Alright so really where is my logic wrong here? USA won the gold in basketball at the Olympics. Sure I understand the point that "Team USA" won the gold and defeated "Team Spain" but really you gotta look a little deeper than just "nope it means USA is world champs." That's an illogical way to look at it bro. It's the Olympics, not an every year league.
Look at it like this guy. The best American players beat the best Spanish players. This would lead the average layman to believe that the NBA is better than the Spanish Basketball League team. Wait, is my logic wrong here? Okay just checking. So that would then again lead the average layman to believe that the best NBA team who wins the championship to be better than the best Spanish Basketball League team who wins their respective championship. Are you still with me here? Am I wrong yet? Logic and shit, that's all I'm doing here is talking logic.
So if the best NBA team from this logic is better than the best Spanish Basketball League team than how would the NBA championship team not be the World Champs? It's like A=B=C, transitive property and shit, straight geometry lesson dog. Like sure you're right I cannot fucking assume they'd win and be world champs but how close to do you want the logic to get without them actually playing a fucking game?
NFL part is laughable because no other country can play American Football on our level. Wouldn't even be fucking close if we played France or some other country in American Football.
PS - I don't count MLB with World Baseball Classic because we don't care about that shit for some reason. We don't even put our best players in the WBC. No Verlander? No Trout? No Strasburg? No Weaver? No Ian Kinsler? I could go on but bottom line is I don't count that shit.
PPS - Classic comment capture. Heat won the championship last year. LeBron, Bosh, Wade, Chalmers, Howard, Battier, Miller, Haslem, Cole, Anthony. Which one of those championship players is foreign? Zero. Plus American basketball players play in foreign countries. You know which ones do that? The bad ones who can't play in the NBA.
PPPS - Classic more comments. Yeah their best come play here because there is no competition in foreign leagues and they can make bank here bro. Name a foreign player better than Melo, LeBron, Wade, CP3, Griffen, Durant, Duncan, Harden, Westbrook, Irving, D Williams, Wall, Jefferson, Howard, Pierce, Garnett..really maybe Dirk or Tony Parker. Kobe doesn't count I don't care that he was born in France because his dad played there because of exactly my point before, he wasn't good enough for the NBA so he played in a foreign country plus Kobe is an American citizen. Seriously lets just fucking make the Heat play the SBL's champion I know where I'm putting my money. Fucking Merica.
Yes, Tommy your logic is wrong. Look at the English Premier League. This years champions, Manchester United. Here is their roster..http://msn.foxsports.com/foxsoccer/premierleague/teams/manchester-united/roster/568 . As you can see players from all different countries around the world. So they win the English Premier League, they didn't win the World Cup, therefore they are not "world champs". Spain won the last World Cup, thus making them "World Champs". See the difference? Your argument shifts from what constitutes as "world champs" to "American players and leagues are better". And since you're so hard for the NBA, I'll show it to you like this. Heat win the NBA Championship - making them the NBA champions. For them to be dubbed "world champs" they would have to play and beat the champions of other basketball leagues around the world in some sort of tournament. (Not saying they would not win, just saying that it what would make them "world champs"). So yes Tommy, your logic is wrong. But thanks for playing..It's been fun.
