What a game, what a team performance. Even when the US got back in it and it looked like it was going to be a blowout Sudan kept at it.

That jones guy is better than a lot of nba backups. Still don't see how wenyon gabriel is not in the nba with the defense he plays. Deng doing a wonderful masterful job big up south sudan.

Luol Deng has seemed like a good guy for a long time, and was an underrated player too. Really nice two-way swing until Thibodeau ran him into the ground and wrecked his health.


2015 Bulls could have been Rose-Butler-Deng-Gasol-Noah with Hinrich, Dunleavy, and Gibson off the bench. If 2015 Deng hadn't gotten wrecked and was still 2012/2013 Deng, that team probably beats Bron with Kyrie/Love/Varejao hurt and then goes to the Finals, where anything could have happened.
These post be crazy yall using hypothetical all the time.The fact of the matter is he was a good player who injuries or illnesses turned to a jobber.He wasn't better than Shaun Livingston, Penny Hardaway ,or any other wing build that got hurt.
