Why do some nba players can't digest the fact that NBA is now ruled by European superstars? I just listened Arenas and Kenyon Martin debating whether Luka is the best player on the Mavs. (alien.top)

I know Espn 100 is wack. But I would rather let them vote for top 100 than these clown experts who think just because they played the game their opinion somehow weighs higher. Most of these former (especially veteran) players just keep on hating the European players and try to minimise their game by saying that the game has gone soft. Its just ridiculous they can't give them their flowers.

Let's not beat around the bush. There is a racial element that exists. Just like the Perkins situation. We don't need to be shy about it. There are a lot of Black American ballers and individuals in general who don't love the fact Europeans, including Giannis, are kinda taking over the league to a degree and in the minds of some, feel are treated with a positive bias that they don't get. Those feelings are very legitimate, and it's exacerbated a bit by the majority of journalists being White and/or non-American. So they feel like there's a bias that's kinda going unspoken.
