This is a common theme with Europeans in EVERY DAMN SPORT.
They think when Americans, Africans, Caribbean etc., win at sports, it's because of athleticism. When THEY win, it's always on some lunch pail shyt. European sport commentators stay with the
."The Dutch are so disciplined, smart, heady"
"The Nigerians are just so athletic and powerful but can they handle the pressure and do they have the mental fortitude."
The US is so much better at basketball that they throw their teams together last minute and rarely lose in the Olympics to teams who dedicate their lives to beating the US.
The same story every 4 years for the past 20 years.

Didn't watch the award ceremonies, but I heard Serbia was straight blitzed during the medal presentation
Them cats been getting drunk, singing and smoking cigarette and cigars the whole Olympics. Heard they were lit every time in Olympic Village

I ain't even mad at it. I know I'll go harder celebrating winning at dominoes harder than I will having successful project at work. When you with ya people it hits different and you can be your real self.

Some speculation from Celtic fans he re-aggravated a wrist injury he’s been delaying getting surgery on for like 2 years
Shame that Ye fell off
This would have been the universal theme song for USA putting in work this Olympics

Next Olympics will be the biggest test yet in the last 20+ years for this squad. It won't be as simple as just throwing a team together.
There'll be no overlap of generational talent (as it now stands) on the team, and countries like Canada and France will have superstars (in their prime), anchoring theirs. It won't be long before Wemby is running shyt, and we don't have anyone who can really match up with him. The greater influx of Euro talent coming through the NBA will shrink the talent advantage we have too.
We saw even an all-time stacked team weren't immune to the powers of the 3-pt shot against Serbia. A team only needs the 3-pt variance in their favor for just ONE game, and it's over. Which is kind of ironic given we needed the greatest 3-pt shooter that's ever lived to bring it home in the last two games.

the postseason performance i chalk up to the defense prioritizing him heavily(all that struggling & he still lead them across the board)
he showed he knows how to draw that attention & instead of chucking through it he feeds his squad contributing in a holistic sense
jt role is the role bron was playing in the olympics he wasn't gonna get in & get in rhythm
he has shown up to this point he can play through the chatter from outside
he's not the gun-slinging chucker prototype most people celebrate
watching him in the finals i saw he has that eye where you can see him holding back trailing a little watching & you can see his brain turning
he's not out there tunnel vision just dropping shells
but people don't rate that they call it passive soft etcetera etcetera etcetera unless it's nikola then they call it genius HA

NAH THEIR CHEMISTRY
WAS DEFINITELY A PROBLEM AS WELL.
KD COMPLAINED ABOUT THE OFFENSE
AFTER THE SEASON WAS OVER.
HE WAS RELEGATED TO STANDING
IN THE CORNER TOO OFTEN
WHILE THEY HAD BOOK TRYING
TO PLAY LIKE LUKA...
IN THIS OLYMPICS
BOOK HAS SHOWN HE CAN
CONTRIBUTE TO THE TEAM
WITHOUT DOMINATING THE BALL
AND FOCUSING ON DEFENSE.

Lebron was a de facto PG on the court and setting up people with some insane passes. Did you really compare what Tatum does to that? Tatum has shown improved playmaking when a team doubles him but not the ability to just straight up QB an entire offense when that doesn't happen.
