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

[Braman]

I guarantee this will be the craziest stat from these Olympics :

Jayson Tatum was 6th on the team in minutes per game

Yea he didn’t play 2 games but when he did, he played 17mpg. More than Embiid, Ant, AD, Bam, and White.

5ppg, 5rpg. 0% from 3, 38% from the field

Outside of Dereck white, everybody on the team shot 50% from the field….except Tatum

The narrative will be he got a raw deal no Diddy but in actuality he just didn’t play well. Doesn’t mean he’s ‘exposed’ some guys just need to be a #1 option. Jimmy butler was bad on Olympic play too. But he’s low key lucky Kerr is taking all the flack and not him

 

[Paper Boi]

it was fun to be cheering for Steph again like he was back at davidson or on the 2015/2022 warriors.


foot on neck season returns tomorrow morning though @Gil Scott-Heroin

 

[McPiff]

These last two games it took the greatest shooter in League history, greatest scorer (Durant), and best all around player ever to win. I don’t wanna put too much in it but things might get shakey 28

once wemby gets some decent point guards and a decent coach, its wraps.

He was just not good

I’m still shocked

[Canon]

He was just not good

damn he struggled in the playoffs as well

what's up with dude?

 

[J Money]

He cared unsolicited before...

he'll care

To be honest the only people that seem to care about that shyt is nba fans

Lyles, nba players are just enjoying their medals and life

 

[Malcolmxxx_23]

Yeah context is everything. I do wish the NBA would ease up on the touch fouls, but this FIBA game that everybody is geeked off of was for the gold with Mount Rushmore players and the next up and comers to dominate the game. This wasn't Fenderbache vs. Olympiacos on a drab Tuesday night in a ten thousand seat arena. This was a game made up of royalty

Fiba looks good when the best nba players are playing

I was yelling at Kerr for having steph on the bench till the 6th min mark

 

[Mickey Kane]

Frenchies thought yall had one til yall woke the demon up

Or maybe the same team that is able to give their opponents respect medalled for the first time as a host nation since '96.

It took literally 3 of your greatest players of all-time to get the job done and they did just that.

If you think the gap is going to get wider by the time '28 arrives then...

 

[DoubleClutch]

He was just not good

Tatum is a rhythm shooter.

One good thing about Kerr (being a shooter himself) is he realized this and benched Tatum

Booker on the other Hand is effective and barley dribbles or needs the ball long to get his shots

Tatum was just a horrible fit. But he got a free Gold medal

Maybe his only one

 

[ThrobbingHood]

Actually Germany is lol

I'll never understand why you always send lesser teams to World Cup...
I mean, it's great to be a world champion lol



BTW USA Basketball should value World Cup more if they intend to continue dominating the Olympics lol

It would be great to see Steph at 2027 World Cup...

You can spot a white boy (or overseas breh) a mile away

Oh really?

How about we put that to the test?

You go first.

Just for the record, I want everyone to be bear witness to this super corny, super weird ass n*gga that has somehow turned what was a gesture of competitive respect, to this pseudo xenophobic, racist comment.

Is that what this forum has become?

Someone let me know.

Ella Mai p*ssy must be
