[@matthewdewey1073]

Kareem Blackston Houston has been winning for the last 2 years shooting 3s. They were the number 1 seed last year, I don’t remember where they finished this year but it was surprisingly high considering their injuries and how horrible they started off. The only team that’s really had their number is golden state, the “other” three point team. Also, the bucks shot a ton of threes this year, and they did great up until they ran into Kawhi. I don’t think you have to shoot 3s like the warriors to win, but it does seem to be trending, at least a little bit, in that direction.

It is very different kind of 'wrong' however. Porzingis' talent was mostly scouted in pre-draft workouts, he was probably close to top 100 players in Euroleague. Good, not great, with potential. Doncic's Eurloleague career was like a nuke vs KP's hand grenade. Totally different magnitudes. Doncic entered NBA as a grown man, KP entered NBA like a big question mark.

By contrast, many European countries have a homogeneous population consisting almost entirely of white people. In such countries, athletes like Luka Doncic have a chance to play and develop their skills, albeit not as thrilling and dynamic as most black athletes. Any future Larry Birds will come from Eastern Europe, not from the USA.

[@therealist1103]

@Akira S That has nothing to do with what he said.

[@smrtfasizmu6161]

It is about the system of coaching and popularity of sports. Almost all great international players came from ex Yu countries (including Luka Dončić). It's Yugoslavian school of basketball. Also, basketball is an extremely popular sport in former Yugoslavia. Also, keep in mind that people in the central Balkan are the tallest people on the planet (alongside with some Eastern African tribes, my brain is malfunctioning I can't remember their names). Also, the bias against international players exists regardless of race. Even back in the 1980s when there were many more white American players in the NBA, European players were disrespected way more than they are disrespected today. Dražen Petrović was that era's Luka Dončić and he was in the third round of the NBA draft. Also, there is an equal bias against people of color from South America as there is a bias against white international players in the NBA.

[@smrtfasizmu6161]

@Akira S You can actually. I know that Luka and Darko and all the other Euro busts receive the same amount of hype from the US media, but that's the only thing that Luka has in common with Euro busts. Seriously, there is nothing else that Luka's European career has in common with European careers of Euro busts. Darko Miličić and all the other players that you named were nobodies in Europe prior to going to the NBA. Nobody in Europe had even heard of them before they went to the NBA. Luka Dončić on the other hand was a legend in Europe prior to going to the NBA. Luka's stats in Europe were incomparable to Darko's stats or to stats of any other European bust (in fact Luka Dončić Europe accomplishments could only be compared to Dražen Petrović's accomplishments). Luka was the best player on the best European team prior to going to the NBA draft. And he was 18 years old back then. No other player that you have mentioned came close to ever in their career being a Euroleague MVP, or even just one of the best Euroleague players. Dončić on the other hand was the best Euroleague player since he was 17-18 years old. The only thing which Luka has in common with European busts is high position in the draft and the hype from the American media. If you look at his stats in Europe and his accomplishments in Europe, then there is no comparasment between Luka and any of the European busts. Before the 2018 draft, it was obvious to anyone who watched Luka that he is a generational talent.
