2376203, why do you think the European/South American dudes are better?

like, I agree that they're better, but why is that? white kids are still all over college basketball, but most of the best of them are from Australia or Alaska (sure it's a state but you know what I mean) or somewhere in eastern Europe. And so few of the American-born players ever get drafted let alone make the leap to a rotation player. One of the most frequent explanations I hear is that white kids just don't have the incentive to play basketball all day and night long to avoid the struggles surrounding their lives and white kids are mostly not living in urban centers where a court of some kind if always nearby but there are plenty of super broke, super sad white kids too.
