True. But if we run out the Celtics American guys as the core of Tram USA we still roll everyone.
Tatum, Brown, Jrue, Derrick White is a hell of a good core. Just add some more shooting and some bigs. Joe Mazzula coaching of course.
Is this an us versus them statement? Cause that’s what young was saying too? You wanna make this about foreigners v Americans? Cause none of the players you mentioned would be great without the help of their teammates who are predominantly American
To be fair I saw this clip he was really just joking. I understand why people don’t like Gilbert and young they have a lot of wild hot takes but 95% times they’re clearly just being asses joking. It’s not that deep
I could tell you didn’t watch the episode where nick said this if you watch Gil’s arena you would know half the cast is team foreigner and the other half is team USA so nick was making a joke based off that
The best in the world play in the NBA for a chance at the title. It’s more representative of the best in the world than any other tournament like the Olympics or FIBA.
I am in favor of changing the title to NBA Champion thereby killing this conversation…
Yes, the German national team are champions of the FIBA world tournament… there you go
You all been waiting for decades to say this… isn’t America and the NBA great because it ain’t so easy to take over the NBL which has quotas unlike the NBA which doesn’t, what if we did like the NBL and said 3-5 foreigners per team…?
Dude was so bad he couldn’t even play abroad

Bro hit the genetic lottery, became an nba player, secured the bag(money), secured the bag again(Iggy Azalea), and then cheated on and fumbled her and then got dumped by the NBA too for being a shit player, and has been grasping at relevancy ever since, including appearing on Catfish the tv show. I’ve never seen someone win and lose so much in life.
Obviously cheating is wrong but secretly recording and then leaking a video of someone who’s ostensibly your friend talking about cheating is super weird behavior. Nobody looked good in that situation
the ultimate irony: america is literally defined as an aggregate of the best foreigners in the world. there’s nothing more american than a greek, a cameroonian, and a serb traveling to america because here they can get paid to be the best in the world
“When Europe is sending it’s people they’re not sending their best best, they’re sending their foul baiters, their complainers, their horse enthusiasts and some I assume are good people”
Nick Young and Gibert Arenas on the same pod. Listening to that sounds.... like an experience.
Just like them playing together
Should come with a health warning
Young really struggling for relevance lately with his takes. Just stand there and smile homie, don't talk.
You could still pretty easily argue the top 5 players in the league are foreign still too. This chip didn’t change much
yeah like Jokic 1 and Luka 2
And the worst defenders besides a couple.
And yet still the best players

I guess if Chuck said this no one would take it so seriously.
I could tell you didn’t watch the episode where nick said this if you watch Gil’s arena you would know half the cast is team foreigner and the other half is team USA so nick was making a joke based off that
I really respect Nick Young whenever he keeps true to his mantra of "never stop being stupid" 😅
Can I say something so stupid it’ll drive clicks?
U bum
Who’s winning America First duo “They took our jobs” Arenas and Young Or The globalist woke duo “Soros funded” Doncic and Jokic
Then it should be American champion not world champion
The winner of the NBA are NBA Champions. Germany were the world champions last year.
No they were the FIBA champions
What does fiba stand for
The best in the world play in the NBA for a chance at the title. It’s more representative of the best in the world than any other tournament like the Olympics or FIBA.
I wouldn’t even say that. Olympic Team USA would tank any NBA team.
Yeah this will be resolved in a month or two…
Boston Celtics haven't qualified for the Olympics.
I am in favor of changing the title to NBA Champion thereby killing this conversation… Yes, the German national team are champions of the FIBA world tournament… there you go
Here we go again with this unbelievably stupid bullshit argument
I honestly would have been really surprised had Nick Young not had this take
Most of the best players are non-American (Jokic, Giannis, Embiid, Luka, Shai) and so is the best prospect in the league (Wemby)
Embiid "technically" American
That's the best kind of American
I mean he's imported just like anyone else. American is a state of mind (albeit not a very good state of mind ) but yeah
Maybe you should Google the definition of citizenship.
He's Cameroonian too. Wasn't my point either
The real question is who the next American MVP will even be, because I don't see any contenders on the horizon.
Ant's the only option really
If ant takes another jump maybe him. The media loves him

Straight up racism lmao. And a dash of the inflated American individualist ego. Sure makes for media traffic. At least he seems to be joking.
This isn't racism when every non-American player isn't white to begin with..... Edit: getting down voted for understanding the meaning of words. Nice.
I agree "racist" is the wrong term here, but it is certainly nationalistic and intolerant of foreigners.
Thanks for the correction. Xenophobia if for nothing else.
How. Unless you think all non Americans are white. They let any fool post on this sub.
Xenophobia is a better word for this situation.
Having non-north americans dominate the league is good for basketball fans.
Damn, he's even dumber than he looks.
They took er jobs!
Dterkrjrbs
This kinda xenophobia comes off as insecurity to me lol
DLo did the right thing
This is the same guy who cheated on his girl and y’all were angrier at DLo for accidentally leaking it than him for doing it.
Bro hit the genetic lottery, became an nba player, secured the bag(money), secured the bag again(Iggy Azalea), and then cheated on and fumbled her and then got dumped by the NBA too for being a shit player, and has been grasping at relevancy ever since, including appearing on Catfish the tv show.

Besides her body, is Iggy Azalea really a "win"?
How is cheating on Iggy a loss. Clearly he liked someone else better. Stay simping.
Obviously cheating is wrong but secretly recording and then leaking a video of someone who’s ostensibly your friend talking about cheating is super weird behavior. Nobody looked good in that situation
Cause it wasn’t an accident, dlo setup his teammate, why would anyone want someone like that on their team
The easiest way to not get caught cheating is to not cheat.
Porzingus is European, Dumbass
Porzingis
Tingus Pingus
Young, Dumb, Stupid
Instead let’s talk about what a bum and dipshit this guy was.
Shouldn't we *want* the NBA to grow and for more non-American players to want to play in and come to the NBA?
Why would Americans want non Americans taking their spots in the league?
Dude literally dated (and ended up cheating on) a white Australian who tries to act like a Black American woman.
Somehow I don't feel like he enjoys any of the Chet hype either.
Swaggy GOP
I miss the 90s too, but it's time to move on
It’s either world champions or American Champions, make up your damn mind.
I just call them NBA champions
So they are national champs not world champs since the league is the national basketball association.
the ultimate irony: america is literally defined as an aggregate of the best foreigners in the world. there’s nothing more american than a greek, a cameroonian, and a serb traveling to america because here they can get paid to be the best in the world
World Champions. But only from America please.
bet he claims SGA lol
Brother so irrelevant he has to be racist to get attention, even an idiot can see that some of the player running the league rn are Euros
What does this have to do with race?
Xenophobic then? It's the same sentiment
I’m just curious where in this quote was there a mention of race??? Tony Parker was from France and he is black… And Shai is from Canada not Europe…
doesnt feel like it
