Fox, ja, Zion, bridges, Mitchell Robinson, brown, Tatum, lamelo, jimmy, ant, bam, booker should be damn near locks for the team

Maybe Cade, jalen Duran, jjj, bane, Myles turner, trae, bachero, Chet, garland, Donovan Mitchell, diavon Mitchell, smart, the center for the gizzles, Beal, the sg for rockets, Mobley, smith, maxey, Terrance man, khawi, dude who was on the knicks but got traded to the pacers, jure

I forgetting others but this is the grouo they need to be primarily picking from, create an explosive defensive first team make that the identity, I almost want to say fukk letting Steve Kerr coach but somebody got to really get them to lick down defensively

I find it quite pathetic tbh. These nikkas only have national pride during the Olympics, but FIBA is some child’s play type of event. It shouldn’t be that way
That's how it's always been...

Only in soccer is the world cup considered more prestigious than the Olympics

But thats because soccer in the Oympics is U23

If they want to make FIBA more prestigious then they need to follow suite and make the basketball U23 with maybe a couple of wild cards

It’s always been a big thing, look at the Dream Team way back in 92. Maybe the younger fans don’t know anything about how much it does matter.
Its only Americans who value the Olympics as highly as we do. we sent out best teams to the Olympics and were never serious about the world championships, since the start in 1950.

The rest of the world takes the world championship more serious.

we know this because the US had a worse result in 2019, which no one remembers.

In 2002, at home, the US was damn near last place.

USA team had its moments though, but this years team was at least supposed to get a silver medal, they couldn’t even get a bronze medal with all the talent they had.
