In this video, we'll explore some weird reasons why the NBA seems to have a bias against European players. See how the media portrays European players in a negative light.
The problem isn't European as much as it's white guys. Sports in the U.S. is very racist, and it starts early. Simple fact is that Jokic can score, he can play defense, and he can pass the ball. He is probably the best all-around player. Padding your stats and leading the league doesn't make you the best player. Putting up 60 on the worst team, but only 20 on the better teams then averaging 35 and declaring yourself the best? Well, yes, you are the greatest bottom feeder in the league. Look how many good teams LeWhiner ducked this season. Amazing how his foot hurts when playing a top 5 team, but is perfectly fine the next night against one of the worst 5 teams.
LeWhiner? Jokic? Are you insane by any chance? Good luck hoping for your fav. American players coming on top again, ain't never going to happen. Because I think to many people in the USA think like you. They have no clue what is going on.
"Jokic moves so slow." And yet no one can keep up with him. Weird. "He's un-athletic and out of shape." And yet he runs up and down the court in every game while the other team gets tired and winded, at altitude or not. Weird. When he retires, his face will be carved into the Mount Rushmore of NBA players right next to Jordan, Kareem, and Wilt.
it’s funny to me how some of them are using the race card against jokic. jokic was born in war torn socialist country. he experienced nato bombing aka american bombing. serbs were always represented bad in western media at the time, but even today in some cases. he grew up in poverty like the rest of serbs. and also serbs were oppressed and enslaved by ottomans for 500 years. and then someone from u.s see that his white, and think he came from privilege. good video btw, keep it up
lmaooo, most of these black players that say they grew up around the hood and now the streets is so funny to me because bro you were born in america, no matter what you have 10x more chances to make it out of whatever position you're in than 80% of the countries in the world. Im argentinian and our government has been so shit we had a 300% inflation rate with 60% of our population in full poverty. no matter how much effort some of those dudes make to get out of poverty they never will. Also crime rate is 10x worse than any american hood.
Seeing this hate towards these guys is crazy. USA stars are spoiled from 8th grade which is not the case in Europe. Look at Joker a soft looking guy with no muscle tone and he can't be stopped!!! Haha😂 Look at Lebron he's 0-11 vs Joker about to get swept.
@@ogforthreee9348 dont under estimate the fact that gun violence. drugs, access to clean water etc. is as bad in some areas of the USA as in south america.
Jokic is just not a good Commercial puppet, they cant shape him or shift him into this Hollywood Nba star they did with the guys prior to him LB,Jordan, Kobi (RIP), He is a humble guy from a village in Serbia, all he cares is about his team doing good and his horses back home, love him or hate him you must admire his humbleness and not doing the usual Super Star thing everyone did before him. Americans just got used to drama to much, why is this even in the topic of basketball what benefit basketball (nba) has from all this drama? Nothing.. they want a reaction for views and its cheap and poor from a big league as NBA to go after someone like this meanwhile him not even giving them a reason to do so or even react to it. Jokic is the Goat.!
Nice video, keep it up! As someone who is from Serbia, basketball was always our national sport, since the 60s. We are just witnessing merging of different schools of basketball now, European and US, which makes sense because the sport is more global now. People will always have those negative knee-jerk reactions, but it is what it is, things change and evolve.
@@Shondie_Andretti well it is more interesting when different people from around the world participate, at least for me. I hope that your channel grows fast soon, good luck!
Lets face it and say it. Perkins is racist. 😂 If the winner is black, he says nothing... but has the strongest opinions against "europeans" when theyre winning. 😂
3/4. Its 5/5. Jokic, Doncic, Gilgeous-Alexander, Antetokounmpo, Embiid all non US born. Now Wemby shows up. Sabonis with most triple doubles. The list goes on. Oh there's Tatum. He's USA.
Nuggets have a team that could hang with or beat the greatest NBA teams in history and the Lakers lost because of blah blah blah. The Lakers aren't on the Nuggets' level. I haven't seen Jokic even in full effort mode this entire series other than when they got down by 20 in game 2. The Nuggets are going to be well rested after this series.
Here's how you teach the Europeans a lesson: 1) FIRST, Have LeBron beat Jokic & the Nuggets.... THEN, 2) Create an all Black American team 3) Don't drive and kick it out for the 3 4) Win the NBA Championship. That'll show 'em!
2. Funny when USA need to take players from canada and imports from Africa to win. The funny part if you build 3 teams. 1. USA 2. Europa 3. rest off the world. The diffrent is not so big. And USA don´t have the best stars any more. team 2 and 3 have bigger stars in the game then 1.
There is no Filipino NBA player yet that is born and bred in the Philippines, but Raymond Townsend, Jalen Green and Jordan Clarkson have some Filipino dna in them. JC played for the Philippines even.
First time checking out your stuff this. These are some good thoughtful takes also I'm Canadian and I love that. It has always been an international game.
I wonder if Americans don't emphasize athleticism too much and ignore intelligence and ball handling. Another thing I've noticed is the Luca in particular never talks about himself -- it's always the team. He just seems to have less ego.
Jokic earned it! Luka earned it! They need to stick with the game. Race should not matter. Play the game. If you cannot handle it, then get off the court.
( I don't know anything about basketball, I randomly came across this video. ) The same thing happened in hockey about 50 years ago and the playing styles have merged. Its now really hard to tell any difference in the style of play between Swedes, Canadians, Russians, Americans, Finns, Czechs, ect ect.
Wasn't it warriors that made 3pt to come popular with their roster.. but yeh those talking bobble heads of nba panels doesn't even watch the games, perkins is racist af and he doesn't even have to take accountability of his words. welcome new normal where we have double standards. True fan of the game would see the art in ball movement and team work. Game has come long way and solo play in these days doesn't necessarily translate to wins, more often not.
The difference between Europe and the USA starts at the initial training of children. It was Kobie, who learned the basics of the game in Italy, who said he was practically ambidextrous because that was what his first coach taught and required. Besides, Europe is all about tactics and discipline of the game, in the USA it's about motor, strength and dunking as often as possible. However, there are as many points for a dunk as for a close-range throw against the backboard.
❤ awesome video. Totally subscribed. Yes evolution, that is also what the NBA wanted in the 80s right? Now they must stop complaining and play!! It is your high school and college system. US is making to much money of NBA prospects, so they don't focus on their development, as they do in Europe, but they focus on having them playing as many games as possible.
3:19 aaaactually - throwing the ball outside for the shooter to shoot a 3 is kinda known as "the Curry revolution" in the game, so what are we talking about?
Nah, Curry creates his own shot, off ball movements, pick and rolls..Golden State have movement in their plays. They never centered their offense around the paint and dish
Jokic is playing basketball as it was meant to be played ,as a team sport, not 1v1 iso plays as it was durring past 20years, thats why they hate him. ty for video was a nice !
Ill tell why. America believe that basketball is a sport that belong to America ( and its the only team sport that America plays on a world stage and THEY SUCK ) . Thats is why they are but hurt
Perkins was just speaking facts if Nash got mvp while avg 18 and having won 9 more games than Kobe who was avg 35. No one should be arguing Luka over Shai who has won 7 more games and is only avg 4 less points on a college aged team
4:50 blk boys couldn't handle da yt man standing up for himself especially to that degree. They got emasculated. Exposed the "hood ball" nonsense that still exists on ball is life. Hooper hoopers
Nobody is talking about this but you saying foreingers but its really african vs euro, and its true the rules are changed to favors non athletic white players if you deny that,and for gou to say americans only usually domnate 1 v 1 is also ignorant.
