Is NBA Tired Of Europeans Dominating?

Is NBA Tired Of Europeans Dominating?

Leading the NBA in triple doubles check first in rebounds that’s also true six in assist while being a center yep MVP candidate by an official NBA website absolutely am I talking about nicoa yic no it’s dant as sabonis and despite all of these insane statistical facts he is

Somehow not in the All-Star Game this year we all know it is often nothing more than a popularity contest but when the NBA coaches did not pick him as a reserve many people were shocked you got to sabonis averaging 19.9 points so we just going to give him 20 13 rebounds

And eight assists and the kings are in fifth place now that’s interesting is he the biggest Allstar snub ever or is NBA tired of Europeans dominating the league okay okay let’s not look for conspiracy theories but here’s why I believe the Sacramento big guy not being there is scandalous to say the

Least oh look at that look away goas mag could you guess the last time the NBA triple double leader was not in the All-Star Game it was when Lance Stevenson led the league with only five of those 10 years ago but that was quite understandable BN ready was averaging

Only 147 and five this year NBA coaches decided Steph Curry Anthony Edwards Carl Anthony towns Paul George kawh Leonard dein Booker and Anthony Davis deserve the spot on the bench more than domantas sabonis every manager had to pick three front Court players to back record guys and two wild cards meaning those last

Two guys could have been anyone not looking at their position and somehow doas sabonis did not make the cut the stats are telling that the guy is doing basically everything he’s averaging an astonishing 20 points 13 rebounds and eight assists on top of that Sacramento we fifth in the west when voting results

Were announced as they were in the top five for the majority of the regular season you want more stats one of the NBA’s front office’s most used Advanced Analytical stat LeBron which accumulates for the players overall impact on the court says sabonis should have been a starter in the All-Star game so a

Starter by one of the most refined metrics and not even on the bench by fans media and coaches how the Kings ended up having zero All Stars while some of the lower seeds have one or two for example the ell Lakers for a league that thrives on analytics and different

Statistical perspectives and Records that’s suspicious and while everybody including myself understand that LeBron James will be in the All-Star game until he retires few raised an eyebrow for the selection of Anthony Davis simply because the Lakers are hanging around the play in zone for the whole regular

Season but this is not a selection I’m most mad about Los Angeles are a top two Market in the NBA Anthony Davis is playing a wonderful season while being the most important guy on that team and he shouldn’t get punished because LeBron was already in as a starter however I do

Want to point out that sabonis is 8 and zero all time versus Anthony Davis in regular season matchups the main point of discussion here should be how Carl Anthony towns or Paul George make it over domantas sabonis only because their teams had a few more wins at the time of

The selection do four wins outweigh such a huge statistical difference PG is averaging 2 and a half points more than Damas but has eight rebounds less while his passes create only nine points per game saon is actually fifth in the entire league in points created per game with

21.7 that’s almost 13 Points Plus against Paul George Carl Anthony towns creates only 7.2 points for others the main thing here is that I don’t think people actually realize how much easier the game is when you have centers like dlas they act as offensive hubs and operate around the three-point line or

The elbows there is a reason why Sacramento last season had the fifth best offensive rating in the entire history of the NBA those handoffs with sabonis at the top have become a blueprint for almost every NBA team how to run their offense everybody would love to do so but in order to execute

That efficiently the big guy must be a great passer that sabonis is look at how much space there is for cuts to the basket when the big guy is at the top guards get free points every night just because of moving without the basketball such spacing and modern offensive

Philosophy are the main reasons we see offensive growth like never before instead of the ball handler struggling to prepare the pick and roll and gain Advantage Damas and his handoffs allow the guards to receive the ball in Rhythm and with some separation already for Shooters like Kevin Herer this means

Simple catch and shoot attempts while for dearon Fox or others it allows to go downhill and make decisions in the paint often sabonis himself is the beneficiary later rolling quickly to the rim and and finishing there that’s Gonzaga on Gonzaga crime enjoying this video so far please subscribe to our channel for a

Chance to win an original yanis jersey we are giving it out to one lucky person once we hit 150k Subs so don’t miss out and subscribe now Sacramento have three basic ways of how they include sabonis we have already witnessed the first one the second is elbow action with off ball

Screens some of these find the receiver in the slightest of spaces leaving his job simple just laying it in into the basket while Carl Anthony towns and Paul George are of course way more talented scorers sabonis creates an even bigger amount of total points with his passing

Of course he can score as well apart from being a solid roller to the rim and picking rolles they often look for him in the post Sacramento spacing allows him to go to work where he mostly uses his body and shot fakes Defenders have to do their job one-on-one if others

Help that’s a wide open attempt for Dam’s teammates since Sacramento spacing and Damas vision is a deadly combo oh and that fifth best offense in NBA history the ability of sabonis orchestrating a fast break was a huge part of it too averaging 13 rebounds per game sabonis often have a chance of

Igniting the action dribbling all the way to the other side you can be sure he will find the runners with him or shooters that wait in the corners that’s the modern-day basketball for you and trust me every coach in the NBA would love to have a big guy like sabonis yic

Or shenon sabonis that’s your six assist right that’s your Center passing Vision basketball IQ is what makes sabonis unique it’s what separates Damas from 95% of other bigs in the league so I go back to the question again how sabon is finished lower in the coaches voting

Than cat or PG the ironic part is that dantas actually finished higher than Carl Anthony towns in the initial voting by media players and fans Paul George was higher and I can get that he’s been a household name in the NBA for much longer he plays in LA and markets play

An immense part in Allstar votings representing a small market like Sacramento does not help that’s for sure but to show such a disrespect to a player who even the official NBA MVP ladder has as an MVP candidate how was that possible yes the selection theoretically should be based solely on

This season but psychologically I wonder if big names like cat or poor George did not impact the coaches just a little bit keeping in mind that sabonis hasn’t had much playoff success as co-leader of the Sacramento team that might have been the deciding factor is it fair I don’t think

So although we probably shouldn’t be looking for fairness in the All-Star selections there was another interesting explanation of why NBA triple double leader did not make it Reddit commentators and even Draymond Green himself thought that maybe dearon Fox and sabon split some votes dear Fox and damont sabonis probably pulled votes

From each other because they probably would both be wild cards this might be the case but hey Kawaii plus Paul George and Anthony Edwards plus Carl Anthony towns somehow made it from the same team another thought on Twitter was that sabonis lacks Charisma in order to make

The All-Star game I’m sorry what are we looking for here if the guy’s actions speak louder than anything else he even has better averages than last year when he was voted in by the coaches I guess sabonis will have to do something big with Sacramento in the playoffs for

People to recognize his greatness once again until that all these triple doubles and amazing plays won’t be enough do you agree that sabonis should have been an All-Star and is he the most disrespected player in the NBA right now I want to hear your opinions in the comment section down below don’t forget
