If he’s not going to play for Cameroon he should be playing for Team USA.

The nation he has lived in for the last 14 years.

This dude is literally playing for his home countries oppressor and colonial power.

I wish there was more infrastructure on African sports

Just like in soccer there is so much talent but not enough resources

Cameroon would actually have a decent squad if the program was better

Fasho…

I was just talking more overall

If Africa had more infrastructure in sports they could be so much better… because the talent is there.

In a perfect world he could be like a how Luka, and Jokic, ect. represent their countries and take it so seriously and prideful.

Wish African brehs didn’t have to go to Europe and play for they teams.

the ether
Joel Embiid
Victor Wembayama
Evan Fournier
Killian Hayes
Theo Maledon

With Gobert coming off the bench. And the Olympics will be held in Paris. It's gonna be tough for USA, hopefully Zion will be healthy enough to start at the 5.


Interesting to think what kind of fit Zion is at the 5 in international ball compared to Draymond, Bam, Jarrett Allen, or Robert Williams III.

He needs to improve his defense a lot still from what we saw of him before.

To be fair, he lives here because his job is here. I've never seen anything from him that makes me believe he identifies the least bit as American.

Plus with what’s being said by the black Americans about Africans and island blacks I would be surprised they hear it
