31pt triple double for luka. Slovenia is in now. Won tourney MVP


It's crazy that the Czech Republic and Slovenia are gonna be in the Olympics but not Serbia or Lithuania.

Russia lost to Mexico, how far they have fallen.

China must be irate that they lost the auto Asia bid to Iran.

Especially Randle since he was a legit all star and all nba this season

France, australia, spain are the only teams that might only lose by less than 20 to USA

It's crazy that Serbia might have been better than any of them and yet they won't even be there.


They lost the qualifying game to Italy. Andjusic had 27 (7-12 from three), Petrusev had 22 and Dobric had 17.

That was with Jokic, Bogdanovic, Pokusevski and Smailagic all not playing. Plus they have Teodesic, Bjelica and Marjanovic too.

Would have been easily the most talented non-USA team if they had had the full squad.

If it was a black country full of players, we'd still be talking about it

I’ve watched this video and read your tweet, and I still do not understand what you are saying.

Slovenia made the olympics, and other nations take international competition more serious than American basketball fans do. Slovenia is a tiny ass country. Making it to the olympics is a dream.

They didn't make Olympics before, do you ppl lack reading comprehension?

I can read very fine. Your post and tweet were not written well.

Are you saying that a black nation that broke up would be getting a lot of critique? Flak? Disdain?

Why would I talk about a team (Jamaica) that didn't make the Olympics?




Yes, if a black country was a basketball powerhouse and they broke up, it would be Met with disdain

Your point was that Slovenia didn't qualify before because they lost to other former Yugoslavian countries. I just learned what happened in 2016 and 2012 thanks to Google. Turns out they were eliminated by Latvia in 2016 and by Spain in 2012.

you make no sense and you should probably delete your stupid Tweet

I went by what nick wright said (remember you watched the video) go send a tweet to Nick wright and tell HIM he was wrong so that you can go on with your day

A whole bunch of ppl on keyboards coming at me is going turn my day into anything.

The TL full of nonsense, one more tweet ain't gonna hurt. There are levels to elimination, Latvia and Spain delivered the knockout punch but there were punches thrown before that
