The NBA Media’s Hate of International Players… 

even less to imagine, any sports commentator wouldn't be intimidated

Ye but it happened in Greece so it doesnt count

I mean.. you are completely right when compared to these morally bankrupt individuals

hahahaha lol so true

USA media LOVES trainwreck personalities and highly political (left wing) athletes like Colin Kaepernick, even if he sucks at his sport and hasn't played in serious league since his mid 20s.

Lol crazy how fast they switch

Hahaha facts 🤣🤣 they changed to now” he’s been playing since 16” lmao you weren’t saying that at the beginning.

Yup, somehow they use it to discredit him too. Implying that the only reason he looks better than others in his draft class is because Europe prepared him for the NBA. Like, so what? He doesn't just look good compared to his draft class, he looks great compared to players that have been in the league for twice as long.

Yes And saying that he cheated the process playing pro and not going to college

Honestly has luke won anything

It is becoming more undeniable for them though which is good. Like Embiid, Giannis, Jokic have been so dominant they have to vote for them in MVP race. And with Victor Wembanyama coming in this league is becoming more and more international. At some point they have to stop denying it, at least I hope lol

they want the sport to become international but hate on the talent coming from overseas

It's not that they dont want FORIEGN PLAYERS, it's that FOREIGN PLAYERS aren't as marketable to peeople who aren't foreign, which is most NBA FANS.

@@princeluke6340 Whether or not they are marketable has to do with how the media portrays them. If you have journalists saying stupid things or not even naming you, it is obvious that it will be difficult for the people of the United States to see them as the stars that they are. The media for most are the bridge between their homes and reality, and not all of us take the bother to do our own research

@@nothgu so basically they want their money not their talent.

They say what their audience wanna listen. If they didn't talk shit about some players they would barely been known.

@@trakkadda if the whole world love you there is only one way to stand out

Rationalization is the second strongest human drive

He's a freak on the court and in the sheets 😈

Bro this comment cant be a day old… Freak is universally considered the best player and I’m team goat James

Yeah imagine that... To be accepted, you have to become one of these histerical social network fuckups, clash with everyone, be toxic as fuck... That's their "normality". We are doomed.

I mean giannis uses social media and stuff, he did reject the whole big market, super team thing though so maybe that’s it

@@finn54123 the entire world uses social media but it is not centered on American culture

True

Facts

16 playing pro ball is insane!

@@WillSoTrill Not. Play at starter with 17 with a Eurobaskte and Euroleague contender is insane

@@WalterModel45 just for comparison how great that is. Dirk was drafted as 2nd league player in germany ( i am pretty sure at that time that didnt even count as professional player). Doncic was the MVP of the 2nd best league in the world and ppl still said he didnt have what it takes to play in the NBA its crazy to me.

When you hear the segments it's beyond clear that they haven't watched a single game of him.

I think you got it the other way round. The NBA has rules that make offense much easier.

Yup!

I remember some idiots saying that too then I asked why does jokic lead in every other stat other than points for that season and wins more games shouldn’t be the mvp? Their answer jokic isn’t as popular as curry biggest bs I’ve ever seen.

Well spotted. Double standards at their best.

Don’t even get me started on him saying “when are the American superstars going to win the trophy?”

Perkins a Black Racist..... Jokic is a Monster..,. Perkins SUCKED..... Compared to Jokic Perkin's Got No Game..... It's funny he SUCKED so Bad ....

Any 7'1'' with 340 lbs and solid vertical can be Shaq...this is how stupid that statement is

Right. What they fail to understand is that Doncic didn’t become great because he was pro before becoming an adult, but he became a pro that early because he was that great. Literally touted as the wonder boy for most of his life yet some Americans want to act like you can just put any 16 year old in euro league and they’ll improve.

Nah. Not “Europe is nothing compared to the NBA.” /

@@bokaboka4675 "7'1'' with 340 lbs and solid vertical can be Shaq" and this is why you failed highschool

People still misspronounce Giannis today is the sad fact and it's just 2 syllables

The dude doesn't care if he's the face of the Nba or not. But we all know that he is

That's why they had to create the name "Greek Freak"

Giannis is easier to say but if your name doesn't have a certain ring to it is hard to be the face the NBA will lose popularity if name isn't marketable but he's definitely a top 3 to 5 player in the league

Who cares abt face of league I rather be best player in league

Crazy!

Acho is Nigerian too. He just has a four letter name and a brother that was also in the NFL 🙃 but yeah that’s super messed up to say

Not that I want to defend these xenophobic morons, but talking about athleticism... The way that word is used schould be really looked at as they are not as athletic like most of the guys they are competing against but for sure more athletic than most of us "normal" people. I actually hope, that's they mean to say, haha.

Like the Athlete Perk is! He built those muscles working out at Mickey D's

You forgot to mention that they’re white. That’s a HUGE part of this. American players think they can coast just because we used to dominate. They’re being out worked by the Europeans, every day from the age of 12.

If Jokic had the same muscle definition and body percentage as AD a lot of people would have a totally different perception of him

Also. people associate lean muscle mass with athleticism. I know a lot of flabby people that can move and a lot of lean people that can't and vice versa. Just because you look athletic doesn't make you athletic and there is more to athletics than speed and power.

Exactly 👏

Aye thank you man! (Most of us) try to keep it real haha

yeah they are beyond crazy, i also avoid them almost entirely for channels like this one

i watch analysts to see how crazy they are today. Mostly i watch shannon and skip and its always fun to see them move the goalpoast for certain players.

Sheesh what a take by him

Listen to people like Chuck and Shaq when Yao was about to come to the NBA. It was a racism onslaught.

He's racist as f***, Stephen A Smith said Ohtani can't be the face of baseball cuz he don't speak English.

@@bmsuperstar1 What did they say?

@@SuperThisen they were ultra racist. And funny thing was, Yao was ultra dominant from day one lol

He also doesn't get 1/10th of the hate that Jokic and Doncic get. I don't even know why Giannis is being brought up, other than to try and divert attention away from anti-white racism by trying to make it a "xenophobia" issue. Wake me up when Giannis and Embiid and Wemby get significant hate from the usual suspects who are always bashing Jokic and Luka.. people like Kendrick Perkins, Nick Wright, Gilbert Arenas, Shannon Sharp, Skip Bayless, Sheryl Swoops, or any of the other racists that litter the sports media these days.

@@JakeKoenigI’m old enough to remember Harden inferring Giannis only won his MVPs because he was tall.

Statistically Jokić was among the best defenders in the league last season. Ignorant jackasses who don't in actuality watch his games call him a liability. The guy is not a terrific rim protector, but he's an excellent defender.

@@bmsuperstar1 lol nope box plus minus this year is so low he’s 18th among centers who started in the playoffs defensive rating is horrible during the playoffs

@@AC2k14GOD So? Was he the MVP of playoffs? NO!!! He was regular season's MVP because he had the best numbers in the history of basketball. Statistically he had a historically significant season. That's not a matter of opinion. It's just the way things are. Plus he did all that without two of his best players in the team that's not anything special even when they are there. Plus he can actually play and provide for an entire season. You have nothing, nothing to take away from his season. All you can do is cry like the rest of haters. Fat white boy is the MVP two years in a row on brain power alone. That's gotta hurt.

@@bmsuperstar1 why you hurt he gets exposed by great teams in the playoffs? regular season barely matters and his playoffs advanced stats is literally gives you an idea how overrated he is even his best highlight is him getting cooked by Steph to seal the game

@@bmsuperstar1 there’s a reason why in his 2 MVP seasons he hasnt touched the Finals

Of course Actually basketball was more popular at those days than now xd

@@WalterModel45 100%

For basketball Embiib is french now (I am so happy)

@@WalterModel45 why do you non Americans act so snobbish nba was not popular to foreigns until yao ming

@@wussrestbrook1200 what

I agree luka going win mvp multiple mvps giannias going win more to and jokic going win another and embif going win one

@@AW-zk5qb oh really? a country with 350 million people is beating tiny countries. amazing. hang that banner! :D

​@@jackmayor3574 Mills dropped 50 points against team USA at the Olympics last year and he is also much older than all the others, now well past his prime

@@Stadionpunainen For sure buddy, both amazing players but Timmys defense stood out. Also playing with the admiral I'm sure helped his development early in his career

Stop acting like the rest of the world lives in wooden huts and shit. It’s just a different culture there and there’s no room for drama queens like the nba

Not a really impressive game,(is impressive what he can do but not impressive to see or sell), also doesnt have an interesting personality on the court.

He's not a Knick or Laker, that's why

Tatum is a great player who just led his team to the finals. Jokic just lost in the first round in 5 games right after getting swept the prior year winning MVPs while only leading his teams to 40 wins

@@tridra5714 tatum has brown smart, meanwhile jokic two other best players Murray and mpj were injured, they got to the conference finals when they were healthy. Pointless argument Tatum isn’t sniffing the playoffs by himself.

@@mcnally1456 oh please. Tatum has made the playoffs every year of his career through injuries to Kyrie,Kemba, jaylen,rob Williams, and more and made the playoffs every time he has been to the conference finals 3 time going at the very least 6 games in each of his ECONF series. It seems to me that all you just watched Tatum in the finals and never watched him play before that

@@tridra5714 he had his other players that are never injured 😂 what you even saying, swap Tatum and jokic and Tatum isn’t sniffing the playoffs. Factos

@@tridra5714 nobody can win without their other players, look at Jordan didn’t get out the first round until he got pippen, jokic two best players were injured all season and still made the playoffs.

Thank you man we going to the top! And aye I saw the opportunity and took it 💀

I just subscribed as well, great video

Are u really pulling the race card? ☠️ 💀 ☠️ I thought liberals in the states were bad, turns out Europeans are even worse. Btw Europeans are overrated cus teams want them for marketing reasons. The same thing happens to Americans footballers

That is a truth right there.

Well said

every Nba star rose due to hard work and ethic

I always laugh at the "athleticism" thing. To me it just means you can jump a bit higher, maybe you're a bit faster. Athleticism doesn't cover footwork, strength, stamina, and both Jokić and Luka got those in spades. Both are the strongest physically at their respective positions, they can play for a long freaking time(Jokić even broke some record in that regard while he was still fat), both of their footwork is great, plus they are smarter than any other player in the entire league. Jokić can run the game on brains alone and he does sometimes, and he's unstoppable while doing it. They are way, way more tactically and fundamentally sound than 99.9 percent of players in the NBA and they are the living proof you don't need to jump high to play basketball. All you need is a brain.

fellow croat here 👋, I believe Divac was in a feud with Dončić's father (serbian roots or smth) over choosing Slovenia. I guess being petty rubs onto people too much sometimes

@@darcinba Yeah, the stories were along the lines of there being some kind of a personal feud. But if any of that's true, he shouldn't be able to get a job anywhere near an NBA franchise ever again...

@@flipflopzg e sad ga i ti pretera... Personalno su u svadji. Jeste Divac tu taj koji bi trebao da bude zreliji em je stariji em se očekuje to od njega... Ne moraš tako agresivno da misliš.

right

Oh wait yeah I actually do remember this story. Wasn’t around for it then but have definitely heard about this

I don't understand why the sun's didn't draft him the Sun's head coach at the time coached him in Europe.

Starting to? Or has already.

I’m a southeast Asian form Malaysia and I can answer that. Is very simple. The Europeans, Africans, Asians are showing tremendous development in many categories including sports against America’s whites, blacks, yellow, and brown. While America declines in terms of economic power and influential power (just look at their polarise media and what they’ve done to lose trust of the world for the last two decades). It won’t be long before America has to start listening to the world.

what are you talking about? Europe and the rest of the world are much more racist and the US is the most diverse nation in the world. The "rest of the world" is not overtaking the US. The US still dominates sports, economy, military Nobel Prizes, media, technology, top universities, music, tv, movies etc

@@bgdgdgdf4488 The US is the richest nation in the world, has the strongest military, largest economy, most influential politically, best universities, best sports nation, dominates music, movies, TV shows, top companies, top internet sites, most diverse, immigrant nation, most Nobel Prize winners by far, first nation to put a man on the moon, fought off Germany and Japan and rebuilt Europe through the Marshall Plan, protected Europe from Communism and fought off communist Soviet Union, US gives more foreign aid than any other nation in the world. The US also provides the breakthroughs in much of medicine and technology that Europeans then use, without having created with their system. Europeans are able to live in a peaceful world order where they can spend less on military and focus on their homogenous societies. But that doesn’t happen out of a vacuum. It comes from the Pax Americana the US provided.

@@aizac91 what are you talking about? The US is still by far the most successful sports nation, the largest economy, the strongest military by far, the dominant nation in culture, music, tv, and film, the epicenter of development in technology and companies, has by far the most top universities etc. Even with polarization, the US provides the hard power for liberal democracies, and Russia's invasion of Ukraine and China's actions have made the world wake up yo how good they've had it under Pax Americana

You can add Embiid as he may play for France next year.

Don't forget Gallinari

It’s a lot more than before now. 4 straight international MVPs and we’re probably headed for 5 straight

But skip is white

Nick weight is white as well

Nick wright is white as well

Very true

It’s not racism. It’s allegedly xenophobia. Use terms correctly.

Facts

Balkans not Balcans (line # four correction) LOL Da Jokerzilla is badder than the Expendables Team!

Thank you! And exactly, holding something against a player for being from a certain country is so wrong

Nobody wants to touch the racism take since it's "sensitive", and believe it or not, a lot of Americans think that racism goes only from whites to another races. I understand that people whom don't have European heritage have suffered a lot during the years till this day, and that whites started it, but it doesn't exclude members of other races from being racist also.

@@Woody13woodpecker whites love to act oppressed if the league was xenophobic why did Yao have a great n legendary career how did mutombo also dirk and Olajuwon what about Andrei Kirilenko what about Al horford, Marc,ibaka, Rubio, porzingis, Schroeder, mills, Adam, sabonis, bogdanovic, siakam,Giddey,ingles,poeltl,nurkic,Markkanen and there’s many more players outside of the USA that’s balling rn and back then to try n say the league is racists n xenophobic because one guts is stupid asf to say stop it

And the players u call trash would go overseas n bust ass

@@Woody13woodpecker Racism is a 2 way street

You know how many European white busts there have been

Weirdest thing he's gonna play for French national team at EuroBasket, because people from all countries who were European colonies have automatic right to citizenship from country that colonized their country in the past. Cameroon was French colony in the past. The same way Ibaka played for Spain. So technically Joel is more European than American. Lauri Markkanen also came to USA right after highschool, as 19 years old kid in 2016 and played college basketball, very similar like Joel, nobody considers him American. Only foreign players that are considered as "Americans"were Rik Smits and Detlef Schremph, since they played full college years and were mostly products of American basketball. Joel could drop into that category, but mostly why Media tries to hype him because NBA is trying desperately to expand at African market and they think having African player as one of the faces of the league would help in that, similar like they did with Yao Ming and China. What they don't get Africa is actually continent with 55 different countries and languages, people from Tunis, Algeria, Egypt, Uganda, Morocco etc etc don't care about some Cameroon's basketball player. Basketball isn't football where people from whole Africa care about some football Superstar from Africa, like they were care for George Weah, Didier Drogba or Samuel Eto'o. That's why even Joel decided to play for France, because that's his biggest chance to participate at Olympics. And since France become Africa 2.0 in all sports (here in Europe we make fun about them all the time), that won't be problem for French basketball Association.

Can be that as well yeah

How do you explain that neither Parker Ginobili or Gasol are among the top 75 NBA players of all time? It is so obvious that it is even stupid to deny it. That Lillard or Anthony Davis are there is pure marketing strategy for the league. But that's exactly what annoys me, they shit on foreign players when they need to, not realizing that they could have much more benefits. At the end of the day, the NBA is the only thing that can compete ina future with Soccer at a streaming level outside the United States.

That doesn’t help explain Gianni’s everyone likes crazy dunks and man posters almost one person a game lol
