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

[Belize King]

Bron the goat
MJ 2nd
KAJ 3rd
Duncan 4th
Russell 5th
Magic/Bird 6th/7th
Wilt 8th
Steph 9th
Kobe 10th
Shaq 11th
Hakeem12th
KD 13th
Big O 14th
Moses 15th
Jokic 16th

Embiid and Luka got a chance to Crack the top 15. Jokic is likely to be top 10, maybe top 5.

Jokic got the best chance to break the top 5 of the active players

I think your top 11 is universal. The order is personal preference (which shouldn’t be, numbers are numbers). If Jokic adds two rings, that might be enough to pass Shaq.

KD fumbled his legacy. He had an easy route to top ten status. He let ego consume him. Personally, I would have left as well. My sanity is worth more than playing with somebody like Green. Unless I whooped Green’s ass one good time, I’d be out.

Embiid imo is cooked. He won’t have the counting stats unless he takes care of himself. He has maybe 3 good years left.

Fukk that c00n

 

[the artist known az]

Tatum has been better than KD & Bron for the last 3 seasons

Tatum was the 2nd leading scorer on the last Olympic team

And ppl think he's the 11th best player on this team, FOH

The disrespect is crazy

I'm not taking nikkas like Bam, Book, Ant, Jrue, White, etc over him

The plan should've been to start him so he'd be ready to lead the team in 2028

If I'm him, I absolutely pass on LA

France gonna smoke the US in 4 yrs without him

I would say only if Kerr is the head coach he should do that. Otherwise this Olympics was for Bron KD and Chef

Cooper Flagg got next

He ain’t better than Paolo. Full stop.

Chet either. Plus Chet might have a couple rings by then.

It’s really only 2/3 spots available

The returning vets: Ant, Tatum, Hali, Booker, Bam

The new must-have stars: Ja, Zion, Chet, Paolo

I don’t see a 23 year old Flagg going in over prime Maxey, Jalen Williams (think Jrue holiday, he may be an elite glue guy multiple time champ),

Steph is Top 5 All Time

I don't get his point. The NBA isn't about entertainment. If it was, Team USA wouldn't have won 5 straight Olympic GOLD medals. International players need to learn how to adjust to the NBA players because Euro players always get out hustled, outplayed defensively and offensively in FIBA by the American players.

We hear this every year. Meanwhile we see when the American want to play defense all that Euro shyt goes out the door. Embiid, Bam, and AD put damn near 80% of the fukking tournament on lock.
