Old Going For Gold: USA Men's Olympic Basketball - Next Up The Main Event vs France (8/10 @ 3:30pm ET)

[Lurkio]

even the biggest Boston homo (homer) bill Simmons has backed the D white over jaylen brown thing…and even understands the Tatum thing…he even said Tatum is being benched coz HE CANT SHOOT 3s and is even PASSING THEM UP IN PARCTICE

THIS IS WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT FROM BEGINNING!

I wanted to see Lebron, KD, and Curry on court, brehs better enjoy this moment in time..

BREHS!!!!!!!

Just watch like the last 2-3 minutes in 4th qtr and see greatness.. That sequence at the end is what I am happy we got to witness.. We almost did not get to see this at all but definitely these guys in their primes, understand 39, 36, 35 years of age! We goin to be the most annoying old heads talking about this era

We got one more game brehs, ENJOY THIS shyt.

Melo calling the play then telling Kevin to cook?

Olympic Melo was beyond ridiculous. Spot up easy mode 3s, eat every slow ass big off the dribble, and just grab boards.

Dereck white was -16 in 7 minutes

And people still ‘he’s been playing well’

A lot of folk— Kerr included —-don’t get it. Our advantage is pure talent domination. Ain’t shyt about any ‘fit’ or role players or none of that. Bron-KD-Steph-Embiid were just better than anyone Serbia had. Including Jokic today. Which is EXACLTY what I said when they added Derrick white



Kerr is under the illusion that he needs specialists to play D meanwhile when needed KD old ass clamped up, Bron clamped up, even curry bust his ass to get over screens. You do not need to play guys who are lesser offensive threats for defensive purposes this is not GS stop trying to make a draymond. It’s just giving other teams better odds bc Derrick white and Jrue (and even Booker somewhat in this format ) are a ‘night off’. I’d rather guard them than Ant, Tatum, and AD

Mostly true except about Booker. He's been a 2 way terror for a few years now. He's been killing it this Olympics.

Steph 3.
Bron Steal and doing the dash on the fast break.
KD Middy after calling for the iso.



Back to back to back.

God couldn’t have written a better script for that last few minutes.

Used to pray for times like this. THIS. SEQUENCE.

I could be prisoner of the moment but this will go down as one of my all time favorite games as a basketball fan

Curry, Bron, and KD going back to back to back has to be one of the best blessings I've ever had the experience of watching as a sports fan.

All of their career feats intersected in the harmony of three sequences.

That shyt was beautiful....

Some of you are being dishonest. The Boston Celtics with Psycho Joe coaching would beat Serbia. There's no question about it. Their chemistry and the mismatches they would present... They'd also shoot the 3 better and at a higher clip than Serbia.

The reason these games are close sometimes is because Kerr is an idiot and the players don't have enough time to practice with one another.

Kerr ain’t the only coach that made mistakes tho. #30 on Serbia was going shot for shot with Steph most of the game, and they closed with micic instead, who’s been pretty terrible all Olympics

Breh just to get those moments.. I dont think most understand.. We almost didnt get it, but someone made the call and they all were healthy and out the playoffs early.. I cheered it in playoff thread.. THIS RIGHT HERE..

I cant get over the Bron layup. He starts the gather behind the ft line and glides. It's scary as hell to see this big guy running at you like that. It's like a D end running clean to a qb

 

[skyrunner1]

That was a moment

It's been an honor to watch them play

Such a legendary moment.

Steph hits a 3 for the lead
Bron in transition
KD midrange nothing but net


shyt was straight out of an anime

Just goin thru the thread brehs.. Im super late but dam

 

[GunRanger]

Yall acting like these other euro teams are going to be nice 4 years from now

Spain trash
Greece trash
Canada no bigs
Serbia with older joker
Luka team trash

France only hope to challenge them
But all their best players are rookies

Lowkey, USA lucky luka is so loyal to Slovenia. His dad is Serbian. Him and Jokic together would be a problem

What's crazy is you could argue all 3 hit their signature shots: LeBron going to the rim and being the GOAT at finishing, KD the midrange killer off a 1 on 1 iso, and Steph hitting a backbreaking 3.
