Having watched the NBA since the 70s, it’s amazing how international the game has become, probably influenced by the ‘92 dream team. Last time I checked, I think 3 of the top 4 scorers in the NBA were born abroad. Pretty amazing, couldn’t have imagined it 40 years ago…
It has nothing to do with the 92 Dream Team. All that happened then was that FIBA allowed professional players to complete in Olympic basketball beginning in 1992. Part of the reason for more international players is because the NBA started realizing there's a world outside the US which likely coincided with overseas TV deals, and partly because the Cold War ended and players from ex-Communist countries in Europe could partake in professional basketball overseas instead of just representing their nations countries at the Olympics and other multi-sport events and the FIBA world championships. It's the same dynamic when we're talking about professional boxing. Eastern Europe and Central Asia always had great boxers but they just weren't competing for professional belts but they did dominate the Olympics and other multi-sport events and the IBA amateur boxing world championships.
^ In other words, the fall of Communism and the increase in globalization through TV deals and cultural awareness is why there's more international players in the NBA. Most of the players are from Communist countries that fell in the 1990s, and even Spain was a right-wing Francoist country that was heavily isolated from the world until the 1980s, while Turkiye and Greece were also run by military juntas into the 1980s.
@@poppinc8145 Nice analysis. Agree with it but I think you’re minimizing the effect of the Dream Team. Prior to that time, US college all stars would quickly form a team, and still dominate most professional teams from other countries (except’72, though that outcome is controversial), whose players had already been playing for years together and developed chemistry. Jordan, Bird, Magic and co. were like rock stars at the ‘92 olympics, and helped usher in cultural awareness (and TV markets) to a lot of the world. The kids of that time grew into the talented international stars in the NBA now, and many of them speak of idolizing and emulating the dream team. The sociopolitical forces you mention were critical, but I think having such a dominant star studded US team in the Olympic Games was highly influential in raising the caliber of international basketball. There’s no way a US college team now could dominate international teams as they did in the past.
KP seems like a legitimately nice person like I mean you nvr really know but some ppl jus come off as good hearted like he seem like if he sees something happening to someone he gon step in asap
KP needs to looking back at Larry and watch his game. He didn't put up the number of 3s as they do now, but he used the 3 as a great weapon to put the dagger into the opposing teams heart.
Mav front office is pretty good on trades/sign up😂😂😂super heavy on back court and ignore the D😂😂😂 glad that KP is happy now and balling, wish him keep staying healthy.
Glad to have him on the wizards, even with our "mid-three" haha, but aye man shoutout to KP, his english has gotten so much better that I hardly even hear the accent anymore
Man this makes me wish he stayed in dallas. Cause they would need that defense so much now. But the injuries were too much. Can you imagine luka, brunson how he was in last years playoffs or not and kp actually being healthy qnd therefore being in a rhythm. A dangerous team not to mention finney smith and all the others would still be on that team
The reason that Kp did poor was the team not injuries, the team forced him to play as a pick and popper and didn’t allow him the ball outside the catch and shoot often the other time he got the ball was in a pick and roll, he didn’t get given the ball too often in the post though he was taller than the defenders and they didn’t let him work with the ball, largely you could blame Luka for being so ball dominant, he’s more ball dominant than mj and lebron, even if he’s a good playmaker all the players need the ball to gain a rhythm which the way that team was relying on Luka simply wasn’t going to happen
@@nikkrelj471 brah...so Dallas team wasn't/ isn't bad, it was just KP, and we can hope to see a championship soon? With a superstar like Luka you'd think there are just a few more pieces to get in order to win it all.

this is so crazy I read years bac he was a 6'3'' guard and really good one in his youth but a one foot growth spurt? That is stupid. Some guys are 7 feet by their senior year like the Lopez brothers (and 240 lbs), other like Rodman at 18 went from 5'8" to 6'7" in a summer (which is also crazy). So I wasn't surprised he played like a natural guard at that height because so many have been since childhood and stuck with it.
I’m happy he’s playing great like I’ve known he can, I just wish he could have been healthy and playing like this on the mavs. It pains me seeing him and Brunson ball out knowing we could still have both of them.

@@EMILFEIKMAN Appreciate the response
@@EMILFEIKMAN existing lithuanian and latvian names. not sure about others. the names are surely shared between lithuania and latvia, for men and women. kristupas is kristaps. andris is andrius, aivars is aivaras, edgars is edgaras and so on. for women a lot of ievas in both countries and many others as well. these are the traditional latvian and lithuanian names. did you mean anything else by latvian versions of existing names?
@@gameimprovements4347 Christoph, Kristov or Kristoff or Christopher its just the Latvian version of a European name like: Andrei, André, Andreas, Andrew
this is so crazy I read years bac he was a 6'3'' guard and really good one in his youth but a one foot growth spurt? That is stupid. Some guys are 7 feet by their senior year like the Lopez brothers (and 240 lbs), other like Rodman at 18 went from 5'8" to 6'7" in a summer (which is also crazy). So I wasn't surprised he played like a natural guard at that height because so many have been since childhood and stuck with it.
Men grow up to the age of 21...women up to 18.
Anything beyond that starts becoming abnormal and deformities' start ...
Zeke loves talking about handling the ball.
4:55 just wow
Lmao wow I was just going to comment on that
It seems like these analysts think about how to come up with questions all day 🤔 😂😂
I’m happy he’s playing great like I’ve known he can, I just wish he could have been healthy and playing like this on the mavs. It pains me seeing him and Brunson ball out knowing we could still have both of them.
JT new hype man for his outfits 😂
Ironic huh now it's MARCUS Smarts Spot he is taken! Boii wants to see it work for moving Marcus it better!
