I think bench guys would tbh

- Start date
Americans won't take it serious until they get these health club members off the floor.
the next guy
Superstar
Nah, we have the most medals overall and 2nd most gold. However, some swimming events that the US dominated have been taken over by other countries like Australia, Canada and the UK.
Michael Phelps, Ryan Lochte, Nathan Adrian, Cullen Jones, Matt Grevers, Aaron Peirsol, etc were just too GOATED.
We got used to their dominance
Most medals is a better indicator like King said, perception is different then reality. US is still at the top but they're winning minor events to do so.
By legit I meant actual NBA players like how the women sent WNBA players. Not Robbie Hummel.
Which NBA dudes are wasting their summers though? 3X3 you'd have to commit to the 3x3 world cup and then the world championships and years in advance.
Instead, the players—Plum, Dolson, Allisha Gray and Jackie Young, who replaced Katie Lou Samuelson just before everyone flew to Tokyo after Samuelson tested positive for COVID-19—trained for years, tweaking regimens, like increasing cardio for the all-out sprints, for this event. They went 6-0 in Olympic qualifying.
That would be bad for other nations, only the US can really field a strong squad of say under 23s (i think for football its 23 and under and there are 3 spots for any ages)
no one cares about the fiba world cup
I mean the next fiba world cup is being hosted by japan, phillipines and indonesia in two years, How many NBA players do you think are going to waste their time going from August 25 to September 10, 2023 halfway across the world and then go right back to training camp
Trae Young is out here playing ball against randoms right now. I don't think some players would consider it a waste to go win a medal instead of playing against neighborhood superstars.
The main hurdle they would have to overcome is getting the players to not look at it as a diss by not being on the 5x5 team. I think bench/ 6man types would play right off the bat.
but for consistent summers breh? it's for overseas guys thats why events even take place during the nba season
The 2021 FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament was initially scheduled to be held in Bangalore, India from 18 to 22 March 2020.[1] However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the tournament was moved to Graz, Austria and was held from 26 to 30 May 2021
Congrats to Latvia for winning men's 3x3.
Russia shouldn't win sh!t
Russia shouldn't win sh!t
These judges at the Olympics have definitely been biased towards Japan. This Daiki Hashimoto dude should NOT have won the gold medal in gymnastics. He made some huge mistakes yet still received high scores.
Japan has 13 gold medals already. That's crazy.

You right bruh, there are ZERO NBA players who would want to go to the Olympics and compete for a gold medal.
If they purposely only want slaw dudes then OK that's one thing. If that's the case then get this shyt out of here!
Of course there is breh but with the way the scheduling is set up it wouldn't work for NBA Players
thats all im saying
