Embiid and Gobert up front with Wembanyana off the bench is pretty crazy

So the Olympics are turning into the NCAA where nations just recruit top talent?

Represent Africa?
Cameroon has no shot at making the Olympics. He wants to play competitive international ball. No issue here

If the players from Cameroon played, they would qualify pretty easily
Who else they got
Mostly big guys: Siakam, Luc Richard Mbah A Moute, Christian Koloko (Raptors), Paul Eboua from the Heat's G-League team
I don't like this, but I get it. There's just not that much funding there in Africa for sports. Even Nigeria had problems with their teams, they could barely afford to send their guys to the Olympics.
Just a strange decision by Embiid though. He's not the most durable player and he's had so many injuries. Why is he going out of his way to play for a country he's never lived in and risk injury?

it's been like that. Basketball makes it easier because changing citizenship allows overseas players to play without taking up a foreign player spot.So the Olympics are turning into the NCAA where nations just recruit top talent?
Luka Doncic gonna be throwing lobs to Anthony Randolph and shyt
It’s pretty much the same as the HBCU argument in college. Everyone wants players to do it based on some principle, but the players only have a short time span to actually play, so they would essentially be sacrificing their own playing career in order to prop up a future generation and appease a certain group of fans, both of whom likely wouldn’t appreciate it.

Thankfully nobody really cares about this shyt
It’s just a good way to pass time during a slow sports time

Weird. If he’s not gonna play for Cameroon, he should be playing for Team USA.
