I"m french and event when i try to get rid of my chauvinism i still think we have one of the best model for team sports devellopement in the world. Since 20ish year we are serious contenders in many world sports event (basketball, soccer, handball, volley ball, rugby...) in both men and women competitions. I can't think of any other nation can that be a serious contender in 5 worldly spread team sports. The other side of the coin is that we have basivcally the same model for individual sports (tennis, athletism...) and we really struggle to have top world individual athletes
It started for individual sport i think, let's not forget Lebrun brothers and Léon marchand for example, we're developing great talent but it only started in individual sport
@@mathislenglet5528 no, we always have some genius in individual sport, but we never really had a good "production line" of genius, except in some specific sports such as fencing. In the case of swimming, we've always been pretty good tho, just not as good as the US or Australia for example.
Video that has almost nothing to do with the actual title "Why French Basketball is Taking Over the NBA". Video is about what would be 2028 team USA vs Team France at the 2028 olympics.
Yes it’s true the US is gonna get humbled in 2028… Not just because this year we got bailed out by three players old enough to run for President of the United States. But also there’s no future clear cut MVP caliber player in team USA. The last US player to win an MVP is James Harden. While France is gonna have a prime Wemby who looks like a generational player. Like a Kareem, Jordan, and LeBron type player… But France has something on us, they play FIBA tournaments with their national teams, we don’t we just throw some random All-Stars together and hope for the best while other countries are building teams with chemistry.
I think player stability and some serious collective preparation is a decisive way not to be humbled in the future, because even if the top best players will continue to com from abroad for a while, there's a depth, about high level players, that no country is getting at, currently.
This all depends on Wembys development, if things go the way i see them, theres no roster going to keep wemby from destroying every floor he touches. There must be basketball Gods because his situation is just perfect. Pop as his coach, he now has the 1 person outside of Lebron with the highest IQ the game has probably ever seen as a teammate now in chris paul. If Chris never plays a single minute with the spurs, the amount of sheer knowledge he can give to wemby about the game in the film room and practice will be invaluable. SA may have an absolute monster brewing
French basketball has the best of both worlds. They have African descent French citizen (whether mixed or full blood black) and they have the proper coaching of the fundamentals. The USA also has the Black descent athletes but not the same discipline of the fundamentals.
Super Nice video. Vert good analysis of us future team but, and I admit my French bias, its kind of missing 2 points : 1. What Will Be French future roster (you speak about it at the end but its a bit short) and 2. European teams are more used to fiba type rules. Will usa be capable to adapt? I am not an expert wise enough to respond to that question BUT I do have the impression that the usa get more and more used to the Game. I saw the French usa Olympics finals in 2000 and I played against some of thèse players (practice etc I was not that good neither) but france was not that far White the talent gap was absurd. Anyway, I do think the us is going to adapt more and more and its cool… more Battles better basketball… love it (and just one point for france : we have 1/5 of your inhabitants… 😅😅😅 ok I am off. Great video thanks
France lost the Olympic Finals against Team USA in 2000... only by 10 points (Risacher's father was on the floor). Sure TP and Boris made a lot but BB has a lot of lovers in France for 30 years. It just needed time to improve significantly. Now with Wemby, Risacher, Traore, Sarr, Salaun... and other surprises to come, they can be an international contender. It's so hard to compete when you play Team USA : having one or two good players isn't enough.

Tony Parker Boris diaw, took over the French development youth basketball 10 years ago
