The official, full FIBA team after all the cuts:


This is highly regarded as the most stacked FIBA U17 of all-time. Last season they nearly beat Canada by 100, now this team is more experienced.

They just destroyed France, the 2nd best team by 23 points today.

Bronny being drafted yesterday felt like the culmination of years of mediocrity to get to this point. All the money and training in the world to be a sub par college athlete who never got the time to work on his game because that was never the point. The point is getting to the NBA by any means as fast as possible and letting things sort out from there.

I don't think anything is gonna change until we start consistently losing in the Olympics. Maybe that wakes people up.

They won't care then, they'll just bring more foreign players, and blame the black players over here.

A #55 pick has no correlation to what's going on in the current youth climate. That U17 group is considered one of the best ever since the tournament was created and they should run through that tourney, just look at what they did to France today.

Agree with posters saying its across the board. We've seen NFL players drafted in the first round never considered one of the best in college during their tenure. They get in through family connections and relationships with the right people in the front offices.

It’s crazy….the most heartfelt thing was seeing a kid from the trenches get drafted and immediately buy his mama a house or a nice car that she been dreaming of.:mjcry:


The rich kids like “my mama already got a house and cars..get your money up” :childplease::camby:
Rich Kids that also have that DOG in them gotta be the worse experience ever for the trench babies
:mjcry:

Imagine a millionaire kid just better than you that knows it and is shytting on you on the court (your way out) and leaving the HS game in a sports car with IG Thots in his DMs before he even in the NBA

:damn:

Yup.

Low key that's how the world looks at America.

America just beat Guinea today 124-49 and you can tell Guinea was feeling some type of way about it in the first half as they kept taking a few cheap shots at them when it was about a 20-30 point game in the 2nd quarter.

America DESPERATELY needs another big basketball league and more support for minor leagues
How does this fix things?

I mean you even acknowledge it will never happen. At this point the minor league is the NCAA and goals for the "trench babies" need to be readjusted to getting a free degree + NIL money.

There's a huge market for the level of talent just below NBA level who could ascend to household names after 4 years of NCAA tourney success.
