All of these french players were born in France and have one french white parent. They're all mixed. They are real french !! Stop hating and saying that they're africans.
Yup
And for 2025, a French kid is already #2 in predicted draft, behind Cooper Flagg.
Nolan Traore, remember the name he's special
Africa has close ties to France so basically they are outsourcing best of Africa.
@@natashakuzmanoska9656 Just like the US basically
@@kojirosasaki8412Wrong, US national team players were born in the US, excluding Embid, who was born in Cameroon
Cooper could be a new, talented Durant
For context, Lithuania is one of maybe 2 European countries where Soccer isn't the number 1 sport 🏀 ...also, I've maybe met like 10 Lithuanians in my life, and they're all GIANTS
En Lituanie, le basketball, est une religion... Comment peut-on dire, je ne savais pas que les Lituaniens jouait au basketball? Is it american joke? 😅
Tu as tellement raison ! @@eriksolgady5918
Yeah, I remembered Lithuania playing against the first Dream Team in the 90s. I think they took the silver in those Olympics.
@@eriksolgady5918 they will remember now that they got their ass kicked
@@ivantatischeff6378 As European who knows better please don't underestimate them. The gravity in Lithuania is lower that's why they are taller and good ballers. Good luck 🤞🏾
NBA: National Baguette Association 🥖 🇫🇷
NFA: Nation Fa... nevermind.
Well to be fair, the oldest surviving basket ball court is not in the USA , it's in Paris (1893) That's how early we started to hoop in France !
Good one.
And there will likely be another French prospect in the top 5 next year with Nolan TRAORE.
What people start to understand is that those players plays pro at 15-16 with grown men and experience guys in euro league and French league. European basketball is much more tactical so when young players grows physically they have it all at 18-19
The French had a class back in the late 2000s that had moderate success. Batum, Ajinca and Moerman all won the 06' U18 European championships together
We also won a Euro in the 2010s
You’re forgetting Tony Parker, Joakim Noah and many others… French in NBA not new….. but I get where you’re going w this
Lithuania players in the NBA currently Matas Buzelis just drafted No. 11 overall in the 1st round. JV Jonas Valančiūnas who played for Toronto Raptors/ Memphis Grizzlies and Pelicans then Domantas Sabonis played for Indiana Pacers now plays for Sacramento Kings. And he didn't know that Lithuania plays basketball.. Stop with the disrespect.. We won the Gold Medals back in the 2003 with our basketball national team...
Je pense que c'est juste de la bêtise... En Lituanie le basketball est une religion...
For me Sabonis ain't Lithuanian tho, he was born in the US and grew up in the US, even though he plays for the lithuanian selection
Just wait til Nolan traore is here next draft 😂😂
Nolan Traore is coming next year, a great point guard with head on his shoulder, started playing pro this year and scored 45 in european youth tournament.
Developpement has been set as they do in Soccer/football, it comes mainly to one thing,kids dont have to pay to play,the reach is hence enormous.
Always said this about the difference between European sports and American. Everything is pushed through college systems and is super political and tough to get through. Europeans make it to pro levels off skill alone. We have seen the best players in soccer history on the field but I'd bet money the best Basketball player to ever have lived never made it to the pros due to school politics.
gold medal in hanball tokyo olimpics and volleyball
Lithuania won the first of their 3 straight Olympic bronze medals in 1992. All eyes were on the dream team but I still remember seeing Lithuania in the tie-dye Grateful Dead shirts getting their medal which was pretty cool.
lmao Lithuania's national sport is basketball
France always has one of the best teams in FIBA this is nothing new
As a frenchy this is delightful 🎉
French taking the same approach to basketball that they do to soccer
Lmaooo really tho
Which approach is that, winning a lot?
@@Myles-em3re Let's just say they don't bet on red.
@@bradenhazle4378ohhhh gotcha they bet on the most talented players, that makes sense it’s a great strategy
@@Myles-em3re France has won 1 World Cup in the last 25 years.
Pretty disrespectful to all those other guys who worked their ass off their whole life to get to that level to just give the credit to wembanyama so you can use his name for clicks...
Especially when Parker is a future all of famer too
@@LesGrosPiedsDeDeejayil y est déjà !
@@LesGrosPiedsDeDeejay already 1st ballot actually
I mean sabonis is Lithuanian and there is no shot he didn't heard who he is
La Lithuanie est un grand pays de basket. Tous ceux qui ont votre âge le savent quand ils suivent un peu le basket international : Sabonis père et fils, Marciulionis, Jasikevisius pour ceux que j'ai connus à la télévision (il y a une culture du basket en Lithuanie et il y avait des grands joueurs dans l'ex-URSS). C'est bien triste de ne rien connaître du basket hors des États-Unis : on finit par dire que les autres n'existent pas...
Mentalité américaine typique
Mais j'ai l'impression que les jeunes générations sont de plus en plus ouvertes, y'a de l'espoir
President macaroni's plan over there is really coming together
“Michael Jordan of France”, Mickaël Piétrus is to blame!
wait till he hears they play against Jokic and Serbia first game at ol
If he makes a good season, Nolan Traore could be first pick next year too, also coming from France !!
Kobe was so correct when he said the AAU is ruining basketball for America. NOW YOU SEE IT HAPPENING !!!
FACTS!
Chicago drafted a local kid who is Lithuanian.
Bonjour depuis la France, Baguette Powar, bisou
Nolan Traore draft 2025… French is coming 😅
Funny how a black french is not french to some but a black american is 100% american
I believe that’s called racism good sir
@@720pLyricsit’s racism with stupidity seasoning
Pour tous les racistes qui ont ecrit dans ces commentaires : beaucoup de joueurs de basket des États-Unis ont la peau noire. Non ? Votre propos est raciste. D'ailleurs les joueurs FRANÇAIS qui ont été choisis à la draft sont nés et ont grandi en France avec au moins un de leurs parents nés en France â ma connaissance. On peut avoir la peau qui n'est pas blanche et etre Français. La France montre sa richesse et son coeur. Prenez en de la graine, racistes de tous les pays et de toutes les couleurs.
Et même sans ça d'ailleurs. Tu regardes Tony Parker, mère néerlandaise, père américain, né en Belgique... et c'est le mec qui semblait le plus motivé et le plus fier de porter le maillot bleu tous les étés, alors qu'il était déjà une superstar en NBA.
Donc on va effectivement laisser les définitions de ce que devrait être un bon citoyen français aux racistes, parce que moi j'en ai pas une définition claire et c'est très bien comme ça.
Paix et amour les gens 😁
Les US sont le résultat d'une colonie qui n'a jamais rendu sa terre aux locaux. Un génocide trop souvent mis de côté. Et ce sont les premiers qui se permettent de donner des leçons sur le racisme et le colonialisme. L'hypocrisie est sans limite
Since Dream Team in Barcelona, basketball popularity blew up and couple of decades after you are seeing the results .
Lithuania has less than 3 million people. If they were the size of France, with 65 million+, theyd be favourites in every Olympics.
why do you compare to France?
the favorite is the United States, which has 100 times more inhabitants than Lithuania.
indeed if the number of inhabitants were reversed between these 2 countries, Lithuania would often be the favorite.
do not omit the other area historically in love with basketball, it is the countries of the former Yugoslavia.
France is an emerging power to take this into account today and for the future 🏀
in Lithuania it is the number 1 sport
but as this country is sparsely populated, it is difficult to be competitive over time...
Jo 2021 : French team in finale : basket, handball (title, men and women), volley (title).
Wcup soccer : runner up
Make your own conclusion
Still no rugby world cup winner 😉haha sorry had to bring that in. But tbf Dupont, Ntamack, Ramos and Penaud are going to be superstars, and they should be winning a Rugby World Cup in the future.
He don't know Lithuania is a Basketball Nation? The US guys are so arrogant
NBA scouts just have a hard on for international guys. All these guys they drafted are averaging like 6 points a game in the french league. Sarr is shooting 0-12 in summer league. College guys will make a comeback with NIL keeping guys in college to develop
Nah, the American youth development is at fault, gotta teach basketball as a team
the NBA system is less competitive than FIBA system, outside the US especially in europe, we are more physical
I think the whole AAU system is dogshiiit, 14 yo playing 3games à day all summer posting each dunk or 3pts on the Gram....
Just focus on the fondamentals until 17, you can flex after if you're good enough.
Allez les bleus 🇨🇵
They just tryna find another gem like wemby . But we’ll see
shoutout to FIBA World Cup everyone DAWGS
allez les blues!
The title is how RL players feel
RL as in what? Rocket League?
Real Madrid, more french starters on this spanish team than spanish starters.
@@Yoshi-qp1mg Ahh i gotchu
@@getawayred😂
why is shams talking like anyone but the lakers would draft him? Like bro we get it klutch has you on payroll but just be honest lol
just a reminder that the USA beat france at the last Olympics for gold by less than 10 points.
5 points in the final game...
US won gold like 18 out of the 20 Olympic Games
@Johnbones23 what about to these 2 olympics ? Did you lose to a bunch of white Argentinians with long hair ?
They beat Spain by 10 in the two finals too, only Serbia had an elastic score
@@ivantatischeff6378The defeats were from Eastern European basketball, which was very strong, and against Argentina, which had Manu gnóbil, Spurs legend, only the defeat against Argentina was more painful due to the context, the one against Eastern Europe, it didn't hurt as much
The 2025 draft number will be Cooper Flagg the unicorn, don't worry
Who won 4 defensive player of the year and is the #1 in ‘24? Rudy Gobert…
Wembanyama + Gobert are going to challenge LeBron & Co at the Olympics
France has taken Spain's place as the dominant force in European men's basketball, France is good but reminds me of the Eastern European teams of the last decade, long time without a decent point guard, Evan Fournier is not that guy
Wee wee tu booku 😂
So where are the French people 💀
Mostly in France, but France with 12 time zones is the most scattered country in the world...
So i would say French are all over the world...
We are about everywhere in the world, dude.
more the game of basketball is becoming global , less there will be americans in the NBA, as a french i love to see our players being so good , with victor its the first season i watched.
People starting to realise there's actually talent in europe. Always has been but every sporting league in america needs to push the narrative that they are the best athletes on the planet.
Nba needs views international players bring international views
Pour les racistes : la France c'est aussi les Antilles, la Réunion, Mayotte, la Polynésie etc... il y a des gens de toutes les couleurs de peau, bandes de nazes 😂. En plus, ce n'est pas ce qui a manqué en NBA avec des joueurs dont les parents sont originaires des Antilles ou de Guyane et qui sont nés parfois en Métropole : Mickaël Pietrus, Gelabale, Rudy Gobert, Seraphin, Turiaf, Petro, Beaubois, Tariq Abdul Wahad ! Vive la France 😊
Merci ! Louder for the people at the back !
the nba is 100p a Euro league now
Anthony Edwards is the only American born player with even a CHANCE at an MVP in the next 5-8 years
Baseball a while back, football is holding strong, I don’t know about boxing much but them too over a decade or two. Nothing is static. Look at all those college quarterbacks who might have played basketball in a different era.🤔
You Americans, I don't understand your way of thinking, you say that they don't look very French. I must remind you that in your national team there are only black people. I am black and French and there is a very, very large African community in France. I don't know, maybe you're the only one who has the right to have black people in your team
Some of us Americans are just as baffled by the racism as you are, it’s very frustrating how common it is
There should only be a French community in France. What, the entire continent of Africa wasn’t big enough for you?
@@kevinjohnston4923 An American being racist what a surprise, it makes sense your country is turning into a ruin with that type of mentality.
Are you French ? If that's the case you're saying stuff that goes against the constitution
@@kevinjohnston4923 Okay, go tell that to the French who come to Africa and create their own French school so that their child does not mix with the population
Wemby’s league soon
Everything what Kobe said is become true now, NBA and AAU ruined them
Will see, still will take my White Boys from Indiana or Brothas from the Bronx. 😂
Wait till he learns France beat the US in the Tokyo Olympics 2020 Group Stage WITHOUT Wemby and lost in the Final by 5pts. Bro the world is coming at y'all if you didn't know and France is definetely a force that everyone will have to reckon with going forwards.
im French we're coming for sure but not yet when you see US roster ... I don't even a word... maybe for 2028
@@alostdecade6057I'm French too, I think your point of view is the problem. Too often we dont think we can win it all and we settled for 2nd or 3rd. When in reality our chemistry and our personnel allows us to compete win ANYBODY. Remember Argentina beat Teams USA at the Olympics. This is not the playoffs, everything can happen in 1 game. Our guys trully believe they can beat the this Team USA
It was a worse time in the USA too, there was no Lebron, no Curry, no Embid, no Kawhi, there was only Durant and a few other kids, which also didn't take away the merit of France, who had a tough game against Slovenia, won by 1
@@ivantatischeff6378 possible but in paper it’s not Even close
@alostdecade6057 sports are not paper bro
No wonder why experts were claiming this would be the weakest draft in years !
Yer because Americans need to push and cling to the narrative they are the best athletes in the world.
@@bilbo_gamez6195 comparing country to country, we are easily at the top of the list. Its not even a question
@@him1019 comparing population numbers to population you are not. You also have many sports that only compete nationally not internationally so there is no baseline ✌️
@@bilbo_gamez6195 look at the olympic results. USA has most golds and most total medals

Man youtube really went full racist . Sad
FBA lol
Only good player is Wemby.....
I guess we'll see next year now won't we ?
The funniest thing about it all was that the French player, a Cameroonian, preferred the USA to France.
Then the French will be in the winning team one way or another
@@OmegaEli002 French hater
Blame Usa players ; aau players are more about branding and social media than the game

@@Myles-em3re #1 pick Zaccharie Risacher was actually born in Spain.
NBA is trash now. The best era in NBA history was 1984-2014 commissioner David Stern reign. So many great player’s rivalries games etc.
Facts
And the Sonics were still a thing! 😅
Denver Nuggets scored 126,5 points in 1982 scoring NBA team regular season average record! And NBA was only number 3rd most popular sport in USA! NFL football and MLB baseball were much More popular than NBA in 1980s! World Series baseball had two times bigger tv ratings than NBA Finals in 1980s! Basketball was popular in Yugoslavia Israel Greece Spain Lithuania already 1970s! Dream Team did not made basketball popular world wide!
Don’t get outta control the No. 1 pick averaged 10 ppg in the Euro league don’t get it twisted if dudes could jump from high school the first couple of picks would’ve been Americans you ever heard of a guy by the name of Cooper Flagg
Don’t look very French to me
USA TEAM DONT LOOK VERY AMERICAN TO ME
@onesshot5818 America was always a multi-ethnic nationality. France only recently became more ethnically diverse. Many of its citizens that aren't white are only a few, sometimes one generation removed from their family's place of descent. France today and France 2 hundreds years back are two nearly entirely different ethnic groups.
@@svenskhund3603 France has been multi ethnic since the early 1800 because of the colonisation of Africa and Asia. Alot of them being sent to France from those colony to work in France. You always had black people or Arabic in national French teams since 1930's.
That's the only reason they're interested in basketball, no one in western Europe gives a sh1t about basketball.
@@svenskhund3603overseas France isn't some recent invention, it's older than the USA fym
Hey pat you should check out go my favorite sports team the host markiplier and Tyler were talking about ur show today on the podcast
The French or Africa? Go home! Europe for Europeans
Ok nazi
Trolling is naughty. Go back to your cave.
Well France is basically africa now. Hate to say it but 🤷♂️
The smelliest players in the league baby 😈
Imagine telling him you American Prima Donnas arent good at basketball anymore. Jokic, Luka, Embid and Atetonokoupos.......are the top 4 players in leaugue again this year. Last international basketball game you american mouthbreathers lost to canada......we had 1 NBA player on the team 😂. Or imagine his face.....when he learns a canadian invented basketball !!!!!
