^^ MF had this goofy shyt saved in a wordpad document just waiting to copy and paste.



Okay.

USA basketball will never ever struggle or face any kind of resistance in international play, ever.

ITs always going to be just as easy as it was for the 1992 Dream team. Dont even play the games just hand us the gold for the next 10 Olympics and call it a day.

Happy now?

Is there not a happy medium between Team USA is not capable of losing and the world’s basketball talent is equal to Team USA

 

[Primetime]

I was thinking about that too. Whole program being carried by old heads and the world is catching up. Somebody in the USA is going to have to emerge. Obviously younger players are talented but they're about to lose a lot of winning and leadership.

The silver lining is the USA will always have the depth over any one country.

Serbia's engine (Jokic, Bogdanovic) will succumb to the same fate as Argentina's (Ginobli) and Spain's (Gasol Bros)...

... with no viable replacement despite what ppl were projecting 10 and even 20 years ago.


By next Olypmics, Jokic will be 33.5. Bogdanovic will be 35. Shroder will be 35. Giannis will be 34.

The next inernational NBA superstar may damn well be Croatian or something, and if so it'll just be Luka with Slovenian all over again. Not enough.

Lol The Japanese national continuing to try so hard to pretend he watches or knows anything about basketball will not stop being funny to me

You overcompensate and try so hard to pretend to still be American. It's hilarious and adorable

They probably stayed to watch a team with actual stars show them how it’s done imagine if they played Serbia instead of France

You realize you're talking to a guy from Japan right?

He hasn't watched a single one of these games and doesn't watch the NBA either

It's 4 o clock in the morning where he is when these games happen and like 6am when the NBA is on

Atleast have actual basketball fans come at us

Thing about Basketball and Track.

Basketball is a team sport. Track is an individual sport. (ignoring relays and point competitions in HS and College of course)

If you falling in Basketball , have a bad game, you always have a teammate that can come save you. In Track no one is coming to save you.

Curry carrying America on his back is crazy. Yeah KD, you left that and I know you want that old thang back
