We know or at least people with common sense should know that lebron James is not the best player in the league and has not been the best player in the league for quite some time.
Is he Jason Goff the best American player?
I still say no cause I have eyes, you still got Anthony Edwards who we’ve seen do work.
You still got Stephen Curry still out here doing work.
You still got Kevin Durant who we’re going to see doing work.
That’s Captain America.
Put that look, we gonna go from watching the US win these games by the skin of their chinny chin chin.
So blowing them out because they got the greatest nuclear weapon that we’ve ever seen in international basketball now.
And, and also I think it, it uh should also be said how much, how much is falling on the shoulders after the roster composition.
And you know how it’s looking on Anthony Davis too.
I think Anthony Davis had himself quite the, you know, solid run, not just rim defender, but what he could do taking the ball off the rim with these rules man is brown, the best American back cause I know Nick Wright.
I saw Nick Wright talking about this.
Is he the best American basketball player out there?
No, probably not.
But he ain’t far off.
He third or fourth.
Right.
He’s not far off.
He’s in the top five, which is a heck of an accomplishment in itself.
