[Mister Terrific]

They are fear-mongers

Anthony Edwards a 23 year old who averaged 25ppg this year and was 4th in scoring for Team USA and had dudes on here comparing him to DWade is a fukking bum who will never be a superstar apparently.

Ik Jaylen averaged 25 5 and 3 didn’t make the team Tatum averaged 27 rounding up 8 and 5 barely played haliburton averaged 21 and 11 played one game Macey averaged 26 4 and 6 wasn’t even thought of making the team and these dudes acting like they just gonna fall of a cliff or not get better but Sarr who shot worse than bronny gonna turn into a superstar it’s ridiculous

 

[Braman]

That’s like our 8th man!

THAT is the problem. Buy-in and changing the mentality thinking we need role players. Instead of a Zion we’ll pick Josh hart Fam we got Ja, Ant, Zion, Chet, Paolo on top of vets Book, Tatum, and Bam. We GOOD.

France is giving MVP chants for Yabusele who is a homeless man’s Zion, a vagabond’s Corliss Williamson. Get the entire fukk outta here.

 

[Mister Terrific]

Just look at the domination of Fiba u 17 and u 18

USA wins every year

And you got people who actually follow this shyt saying this years U-17 squad was the best they’ve ever seen.


111-60 but naw the USA ain’t producing elite talent no more. Luka and his generational Insurance agent supporting cast got next.

ZION HAS NEVER ENTERED

We dont play ‘team world’.

You keep citing cumulative international improvement in an argument about individual country threats.

Also your argument is flawed bc 1) you’re assuming exponential growth of star talent when we havent seen that anywhere but the US. Meaning, there ain’t another Luka, Giannis, or Jokic coming for another generation. Ie Argentina had Ginobli 20 years ago, and havent come close to him nor have they gotten better since. Puerto Rico had Carlos arroyo, nobody since. Brazil Oscar Schmidt, Nene, nobody since. Spain Gasol brothers, nobody since

2) You’re ignoring that star international players can’t help where they from and their country-mates might be trash so their team isn’t a threat (Giannis and Greece) or they don’t even qualify. Ie Sabonis and Latvia, Siakim/Embiid and Cameroon, Kuminga and Congo

It’d be better to have a SPECIFIC conversation about the US vs France or Canada, not the wOrLd cAtcHin uP bc it’s a flawed argument

Even if the point is that we are in an unknown period of who our next generational star to anchor these teams from 2028 and beyond so we can't bank on future success, while fair still doesn't account that other teams have to still be there in 2028 and beyond as well. Jokic will be four years older, Giannis, same thing. I think we've earned the benefit of the doubt since NBA players started playing in the Olympics based on our record since then. If you're weary, that's fine but those other teams still have to prove it for us to take it seriously.

My Mom loved watching Snoop this year throughout the Olympics. Now if only I could get her to listen to a Snoop album. (Probably not.)

[Bigwhite2498]

Only one American in sight and he's still out there trying to find where he left his jumpshot.

Second and third team was literally all Americans so you didn’t even prove your point

Can’t have it both ways boss. This is why I say folk grade on a curve.

So I can’t cite Zion but when hyping up international play dudes can project Alex Sarr who just went what 0/15, or ‘Nolan Traore’ who’s 18.
