Jalen Rose Warns American Players That NBA Jobs Are Becoming Extinct | THE ODD COUPLE 

I'm right with you

I miss Marv so much. His son, Kenny is pretty good though.

What about it

I love those guys

Yep... Storm n Rashad on "Inside Stuff"!!!!

Absolutely 💯

It’s contaminated so many aspects of life

America is a lost cause now

Our education system made us mid a long time ago. Social Media turned us into retarded wanna be's

So true!!!!

Get ya gm up.... stop relying and living on just athleticism and work on skills/ fundamentals

@@Ugkbaby214 Facts!

You hit the nail on head !!!

That social credit these days worth more than a chip ring. "chips come and go, but my followers are eternal" 😆

God bless you. And yet they are jealous of overseas players that spend more time mastering their craft

I applaud them! They earned it!❤

Don’t forget two Finals MVP’s in the last two seasons

How many of the last 10 championships have they won. 2?? How are they supposedly the best if they are not winning the chip?

Great comment! 😎❤️

Stop it basketball was invented in the US so they had a pretty big head start which happens in all sports…such a dramatic take

"Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard." Which is why the US has won 6 out of 7 gold medals since the Dream team. And the only time they didnt, Kobe, Shay, Ray Allen, Vince Carter, Kevin Garnett and Jason Kidd couldnt make it for reasons from injury, weddings, summer surgery, to court cases 🤷🏾‍♂

David Stern changed the NBA so Europeans could catch up

@@lonnellgrigsby1367 They haven't caught up! Stop it.

The ability to get money earlier in life compared to back then makes a big difference. I’m for dudes getting paid using their talents at any level because someone is getting paid off of you so get yours first. But that doesn’t mean lose the hunger. TBH Ben Simmons is a major example of too much too early and it waters down the chance for others.

NBA is developping facilities in Africa and an african league. If Africans can have the opportunity and access to better youth development. Euros will be the least of Americans players problems 😅

Chris is too busy screaming like he always does to actually listen to what anyone has to say. You're absolutely right, and it was the point Rob was trying to make. The problem is these kids are getting WAY TOO MUCH. Zion Williamson got $75 million from Nike alone before he ever dribbled a ball in the NBA and could have received $100 million if he went to a Chinese brand. These guys are making more money THEN SOME **COUNTRIES** !!! Now, as someone who's watched the NBA since 1980, I can tell you all of the obvious flaws in all of these one and done kids. But I won't like: if I was in their position, I'd do the exact same thing, take the money. Well the problem is these European players are coming to the NBA with the fundamentals our players used to get playing 4 years in college. If things continue, the NBA will most certainly belong to international players.

​@@marcdaddy33bruh what

Nobody takes rob seriously for a reason

Lol this guy Evan Turner. It's so funny how Black folks feel they have this free card to be racist and or prejudice publicly but no other group does 🤷‍♂. Jokic is fun to watch. Guys that depend on strength and athleticism but are low on skill like Giannis are boring.

@@itshiho Evan Turner saying Jokic is boring is racist? I don’t get the connection between his comment and Jokic’s race?

He was born here in the states. His mom or dad is Dominican so he can play with them

@@motorcitymuscle3878born here try again

Correct he was born in the US and Dominican is a place not a race

He can play for whoever he wants he's still American.

Is American a race?

Exactly.

English football (soccer) went through this decades ago too.

Still the best hockey players are Canadian.

@@rickd438 Top 10 points leaders this season; 1. Nikita Kucherov (Russia) 2. Nathan MacKinnon (Canada) 3. Connor McDavid (Canada) 4. Artemi Panarin (Russia) 5. David Pastrňák (Czechia) 6. Auston Matthews (USA) 7. Leon Draisaitl (Germany) 8. Mikko Rantanen (Finland) 9. J.T. Miller (USA) 10. William Nylander (Sweeden). Tell me again that Canadians are still the best....

@@bonehead797 Canada overall still has the most depth and talent as a team. Same thing in basketball for America. You will always have more talented individuals here and there but team wise, America is still the most talented in basketball. We’ll see hopefully at the next Olympic Games.

@@rickd438 But you said players not team, and I demolished your argument. And although we will always be a top team in the world, medaling has become a lot harder, we are not guaranteed to medal every time anymore. We barely beat Austria at these World Championships, it took us overtime to beat a team we used to spank by 8-10 goals every time.

Agreed!!!

What downfall?

It is the NBA'S fault by allowing this bring back college and real high school Basketball for the games sake and stop letting high school kids enter the draft at least 3 years of College and a Degree in Finance

No bullshit

Why do you think the AAU players have the issues you mentioned?

🎯

Only the regular season. Did you watch that OKC/Dal series. They let Dort get away with so much against Luka. And you know what? I think fair play. I think it made the series better.

celtics and lakers don't foul

Every ERA says THEIR ERA PLAYED DEFENSE. I remember 06-10 and everybody saying nobody played defense. I saw clips of magic saying 'don't touch jordan it's a foul' in the 90's. Watch the full games, eras back then fouled the same way and touch fouls were called on jordan, kobe, AI etc all the time

@@mrfathed3129I agree they let them play in the playoffs which made it better to watch but you could see the players kept looking for calls because they aren’t use to physical play.

facts..... These same two will kill Lebron for passing the ball at times in the game. I hate that tierd phrase of "Playing the right way" too.

Yes. LeBron getting killed a few years back for passing to the open man instead of taking the game winning shot himself is peak Americana.

Why work for a solid career when you can post a dum dum TikTok and be famous in hours with no skills needed?

You're absolutely correct 💯

That's what happened with baseball

The boss will always have options 🤷‍♀️😂 but the options is the African Americans🤷‍♀️😂 just think about it it’s been 39 years and Kareem ( African American) still have his hands on the sport 😂 mj, magic 😂 when look in the movie business you have African Americans like Denzel, Samuel L Jackson, Morgan freeman that’s the OPTIONS

@@TheRecReportbut he didnt mentioned any euro player or actor that’s dominating 😂 as long as it’s a African American that’s BETTER THEN EVERYONE ELSE in any INDUSTRY everything’s else is irrelevant

NFL is the only sport that the regular guy still has a chance

Yes compared to Luka and joker who cry to the refs all day and sga who flops all day

@@theblackbolt5514Luka, Jokic and SGA play hard EVERY NIGHT!!! they’re not load managing and trying to be IG models twerking.

Yes, the main problem is " da culture." But no one will say it.

Is he still in high school?!!

I thought he was studying to be an orthopedic surgeon... yes? 😆

Less money and now you have to deal with the actual problem: the Parents!

because they arent getting hired to do so maybe

More times than not, great players don't turn out to be great leaders. MJ was a hell of a player, but he wasn't a good leader, same with Kobe and probably LeBron.

Most great players don't make great coaches. Most don't even try. A former player that has millions of dollars doesn't have to put up with the criticism and the attitudes coaches have to deal with these days.

@@LinwoodPowell dude ... stop talking about this topic just watch "the last dance" smh

he's not a rookie not even in the nba yet

He’s supposed to apologize bc his dad is Lebron & people like you like to mention him good or bad

@@alonzojones9626 ???

Yeah but nothing to do with his skills dude…. 😂

Great point.

Imagine if you had both, thinking basketball as well as the athleticism

Well u need athletisim to do that

@@ChiraqMaybach-ii9wm We used to, before this era.

@@sportjames23 facts

Every great player has both. Your comment is binary.

Exactly.

That’s spot on

Shut up ninja 🫵🏽 must be dumb to think like that ninja 🤣🤣🤣

Actually they are supposed to develop in AAU.... how's that working out for us?

@@greggibson33 AAU isn’t where players should develop. It should be college and then. The first 2 years in the pros. Dirk, Jokic, etc. Has had time to play. Wemby and Luka had to hop in right away. Lot of foreign players get drafted and play on their national roster for 2 years before fully committing to the NBA.

If you play against professionals at 16 years old then you actually have to develop your game to be successful. If you play against other high schoolers and you are supremely talented you don’t have to develop skills to dominate.

Domantas Sabonis is American stp it!!!!

@sourdiesel681 You're right he was born in Portland...hello is this thing on

Lol facts

They are some of the best players and watch how ant man proves it against Dallas.

Ant is working….other two not really and Ja just bc the off court stuff.

It is working.. Jokic is out. Luka will follow. Your snowflake Euros are done, congratulations on ‘1’ year on top 😂 Hahaha

@@xionxxx3359Facts

Jokic doesn’t play good defense…

He doesn't play defense

Jokic plays against a lot of 6’10 centers😂😂😂

I would bet the top 50-100 kids in every recruiting cycle get better training than Luka got at the same age. Outside of playing with the grown men which American kids have that option they just rarely choose to go over seas as top recruits. Lamelo did but I can't think of anyone else.

@@Travis89-ob5ttI think playing with older players in a environment with much tougher rules and learning things from coaches and teammates but also getting along with older vets helps international players because they learn the fundamentals in addition to being a focal point to a team and a locker room. Playing with players you're same age or slighty older with fancy trainers everywhere you go helps but if you're not learning the fundamentals and don't capitalize on all the otherworldly athleticism or traits you have that can lower or stagnate your potential. Anthony Edward's in this case due to being extremely hungry to fix his flaws is the exception to the rule: however I will say that's where guys like Jokic, Luka, Giannis, and Wemby stand out from those in their draft classes. Also Lamelo for a guy with his situation at the time did the right thing and maybe one day besides that rookie year we will see that the nbl did a lot for him as a player and a leader.

True. Sir Garfield Sobers is the GOAT , imo

There are more football and basketball programs in the AA community than baseball and soccer🤷🏽

@@gothamcity4206 you might be too young to remember a time where African Americans were very prominent in the game of baseball where you had huge African-American stars. However, as time has gone, baseball is pretty expensive for inner city kids where real estate to have baseball fields is not easy to come by. Also, baseball equipment is can be pretty expensive and camps. However, when you have a lot of the Latin countries, even though individually, some of these people may be poor. But as a country and the programs that they can put on to develop their kids, there's a lot more resources and everything so African Americans really stop even trying and going after baseball a lot basketball. You could just pick up a ball and go to a parking that's very cheap and easy and accessible. However, these days just picking up a boil and going to the park is not going to get you NBA ready anymore as other groups and other people are able to hire full-time trainers and staff to work on skills, train, etc. So the point stands you will see the same way that happened in baseball, a decrease in the amount of African American basketball players. Football is still a very uniquely American sport. However, you do have other communities starting to pursue football and compete in football as well so as other groups. Begin desire those spots more and compete for those spots more and African Americans have less resources to try to compete back. That is just a simple nature of it.

​@@gothamcity4206no it wasn't AA were dominating baseball before any sport

The only way to fix this is get rid of high school and college basketball. In Europe, good players get their GED and go pro at 15. High School/AAU/NCAA Division 1 isnt tough enough competition

100%. So want Luka to win to watch the rest of the black septics lose their racist little minds.

He's American. He plays for DR due to his mother's heritage. But he was born and raised in the US.

@@BirdLives7 Facts he's a brotha fasho!!!

Well he's a talk show host so what he's supposed to like duh

@@anthonytaylor7928 Well, he could let the other "talk show host" finish a sentence and stop interrupting. Not sure what that has to do with being a "talk show host"...duh

Honestly that's really what it is my Guy. It's really unfortunate that the priorities have shifted😅😂 but yo everybody riding that influencer social media wave. It is what it is ya know

The problem is " da culture ".

What a lazy a$$ take! Everybody's on social media dum dum

@@pvl6340you might be right until to you realize the joker stay on social media 🤷‍♀️😂 him and those horses 🤷‍♀️ so what’s your point

@@pvl6340HONESTLY, BOTH OF YOU GUYS ARE STUPID! THE RULES OF THE GAME HAS CHANGED SO EURO PLAYERS COULD HAVE A CHANCE! THE GAME IS NOT PHYSICAL ANYMORE, NO DEFENSE IS BEING PLAYED AND THAT SUITS THE WYTE OWNERSHIP AND EURO PLAYERS! BRING BACK THE 80’s & 90’s STYLE OF PLAY AND EUROPEAN PLAYERS WOULD NOT LAST HALF THE SEASON!!

5/6 of the top 10 picks this year will be international. Next year Nolan Traoré (France) will be #2 maybe number 1.

European players are allowed to become professionals as teenagers, the US obviously doesn't allow that. All that stuff you said American players don't have is BS, European players can barely play defense and the league makes it harder and harder to even play defense. If the NBA allowed players to play defense again Europeans would become liabilities quick.

@@904TallerTim they have better fundamentals

Facts and Americans like Europeans because they can demean them without any consequences. American Blacks fights back​@@904TallerTim

Exactly. In your book. God only knows what is driving your bias.

Dude be quite you don't know what the hell you're talking about

NEW YORK HAD GREAT PLAYERS COME OUT OF THERE, BUT THEY NEVER DOMINATED LIKE YOU IMPLYING!

@@firsteyebeats2617 You are too young.

The majority of people didn't like the spurs or watch them. Great team

Technically SGA and Murray are American born players because Canada is in North America along with the USA🤷🏽

Do you understand what the warning about “going extinct” means?

It's jealousy, bigotry, xenophobia... in denial that the world has caught up to us.

Nobody hates jokic, he's fans are annoying tho. But luka? He's definitely annoying, crying about calls 24/7 , he's a white lebron.

​@@hintssabbat I definitely agree about Luka, but Jokic gets tons of disrespect and hate from ppl in the media and retired players like Gil Arenas.

Yup , it’s usually black ppl hating “ racists “ . Imagine if the roles were reversed

Let that be said about a black player…

Duncan was solid on defense.

Chris is kind of a black nationalists , so he feels the NBA is a Black American thing

He’s low key racist , imagine the roles were reversed

spell out the words homie

Spelling is a skill.

Luka/Jokic/Giannis/Embiid/SGA/Wemby already in the League, Sarr/Risacher/Topic are top10 picks in this years draft, Sarr/Risacher will be the 1st and 2nd pick. 5 of the currently projected Top10 picks in 2025 are also international. Its just starting my friend... its just starting!

well its a start isnt it?😂 there was never an era in nba where top 3 players are from overseas., gianis jokic and luka. so its gonna happen in the near future if the young amerivan hoopers dont step up

He's not pure because he doesn't play defense

He has no competition that’s why I don’t enjoy it. At least Duncan battled against Shaq and kd

@@anthonytaylor7928 Americans always think that highlight worthy blocks is the only criteria for defense but its not, defensive rebounds,deflections and steals are also part of 'defense'

It’s still better than what it was before. Better to get “pimped” by your father and help the family than to get pimped by your millionaire College coach for NOTHING

I guess as long as they're still getting they're degree. That should always be most important. Some of these guys jump ship with no life boat thinking they're better than they are and they sit in the portal till it closes then poof there goes everything they had a month ago.

​@tjleaf3510 you call getting to showcase yourself for the NBA and free education, nothing?

​@@soda8736lol the old free education line haha getting paid in books. Lol them coaches like getting paid in dollars not books and the players caught on

@jaahnnn I wonder if you told the ancestors of some of the players a free education was just books.. Also the coaches have to pay for their own living quarters and are considered emplyess, so why wouldn't they get paid? Also I'm sure the people leaving school with 40000 in dept would love to not have that.

lol bull and you wish

Stop it😂 Americans were watching the NBA before international players were in the league 😂 one thing you should know about America and Americans is NBA, NFL, MLB will always be watched

@@devontacosby8593 I’m not sure. I am picking the argument to the extreme but if the Pistons, or Hawks, or Pacers one day have all international players, that will affect domestic consumption. Americans aren’t that open minded. Are Americans watching foreign leagues now?

@@Dustyphoto915 bro stop it🤷‍♀️😂 Americans are watching the foreign players that’s playing a America sport 😂😂 you don’t see Americans playing rugby, soccer 🤷‍♀️ just think about it the joker won a championship and a African American ( GOAT JAMES) was getting more attention and recognition 😂 to the poor coach Malone was emotional about it 😂 WHEN YOU HAVE AFRICAN AMERICANS THATS BETTER everything else is irritating

@@Dustyphoto915 see you using the IF FACTOR 😂 that’s like wishful thinking 😂 you have to understand all through history and life AFRICAN AMERICA HAS BEEN THE MONEY, ATTENTION, THE REASON WHY THE SPORTS ARE GOING

Your right

Europeans wasn’t playing in the NBA 50 years ago stop the cap. The really start coming in early 00’s. Don’t need to lie

@@yvans.Swen Nater played in the 1970’s.

@@zvbx The difference is back then the money wasn't worth justifying leaving your home and family behind, there wasn't instant communication half way across the world like we have now. There was no calling your parents to check up on them, there wasn't any keeping up with friends, smartphones weren't around. Would you risk a comfortable life at home doing well for yourself playing a sport for a living to go to somewhere you had nothing, couldn't speak their language and had no friends? It's only been relatively recently that the world has made a massive effort into learning English with the domination of American media. A lot of those issues have changed in recent times, which is why we're seeing the current trend that we are. It's not that Europeans have suddenly learned how to play basketball it's that there were non-basketball related circumstances that prevented them having the impact they do today.

@@randomuruk7230 None of that stopped Swen Nater and yes I’d go somewhere if I didn’t speak the language because if interested I’d learn the language and make new friends if i chose to. There’s Major League Baseball players and NHL players that don’t speak English or French today but they still come to North America to play. Now a better example that you could have used is the fact that several of the basketball players from certain European could not just up and play here because of the way things were politically at that time and for some them life was not necessarily comfortable as you say.

@@zvbx Jesus christ this is by far the most delusional comment I've seen in a good year. Swen Nater was brought to America after a tv show found out he was abondened in an orphanage as a 9 year old by his mother and step-father who immigrated to America, he didn't even know what basketball was. You wouldn't learn the language, because you wouldn't even have a concept of what it's like. You'd be ostracised for your inability to communicate and most likely looked down on (the story of pretty much every immigrant ever). "There’s Major League Baseball players and NHL players that don’t speak English or French today but they still come to North America to play" You conveniantly left out the fact that's in the modern era with smartphones, translators, instant communication with family and friends back home, social media boosting stock which increases job security, them making enough money to basically travel home and back everyday if they really wanted to etc.

Right...barely getting solid 2 way players anymore

And a African(Siakim their second best player)

That is a fascinating take

I dont think its skillsets as much as I think its culture.

Well said but black American they need to stop crying like babies and level up they game.

Jokic and luka are anomalies who knows when will see another joker and luka after they retire. When bird retired it took us 40 yrs to get a dirk.. who imo is not on the level of a bird luka or jokic..

Bird retired in 1992 and Dirk was Drafted in 98…

I know right

Yes the majority is us born but the majority of that majority are trash players. You clearly missed the convo. American born players need to step up their game. The europeans are coming..damn ppl (americans) are slow🤦🏾

And its only 1 or 2 of them at a time not the whole league. These guys want it both ways lol they want to grow the game but they don't want anyone to catch the usa at the same time

america have the numbers, they can make the best national team because they have excellent players in every position, but the top dogs in the positions are majority international, look the 1st all nba team, 4 of 5 are international

The last four or five MVPs are foreign born this year there wasn't even an American MVP candidate
