International basketball players are becoming more well known in the NBA league. There is one common star in the NBA who goes by the name of Giannas Antetokounmpo who currently plays for the Milwaukee Bucks. He is one of the top mvp candidates this season. The Bucks have the best record this year and one of the main causes of this situation is Giannas play on the court with his fellow teammates. How could I forget Joel Embiid the best big man in the game right now. It seems like he keeps getting better and better each year. It was mentioned that one-third of the league teams has foreign born players who would classify as its best or at least its most important. As you go back to the year of 1999-2000 there were only two foreign players who averaged more than fifteen points and they were Dirk Nowitzki who is currently still in the nba after all those previous seasons and Tim Duncan who were both national champions at one point. I believe bringing international players to the NBA, will only make the NBA a better franchise and create a better market. Many individuals around the world would tune in more in the NBA. Its around 150 international players in the league right or more and this creates more excitement to the game. My favorite international basketball player of all time is Yao Ming and he was super tall while being athletic so that was his major advantage. International players pursuing their career in the NBA is going to make the game fun and have more competition. Many international players have made an impact in the NBA league. Dirk mentioned that there were six guys with twelve or more rebounds, five of them born outside of the US. Six guys with seven or more assist, while all of them were born outside of the US. And there were four or more guys with three or more blocks, while of them being born outside of the US. I would say that is impressive and from my eyes I see in today games many international basketball players making a huge success in the national basketball league. I hope in the future their happens to be more international basketball players making an appearance to the NBA league.
