>Curry after watching that first tag team fold Ayesha up and use her like a fleshlight for the first time

euros will N E V E R gain this one advanced stat.

just remember, this will always be an american game. international stars may come trend here and there but american stars (lebron, MJ, ja, wade, russell, wilt, malone) will always reign supreme. Embiid has been retrofitted to be an African American. Most of his adult life he has known American culture, and plays for one of the most American teams in existence.

Euros and Int's will almost always be associated with being a role player and an auxiliary piece, not a main piece.

why would anyone talented waste time playing in Germany when you wouldn't break 100k a year playing there. You would literally be better in an office job or a 3rd/4th division football team. Come up with something better

Sources: There’a optimism Nets star Ben Simmons could make debut during first round of the NBA playoffs as long as his progression continues in strengthening his legs and back. Simmons has been ramping up his workload and is expected to continue doing so.

lol this changes shit

100k a year is what a Chefarzt is makeing lol you don't geht that amount of Money in an Office yob

woah first round exit to second round exit

Nets going from a 2nd round exit to a 1st round exit it's scary hours

I don't wanna see sosho get his back btfo bros...

IT and Engineering fields would beg to differ, especially when it's USD we're talking about not euros

t. ingenieur

Does this improve the Nets chances or hurt them? Isn't Simmons like a Jekyll and Hyde when it comes to regular season vs playoffs? Also he has had no time to develop chemistry with the team. I know he's a supermax contract but I don't think I'd play him if I was Steve Nash, or at least not promise to play him more than a few minutes and see how he looks

cant wait til i see this nigga pass on a layup against a behemoth like jrue holiday

>MVP top 4
>Serb, African, African, Slovenian
>teams will never be built around foreigners

So you can eat playing ball. PJ Tucker turned his Bundesliga gig into 60 mil in career earnings.

Which game should I watch right now?
Can't tell which one has the biggest implications

Both of the two non black MVP candidates operate on ridiculous amounts of retarded advanced stats and made up records to elevate them rather than genuine eye test skill or basic "dawg" energy

isn't there an influx of immigrants for IT work in germany? i know a lot of my flip friends are now working in germany. maybe (((they))) want to drive your salaries lower by hiring thirdies.

Cope

Grizzlies sitting all their key players today, should be impactful for final east conference seeding

>sit under the rim, use your max vert (2 inches) to lay a ball in
>so fat he literally makes the nuggets suffer in the fastbreak by getting back slow as fuck
>is a first round exit

yeah man he's a dog!

probably, but i think that's a general problem with skilled work in the west, but i guess the germans in IT could take their talents to the irish IT sector which is extremely well paid or get a travelling job (to/from Europe) for an American firm which is pretty cushy

It's funny how much you cope because Jamal's career will be Derrick Rose tier with his knees failing due to his spaghetti frame

He’s ranked 35 in PER, cope

The way this guy speaks is so cringe.
What's the way he speaks called, ameribros?
Is it just upscale LA zoomer ?

PER some fucking bitches

>Tucker
I think he's an exception because firstly he's American so the scouts would be more interested in him and secondly he was literally league MVP in *srael and Finals MVP in Germany so he's pretty much cream of the european crop. I can't think of anyone else in the league who came from the BBL in the NBA except Schroeder and Kleber. I think European talent lies mainly in Spain, Greece, Turkey and *srael's leagues. I don't know what the pay is like there but since they are all countries far away from Germany and culturally pretty different it makes Basketball a pretty unlucrative sport for German wannabe stars

I accept your concession
