Lebron, Durant, Curry, Tatum, Lillard and now Embiid to join team USA for the Paris Olympics

[BK The Great]

When you’re the most dominant country the world has ever seen in the sport its always gold or bust.

With all that talent they should get gold, this year was a disappointment.

Steph's first olympics


those arenas are gonna explode when he starts acting up they never seen it in person after all these years

 

[Professor Emeritus]

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.

Are you sure about that?

Jokic, Giannis, Sabonis, Wembenyama, Murray, Hachimura, Porzingis all sat out the World Championships this year. Someone made a list of 40 international players who play in the NBA but chose not to play in FIBA. Would they have been sitting if it was the Olympics?

This was like the first time that's happened.

Uh, why is Draymond on this team? You either need shooting or someone who can bang down low.

America going the Jordanian and Philippines route of having to naturalize players because they don't develop talented players anymore is hilarious

Canada ended their chapter

 

[Belize King]

5: Embid/Davis
4: Bron/KD/Green
3: Tatum/Leonard
2: Booker/Edwards
1: Curry/Lillard/Fox

Bam wants to run as well. We need one more solid shooter. Maybe Maxey. We really don’t have a true lead guard. Haliburton or Trey but Hali got chewed up and Trey can’t shoot and holds the ball. Bridges deserves a spot in my opinion. Young, plays D, and shoots the 3.

Tough decisions and a lot of egos. How many of these players will be healthy next year anyway.

Honestly Green should step back or become a coach. He adds no real value if everybody is healthy. No minutes for him unless they go jumbo and put Bron/KD at 3 then Tatum/Leonard at the 2. I don’t trust Green as a swing at this point of his career.

Thoughts?
