Well 4 0f the top .5 players in the nba are not us born players

The next generational player is from france

The top 2 picks in the 2024 draft are from France
Probably 40 percent of the nba first round  are 
Internationally born players

France has a group of players under 21 which are
Most likely better than those in the us

Greater Toronto has as many players in the NBA than any metropolitan area in the US of similar size

The NBA Africa academy is on the verge producing a generation, a very good players

So it’s safe to say that basketball is a world game and that the USA I will never dominate like it had previously

I think it’s an open question as to whether the AAU system has hurt the  development of US basketba

Imho the European system, which focuses on skills and development versus playing 100 games a year is a superior system

I don’t think I see anything changing anytime soon 
The nba it’s perfectly fine with international players being the stars as it fits with their  long range plans to have teams from Europe as part of the league
