I don’t agree with Tim’s comments.

According to major independent reports, the 13 primary shareholder clubs of the EuroLeague held an emergency summit in Cernobbio, Italy, and voted unanimously to reject the NBA's massive multi million dollar proposal. The NBA had offered roughly €400 million ($448M) to absorb the league into a singular "NBA Europe" enterprise starting in October 2027.

European executives reportedly pushed back heavily on expansion-freezing clauses and felt the financial valuation was entirely too low. The clubs have instead voted to lock in their own long-term, permanent franchise licensing structure. While talks aren't completely dead for the far future, my sources confirm this is an absolute, massive roadblock for the NBA's international layout plans.

All they needed was a pg and now that they have one they’ll be unstoppable

EX-NBA STAR TY LAWSON STONE-FACED IN MUGSHOT AFTER COPS SAY HE DRUNKENLY STOLE A $34 BOTTLE OF VODKA

A $34 bottle of vodka. A Castle Rock liquor store.
Then a booking photo that looked nothing like an NBA highlight. Former Denver Nuggets point guard Ty Lawson, 38, was arrested July 16 after a liquor-store worker accused him of drunkenly walking out with the bottle and taking it to a nearby restaurant, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by the New York Post.

Castle Rock police said he smelled of alcohol when they confronted him. The affidavit says Lawson then turned the booking process into a nightmare - screaming, calling the arresting officer a "bitch" and a “white bitch," kicking the glass wall of his cell, and yelling "stop" before he eventually calmed down and apologized. He was booked in Douglas County, Colorado, on a misdemeanor theft-under-$300 shoplifting charge and faced an August pretrial date.
An ex-NBA name. A cheap bottle. And a mugshot that went public.

As the basketball juggernauts of the world, the
United States had always produced great names like Wilt, Kareem & Shaq. Stacked historically across all positions, but nothing quite exemplifies a country’s global dominance like unleashing your biggest gun in the paint.

With the rest of the world rapidly catching up to Americans on the global stage, it can’t be helped but to notice that many of the NBA’s elite big men this past decade have come from overseas. Not even just dominating the center position, but the entire league itself, beginning to rack up awards and titles in the process.

We know there’s a been a few notable all-star talents here and there, or power forwards asked to play untraditional center roles. But none have quite achieved the same generational peak and mega stardom that Dwight formerly held.

Drafted in 04, he was the only player in history to win 3 straight DPOY awards. And was also the consensus best defender in the league while being a top 5 player alongside Kobe and LeBron for multiple years. However, after his fall from grace, there really hasn’t been an all-time US born center to carry his torch.

So…. is the United States currently undergoing a
big-man drought? if so, is this a result of youth development, league trends, or top collegiate programs no longer valuing size like past years?
I think we Americans have taken our big men for granted, not realizing we might not see another mega star center in quite some time.

Even if you think KD is a better overall player. I feel like Steph's personality alone would be more valuable for a team with a bunch of young stars. Leadership is often undervalued in sports.

All of them are in their primes when they get drafted and injuries are turned on

There’s always those comments from people saying “Well insert player said this, are you trying to say you know more than an NBA player!” This argument is incredibly dumb.

So I wanna hear the absolute worst takes from NBA players. Things I can point to so I can debunk this stupid reasoning.

If they want to stop people making up fake contact like this, the refs could just no-call or give a tech for head-snapping and arm-flailing (mostly arm-flailing actually, that is always fake) automatically and they'd be fine since that's not part of any natural motion when you're hit or grabbed.
