West Indies Basketball Team

If there was a West Indies basketball team they'd probably be top 5 in the world - just saying....

Buddy Hield (Philly) - Bahamas
Deandre Ayton (Blazers) - Bahamas
Chris Duarte (Sac) - Dominican Republic
Al Horford (Celtics) - Dominican Republic
Nick Richards (Charlotte) - Jamaica
Kai Jones (Charlotte) - Bahamas
Jose Alvarado (Pelicans) - Puerto Rico
Kemba Walker (AS Monaco) - Antigua/St Croix
Nic Claxton (Nets) - Virgin Islands
Skal Labissière (G-League) - Haiti

Also 90% of the Canadian team is from Carribean background.

Slow day...

Top 5 if Europe didn't exist for sure!

Would like to see Caribbean team play so at least they would be more competitive. Sad how Jamaica can't get a decent team when they got the players.

There hasn’t been a FIBA Caribbean tournament since 2016 if I’m right? Its so disorganised or there’s no money.

Pretty sure Bahamas and DR are still a chance to qualify for the Paris Olympics through the qualifying tournaments.

Caribbean team not W.I.

This distinction doesn't seem to be understood.

Thread topic should be updated.
