2021 USA Basketball @ Tokyo Olympics

[Doctor Doom]

I mean the US literally fielded this team today

Jerami Grant - avg 22ppg

Wolf tickets. 43% on 18 shots a game

Barely grabs 5 boards

No defense

Undersized

Jumper is broken


All on a Top 3 lottery team

He probably like, that team just Biafra, ain't no Yorubas on that team. He's half like me. I think his mom is Black American.

Yorubas in the NBA, Oladipo, Adebayo

Giannis and his bros is Igbo and Yoruba

Iggy is delta State I think.

Aminu and Lawal are Northerners.

Everyone else is generally Delta state or Igbo aka Biafrans

Oladipo dad is Yoruba but from Sierra Leone. His mom is Igbo.
O.G. is also Igbo
I said Okoye was Yoruba, wrong, he's Igbo but Michael Gbinije is likely Urhobo or could be Ijaw Nigerian. I don't know which tribe for fact. So over 90% of the squad is Igbo with Mike who played at Cuse being the only non SE but SS player which is still Biafra, entire squad could play for Biafra. 2012 - 4 Igbos, 5 Housas, 6 Yorubas - 2 NBA players. 2016 - 0 NBA players - 7 Igbos - 1 Housas 2 Yorubas 1 Urhobo 2021 - 14 Igbos, 1 Urhobo, all Biafrans. 8 NBA players. If Bane makes the roster, he's Ibibio which is still related to Igbos and are Biafrans.

Everyone Nigerian player drafted in 2020 NBA draft are Biafrans. Yorubas had a great start with Hakeem but they aren't producing the same talent anymore. Housas had some talent too with the Aminus but with so many of them not being in sports, it's a no-brainer why their stock has dropped.

The really next gen guys didn’t want to do it or are hurt. Ingram, Fox, Zion, Mitchell, Brown, Towns, etc.

That's kinda the point though. Dudes like Kyrie, Klay, PG, Boogie, Wall use to be Select team players before they got bumped up to the main squad. Now it's a bunch of current and future role players.

We about to end up right back in the spot we were after 04 where they gonna start locking players into multi-year commitments again.

Bradley beal was second in the nba in scoring this year

There's not even 5 people in the world who can score like bradley beal can't


You lost to a team that not one of their players even played more than 21mpg in the nba this year

Box score watching and shyt level posting 101

Bradley Beal isnt even a top 10-15 player in the league. His scoring means nothing. Dude is on the money when he says at best Bradley Beal is 4th or 5th best American at his position.

i wonder what's goin through there head right now

@mastermind, which Yoruba hooper got next? I know Kevin Obanor can hoop and was getting some 2nd round buzz before he opted out and wanted to transfer.

I tried to warn y’all about Africa/nigeria two years ago.

Stop playing dumb, nikka. You know exactly what I mean.

Beal is like the 4th or 5th best American at his position and he’s starting and closing out games. 2019 team had Kemba as the go-to-guy down the stretch and he wasn’t top 5 at his position in the country.

If Team USA had everyone from their talent pool available, how many players on this roster would make the team?

I wasn’t even talking about this game specifically in that post, nor was I saying that they don’t have enough talent to win the Olympics this year with the roster they have. The discussion was about the talent gap between the US and other countries and what the long term outlook could be. So again, were you reading to comprehend or just looking to argue?

Not disagreeing with your overall point but how many SGs are better than Beal? I'm only taking Harden over him.

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

Yeah Bam is a clown he should’ve played with the home team

 

[Osmosis]

The Servant was out there missing shots too? Why we not slandering?

Because KD needs more help

That’s fair, I think I might have gone a little too far with 4th or 5th. I’d take Butler as well, and after that it’s arguable

Harden is a pg

Why? He tryna win a gold medal. He's American anyway. Everyone on the Nigerian team would be on the US if they could. Most of them were at some point if they were good enough.
