Its not. You can insert any number of countries in there and it would be true for them as well. If you want to make a case for a german leauge or spanish league or something producing lots of nba talent then thats fine. We just happen to be talking about france because that is where the player in the discussion played.

So compared to what? What's the metric we are comparing?

The and part has been a part of the discussion the whole time. You chose to ignore and focus on only one part.

I didn't ignore the other part, I was literally saying the other part. I repeated it several times, in fact lol. Is it not possible to have different opinions on the two arguments? Or do you have to disagree with both because I disagree with one?

because the talent level of prospects is not the same as what the US has and they cannot produce NBA stars with regularity.

Exactly. This is what we are talking about. Its not xenophobic or whatever. Its just the way it is. Basketball is different here in the states. There are hoops everywhere. Everyone has played basketball here. Of course france wont produce many nba players. Just like germany wont and finland wont and yugoslavia wont.
Not many other countries are very good at producing nfl prospects either.

US is not very good at producing soccer prospects in the top leagues. No biggie. Such a weird thing to get so hung up about lol.

Yeah, most of his points came from fast break layups and dunks so I would hope it’s high.

He shot 5/21 from 3 in the playoffs with most of them being open shots. Not great.

Damn he missed some 3s must be awful then. There isn't more to basketball than shooting, that's for sure. Tell me what else you can makeup from looking at box scores because we know you don't actually watch games.

Well i came out and asked you if its ok that we discuss a players production AND where they played like we have been doing all along. A simple yes or no would suffice.

Good lord man. You are really missing the point.

If this is true then you should be able to show that there are way more nba players from that league than from the NCAA.

No you shouldn't. We are talking about grown men playing professional basketball vs college amateurs... a lot of them very young and underdeveloped.

College amatuers who can play in the nba though (if the nba were allowed to take them anyway) and grown men (who the nba could take if they wanted to) who cant.
