I said it after the World Cup last year and I'll say it again after the Olympics. FIBA/IOC needs to expand to 16 teams in the Olympics. This was probably the best international tournament we've seen and the talent pool has grown significantly and will continue to grow. Teams like Latvia, Lithuania, Slovenia, Bahamas, Croatia, etc... didn't even make it and they are decent teams with good NBA players.

That squad ain't winning gold unless Chet is 2001-07 KG...US bigs aren't elite anymore

You trippin. Chet and Paolo are going to be elite by then. With the outside shot that Chet will be able to play the 5 by then. As far as size/defense Bam is the critical piece. If he’s still healthy and near -prime he’s the anchor at the 5. And then the wildcard is Donovan Clingan

Man had the best Olympics. Just vibing in Paris, chilling with the team, no pressure to perform, and ended up with a Gold medal. After party probably fun as hell too. Got to watch a bunch of other cool sports live for free.
Life is good for breh right now. Signed a 200m+ deal last summer, pacers made it to the ECF and in season champship :troll: , now he got to sit front row and watch the last olympics of KD, Steph, and Bron and received a gold medal for his trouble.

:wow:

Steph is top 10 for me. He's passed Shaq. I don't think he will ever pass Russell, Wilt, or Duncan for me
So you have in no order the 4 giants: Russ, Wilt, Duncan, and Kareem. 2 SF in Bron and Bird. 2 points in Curry and Magic. MJ the Goat.
:ehh:
Who is your tenth?
:sas2:
Shaq, Kobe, KD, Oscar, Kareem, Moses?
