The best player in the NBA has been American forever. But since Giannis took over, the best player has not been American. The up and coming players with the potential to take the throne (Luka, Wemby) aren’t American either.
Why do you think this is the case? Who will be the next American player to become the best player in the NBA?
Because tribalism is genetically instilled in us and thereby nationalism and xenophobia are commonplace.
