France's guard depth hasn't developed over the years and now Fournier and de Colo looking older. Hayes & Ntilikina being bums and not stepping up as the next wave probably gonna handicap them for the next few FIBA cycles.

It’s gonna get spooky for France if Wemby & Coulibaly don’t pan out

They been producing nothing but busts for the last 5-6 years

Killian Hayes, Ntilkina, Okobo, TLC, Doumbouya, Yabusele, Maledon. Ousmane Dieng looked like he was two years away from being two years away as a rookie

Gobert, Batum, Fournier & De Colo all 30+

James Naismith invented shooty hoops in a Massachusetts winter. Basketball was invented because they needed an indoor sport because it was too cold to play football. He had no idea you could dribble the ball. They were basically playing indoor tackle football. The idea of passing came about so they would stop tackling each other.

A Canadian invented basketball at a YMCA in Massachusetts.

Chew on that.

A couple of New Jersey kids went to Canada to learn how to play rugby. When they came back to Harvard, they didn't start playing rugby.....

Dave Grohl's Super Bowl Ad Has Many Wondering if Canada Invented Football

Wait, did Canada invent football? In his Super Bowl ad for Crown Royal, musician Dave Grohl thanks Canada for creating American football.

So, did Canada invent American football?​

In a shocking turn of events, yes, Canada did invent American football. According to CBC Sports, North America's "big four" sports leagues — NFL, MLB, NBA, and NHL — all have Canadian roots.

CBC Sports confirmed that McGill University in Montreal invented football in the early 1870s, noting that in the spring of 1874, the school sent a letter to Harvard and challenged them to a few friendly games of "Foot-ball" in Cambridge, Mass.

Well baseball is barely a sport, so who cares. I'd put it along the lines of hot dog eating contests and chess in terms of being a sport

Basketball, we've surpassed you. By alot

Americans are more into stuff like tik Tok dances and finding new ways to get cheese inside of burgers or hot dogs
