming to the NBA for that very reason. They were used to play against defenses that could get away with more physicality.

    even culturally in America we lack communities. We live a very individualistic and competitive lifestyle which is not really condusive to a harmonic society. In Europe there seems to be more of a sense of community and togetherness as well as wholistic identity. I think this allows for players to see someone see their teams success as their own rather than Americans who fear being being lesser as it is not capitalistic for them to be lesser.

    "San Antonio had one of those [selfless stars]." San Antonio had four. D-Rob, Duncan, Manu, and Tony. Three if you just wanna count superstars. Duncan set the tone for the post-Robinson years, for sure, but let's not pretend like David Robinson didn't willingly take a back seat for the sake of Timmy's development and for winning even though he was still a superstar. Even to the end of his career, he had some excellent advanced stats. During their first championship run, he had better BPM and RPM than Duncan, and in his last season, he was still top 30 in the league in RPM and top 50 in BPM. But he just wanted to win, so none of those things mattered to him either. I hope Wemby had a great conversation with Timmy, David, Manu, (and Sean Elliott) at that dinner. As a David Robinson apologist and fan, I couldn't let that one slide 😁 Edit: I don't know Kawhi's style and personality well enough to say whether he continued that trend, so I didn't think of him until just now. That said, you could say there was a fourth Spurs superstar who just wanted to win. Obviously he left under rather acrimonious circumstances, but considering his near-constant injury woes that may be indicative of some truth to his side of the story and his completely understandable desire to play in his hometown, I think it's warranted to give him the benefit of the doubt. I hope he can stay healthy for a few more title runs.

Also when you look as his supposed "efficiency", the numbers looks pretty, but in the actual game Manu was a reckless player, took too many risks, forced shots and passes, etc.. and that's great actually, the dude had the guts to improvise, but like I said, stats don't expose this kind of stuff, you have to watch and interpret the situation

    @@RRRRRRRRR33 Jokic proved... stats can be deceiving? I don't understand this at all. He has been crowned multiple times over by many advanced stats as one of the greatest players ever. Are you saying he proved this wrong somehow...? Concerning the eye test, why do you think your eye test has such high fidelity to real impact on the game? Are you conscious of all your biases that would push you to favor one style of play over another, even if both styles are equally effective? Historically speaking, humans are awful at objectively evaluating things. Scientists are taught the scientific method and subjected to peer review because it forces them to confront their own biases when approaching a subject and keeps them from publishing their work if they don't. In the absence of a unified theory of basketball eye tests, making broad assumptions about the effectiveness of a player based on an eye test seems unwarranted. To be fair, some of these advanced stats were kind of created to justify Jordan's dominance numerically, so there's some bias baked in, but that's not a terrible bias to have.

    The European system is different. It’s based on the European football model of academies.

So these kids go there at 14, leave their families, are fully under the coaching and tutelage of professional coaches. It’s just total co plate immersion into basketball their way.

    The way basketball is played in Europe doesn't allow stardom, or so to say the system doesn't need a player to be a scorer or a star. It matters if one is a great asset for a team, whatever the role is. As you enroll into youth academies where your talent is already known and you can develop there for the coming 5-8 years you can solely focus on how to be a good teammate and improve your own game, so you can win games WITH your team. Plus, what wemby said: as he was the best player, he moved up a team in age, so he always had to be humble and fight for his spot. Luka, Jokic, Dirk, Petrovic and Giannis had similar paths to the NBA where the had never been the best player of their team, up till the last year they played in Europe or when they got to the NBA, as they always played with older guys or mature pro's. Whereas in the states you need to stand out at 13 to play AAU, you need to be the star in High School with more striking stats in order to get a scholarship and then again need to be the most dominant guy of your team to get drafted. Instead of learning to win with your team. Cheers from Europe.

    I think the reason why many unselfish superstars are europeans lies in the way, they are trained in their late teens. In the US, you play highschool and college and the whole time, you are the five star recruit among teammates that clearly will never make it to the NBA. That shapes you to be more ball dominant and selfish. In europe, you are thrown into a team of grown men that try to compete in their local league and regardless of how talented you are, you start out as the kid carrying the balls. At the same time, the playstyle is much more "pass first". I think that both those factors tend to shape players into becoming a more selfless superstar. Interestingly, Luca Doncic is probably the most "selfish" european superstar and he is closest to being treated as the superstar talent from a very young age like american top prospects are.

    JJ your question on culture was pandering. On the one hand we celebrate the dawgs of MJ and Kobe and in the same breath we want superstars like Jokic. Europe has its share of me first superstars...look at football. Question is what is the differnce between baskball and soccer for European players.

    The insinuation that Euro culture has something to do with selfless basketball was poorly crafted and factually incorrect. You can make an argument that the fundamentals of the game are being taught better in Europe but over the course of last 20 years we've had many, many, so called "selfless" American superstars. And frankly I'm not really sure what that even means. Were Kareem, Jordan, Barkley, Isiah, Shaq, Kobe, Duncan, Garrett, Wade, Curry, Durant, Lebron, etc selfish players? Jordan and Kobe were pure scorers, that doesn’t make them selfish players. Shaq could physically dominate a game by scoring inside vs any single cover or most doubles. It doesn’t make him selfish to shred dudes and throw down hammer dunks. The question and insinuation by Reddick is inordinately stupid.

Add his paint defense, jokic playmaking and post game, amd sprinkle a bit of kd jumpshot. Wow.

    The selfless star comment is super stupid and perpetuating stereotypes. First off, what does he even mean? All those players he named are ball dominant, even the ones who get assists. Is he talking outward confidence? Luka is big trash talker. I've seen players that act like Joker and get nothing but hate from the media. Kevin Durant made the comment Wemby just made about forcing shots when the Clippers were throwing double teams at him. We told Lebron he need to be more like Jordan for 2 decades. Simply because he passes too much. You have every personality type in the NBA and every type is OK. People are varied.

    Look, basketball was a team sport until the rulers of the game decided to market Michael Jordan by allowing him to break every rule that limited personal offense, creating the selfish player model. Then it got worse under Shaq. It’s still bad, the way they let big men shove smaller men out of their way….including Jokic. Basketball is always at its best when the team element is highlighted…Cousy /Russell. Magic/Kareem, Bird/ McHale Duncan and his teammates

    100%. All of these great European players (and Joel Embiid who is African), played football ever since they were younger. Football requires them to pass the ball frequently to get open and increase the chances of scoring. I think football influenced them a lot in the passing game and getting your teammates the ball.

    JJ needs to shut up! 🤦🏾‍♂ Regardless, asking a star to be "selfless" is a very suspicious request. These teams don't care about anything but their bank accounts, a "selfless star" is more money for them. Being selfless with your team is great, but that's personal. No one should be asking that of you. Being selfless with the people who pay you is just foolish.

    We shall see, in this interview what I enjoy. He seems to be very down to earth that by itself will likely take him far. Jokic has redefined the point center position forever. Steph Curry opened up the floor now the big man is gonna have to learn how to drive a tank right down the middle of that floor and be a much much better passer than LeBron was I would say LeBron was just a decent passer compared to Bird magic, and now Jokic. if Victor will learn how to always be looking at the floor as a chess match he’ll be unstoppable, LeBron James Kobe Bryant Michael Jordan. They had to touch the ball and thus froze their teammates out. What is noticeable about the Denver Nuggets championship is that several of the players were copying the passes of Nikola, it made them unstoppable, so Victor copy what they’re doing and all the people that tell you you need to bulk up and you need to do this and you didn’t need to do that work on your passing and then develop a skyhook and a baby skyhook and you will become Kareem magic bird all in one…
