HalfMan-HalfMothBtoNBA•It seems all the NBA has to do is refer to the post-season as the “World Playoffs” in order to dub the winner “World Champions”English

2 months agoThe nba is a national competition, the winner of that can’t be the world champion. Best team in the world probably, that’s a subjective statement but realistically the best team in the world is the nba champion. World champion implies victory in a competition of teams from around the world. Of course the nba champ would very likely win that hypothetical tournament anyway but until that exists, world champion is a tag they haven’t earned imo
Every other sport notes a difference between olympic and world champion why would basketball be different. The olympic winner is the olympic champion, world cup winner is world champion
Yeah I dont mean that the olympic title should be viewed as lesser, if basketball as a sport places more prestige on the olympic title than a world title thats fine, a lot of sports at the olympics do that
