Can we get Giannis on some bullshyt citizen rule? It ain't like Greece gonna qualify again without hosting and don't seem like he wanna play for Nigeria.

Greece will qualify if he actually plays in the qualifying events. If Giannis wants Greece in the olympics, they'll be in the olympics. And they adding his youngest brother who is allegedly the 2nd best Antetokounmpo.

USA don't win shyt w/o Jrue makin the trip. What a year for him. i'm left unimpressed by that squad. Gold is gold but a lot of the good Euro teams weren't there.. The world is starting to catch up.

Why weren't they there? How are they catching up?

To be fair to Dame, he has had issues with his ribs/sternum for a while now, and while the timing is certainly convenient (as you pointed out, this isn't the first time his supposed injuries have been brought up when he shyts the bed), I do wonder if this was something that was kept in-house during their campaign, as we all saw how he didn't play well throughout the entirety of the Olympics.

Which begs the question: why the hell did Pop play him all those minutes?

Every single rotation where he was relieved, almost always ended up with him coming back as the main guard. He finished with the third-most minutes on the squad, which is ridiculous if this is indeed true and he was hampered by injury. It seemed like Pop was just unnecessarily playing him hoping he'd get out of his funk and he never did. It was a risk that didn't need to be taken, given that he doesn't provide any playmaking and defense, and his scoring/shooting could've been easily replaced by nearly every other guard/wing in the squad.
