2021 USA Basketball @ Tokyo Olympics

Dame can't create for others like that and Dame was a turnstile out there today. Trae could do that but he will create for others and his dominance isn't how he shooting depending like Dame.

Dame was definitely better on defense this year than Trae was, especially during the second half of the season. If he got worked today then Trae is only getting worked even easier. But it's a moot point either way cause there was no fukking way they were gonna pick Trae over Dame.

Like I said, you ain't gonna pick two ball-dominant no-defense PGs in both Trae and Dame out there, so if Dame is your first pick then take Lowry to balance him out. I don't mind having Jrue there for his defense but picking 5 big scorers at the wings without a single pass-first guy at the point is where they fukked up.

That's my GOAT Aboriginal baller.

I can still remember when he came out of nowhere and just rolled up my Ducks way back in the day, they were an Elite Eight team that year and St. Mary's was just some mid-major but they had no answer for him.

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.

You sure the Aminus are Hausa? Alade is a Yoruba name and I think they are from Ibadan which is Yoruba. Might be a mix though. Apart from that you are right. Most of the team is Igbo Nigerian Americans which makes it even funnier, such a small pool to pick from. For some reason Yorubas prefer to go to the UK and Igbos America. Imagine if we actually took basketball seriously?

Looking forward to do some damage in the Olympics proper.

Breh NBA all stars can’t beat some scrubs from Nigeria ?

that Nigerian team has 13 NBA/former NBA players. They’re not scrubs at all. Granted we should have won anyway but it’s an exhibition game. I doubt Team USA was even taking them seriously. I think this loss was good for them tho because now they’ll play with some urgency.

 

[MJ Truth]

Don’t know why the tweet reads like this, it’s not the same team.

This is like saying blowing out the Suns in 2012 is equal to losing to the Suns in 2021.

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

If the US think they gonna waltz through the tournament, I don't know about that. Everyone can really play. I am watching this Argentina-Australia match and man, these teams are good.

The world caught up

4 steals and 3 blocks in 24 minutes. They weren't ready for his closing speed.





Edit: Sounds like someone yells, "fukk yer shot!" afterwards.

This is who Pat Bev wishes he was

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

This team is missing a CP3 type of player dead ass.

Grant needs to ask Bron, Cp3 and Steph if they’re sure they can’t go…

They missing Steph it’s that simple

Biafrans got those elite genetics.
I could have been a pro athlete had I focused on athletics instead of the books.

Igbo Amaka…
