An interesting watch, this was made about a bunch of people who knew nothing about basketball (including the reporter and interviewer). Misguiding the British public to think Deng is the best player ever is a great tactic to fool people into thinking we have a chance, when the fact is we had to appeal to be let into the Olympics as we are a host country. We wouldn't even be in it normally. It's a decent watch though, interesting how some average media folk over here see the NBA. Interesting they say " there is no question he is a great great player" HAHA good one...

They really do hype him up, and to give the reporter credit, he is a good player but certainly not on the level they are putting him. Had no idea he grew up in London either.
