Have you ever noticed that the "Heat" don't have any foreign-born players (Canada doesn't count, don't be a wise guy.)? The only two who come to mind historically are Goran Dragic and Sasha Danilovic. But, look at Denver's current roster:
-Nikola Jokic
-fucking Zeke Nnaji
-Facundo Campazzo
Other teams have, or have had, great foreign ballers. Dirk Nowitzki, Yao Ming, Luka Doncic, Kristaps Porzingis, Vlade Divac.
That's not an accident. Riley wants "built American."
