oh yall are the best,
I've always thought that "USA isn't skilled" or "AAU is isn't developing skilled players"
to be just low grade racism.
If anything this was a way less skilled France team relying on physical size of Gobert and Fall to overpower a smaller more skilled USA team.

If the France guards were more "skilled" they would have pulled off the upset.

all those 5 hour practices mean nothing if you can’t beat your man off the dribble. Huertel was making the wrong play every trip down the court
meanwhile our unicorn was making plays

Real talk though. Happy for the players that got their first gold medal. Going there during a pandemic with no fans and more restrictions doesn’t give you the full Olympic experience that others before them got. The game is way different too, settling into a completely different role. Glad they can bring home the hardware.

Seat Pleasant’s finest.
Basketball may be an international game, but the US is still superior.
Jerami Grant couldn’t sniff the floor. He’d be one of the best players on these other teams. The world still has a lot of catching up to do.

Yes, there is a medal ceremony... when all the medals are decided. Tonight decided the Gold and Silver.
Bronze medal game tomorrow morning on the USA channel, Slovenia vs. Australia, 7 EST.

Rudy Goober need to go play for one of these Euroleague teams though. Actually can make an impact in meaningful games there.

It's definitely gonna be a transition for Team USA as this current generation ages out. I already thought these Semifinals were the best it's ever been in terms of competition...2024 is about to be even better. France and Slovenia will be the teams to watch out for - I think they'll overtake Spain and Serbia as the European powerhouses. Australia has some young talent but they will also have a transition as the Patty Mills/Joe Ingles Era comes to an end and I don't think Ben Simmons will ever suit up for them
I don't know how good Greece is overall outside of Giannis...if that family wanted to make some noise in the international game, they should play for Nigeria
