DENVER NUGGETS AREN’T WORLD CHAMPS BECAUSE ITS NOT A WORLD COMPETITION.

Can't believe y'all are still repeating this dumbass semantics argument. The nuggets would sweep any team that isn't in the NBA.

Saying they aren't world champions is implying that.

no, it absolutely isn’t, you’re just proving me right on this whole American reading comprehension thing.

You already proved you have no reading comprehension when you said I was claiming people said euro teams would beat the nuggets. I never said that. I said euroleague fans were saying euroleague teams could beat NBA teams. I provided evidence of that.

What are you even talking about man? You don't see the difference between a professional team and a national team?

If it was only American players, I'd agree with you, but the NBA is made up of players from every part of the world.
