Where’s the border between Europe and Asia?

Maybe they would but they also may play as a team whereas USA and Europe may not take it as seriously.

The border between Europe and Asia can be determined by the NBA to make the teams as even as possible. For example, players from Turkey, Russia, Israel, Georgia, etc may play for the World team since Europe they would need better players.

For you NBA fans, who would you pick for these teams?

Mario - had a run where he was the best in the NHL and had a career where he's top 5 of all time

Sid - see above

Jagr - had a run where he was the best player in the NHL and he's had a career where he's arguably a top 10 player of all time

Can any Pittsburgh athletes from 1990 going forward be considered the "best" in their league? Not position, best player..

I think TJ Watt was the best defensive player in the league for about 2 or 3 years. Since only QBs are allowed to win MVP he couldn't win that award but did win a DPOY and probably should have won a couple more. Same thing with Troy.

Eh, JJ puts some bait out there that attracts those types. It's really not much different than the Kenny fanatics. There is the modern fan who focuses more on the players and doesn't seem bothered the team doesn't win playoff games. The older fans couldn't care less whether Pickett fails or succeeds because they're more focused on Tomlin's failures in the games that matter.

I think it's cool he won for his childhood team. He was a super nice dude when I met him at camp and had a lot of great memories of his play at Pitt and some good ones with the Steelers as well. Now Pickett can have a nice career and make millions of dollars whether he gets a chance to start again or as a 10+year backup.

You know who “resets their expectations”? Losers.

Instead of the All-Star game?

USA
Canada
Europe

I like the idea. I'd split Europe up into the Balkans, France, and then the rest of Europe. Play a round robin for seeding and give the top two teams byes. The US would still be heavy favorites because of their depth but this would be very competitive. I think a combined Europe might be favored over the US.

Balkans - Jokic, Doncic, the Bogdonavich's, Zubac, Nurkic, Vucevic, I'm sure I'm missing a couple NBA guys plus high-end European leagues' players and Greece is quasi Balkans so put Giannis in there).

France - Wemby, Batum, Gobert, Sarr, Coulibaly, a few more NBA guys and a few high end Euro Leagues' players

Also why are their so many really good players from the former Yugoslavian countries? The ratio of NBA players to population is crazy high for a collection of countries that are like 99% white compared to white guys from the US. There are like 15M-20M people in the former Yugoslavian countries and there are always a bunch of NBA players from there. Arguably the two best players in the world right now are Jokic (I don't think this one is debatable) and Doncic.

Wow.

PG - Cummings
SG - Leggett
SF - Austin
PF - GDG
C - Corhen

Jorge, Kante, Delalic off the bench. Not great.

Miami has a major advantage at guard with Cleveland and Pack and also a major advantage at Center with Lynn Kidd. Not sure how we win this one. Have to rely on really poor Miami coaching because their players are better.
