[Controversy]

Can’t believe the Sky fumbled Gabby because she wanted to play for her national team imagine her on this team

She'd be perfect to pair with the Barbie & Carter

 

[mson]

Chicago I think. It’s a money thing, she makes way more in the Euroleague IIRC

I wonder will Gabby Williams come back to the WNBA

Gabby Williams: Unlikely to play in WNBA in '24

Gabby Williams said she likely won't play in the WNBA next season due to the league's prioritization rule, but she plans to be back in 2025, by which time the issue should ease a bit without the Olympic break.

On my way to console Gabby.

 

[Big Blue]

I was wondering why Marine Johannes wasnt on a WNBA roster

Pretty sure the Liberty have the cap space to sign her back

 

[torcher]

Taurasi got a free 6th gold medal.

She shouldnt have even been there

The ratings probably shot up to just see if USA would lose (and didn't).

They grew the game and didn't even realize it.

Now USA has 8 golds in a row while she was watching the Yankees split a doubleheader like me.

Dam if she was on the Storm this year....mannn they already got a decent squad

Yea and she's been done dirty a few times due to the WNBA's wack priortization rules, France's pro league runs late so she's had to miss seasons due to it. She's the most athletic high level hooper I've seen, was competing in the US Olympic Trials in the high jump as a teenager.

The same dudes who were rooting for serbia
the same clowns who were rooting for france [that weren't french] like that sellout @stepbackj34spud

they'll do anything to not support brothas and sistas

France has brothas and sistas

 

[Liu Kang]

Wow so I think we tied China in GOLDs.... Tiebreaker goes to the medal count fukk CHINA!!!!

Tie goes to silver count then bronze. You're still first anyway

 

[puggle]

Have to agree with others. I think Sydney Olympics was good as well but Paris Olympics tops it. Very competitive on the edge of your seat every day.

I think this was the best one since 2008 Beijing and I might be a prisoner of the moment but this current one might have had even better moments. I will admit a lot of it is also because Tokyo was so ass

 

[aceboon]

Game like that should hopefully lead to less politics in the selection of the next team. Only one natural PG on the roster and she's playing on a bum foot and couldn't even break the paint.

THE GOAT OLYMPICS...

I WONT LIE, I LIKE WHEN
WE'RE OVERSEAS OPPOSED TO
PERFORMING IN FRONT OF THE HOME CROWD.

LA AINT GONNA HIT THE SAME
NOT BEING THE VILLAINS


​

facts. this was the goat Olympics IMO, everything was hitting this cycle. The swimming, Simon and the gals in the gym. All the track & field was outstanding all around. Watching Bron, Chef & KD on the court and then the ladies finally get tested today for gold. Volleyball was dope on the beach and the gym. I randomly got into Rugby & Waterpolo for two days. For anyone into golf too, Scottie coming out the final day a dropping 9 under par to take gold for USA was

I actually liked the primetime stuff midday, I’m in between projects at work and was able to lock in on shyt live.

Paris was a great host too
