That 3 was for America!

Great job by Tatum, White, and Jrue leading this team to the gold.

Bring back Yabu, Brad!

"Only" gonna be 39. He's absolutely doing it.

With Lebron.

No one will convince me that he won't be on the Olympic team, IN LA, if he's still playing in the NBA in 2 years. (Under contract)

I could see him even take a year off/retire NBA wise in 27, but play in 28, similar to Magic. (Retired in 91, played in 92 Olympics)

Obviously the hardest one

I think he and Ant will lead the 2028 team. Big opportunity with it being in LA.

Waltham Westbrook probably ain't gonna show up unless he gets a playing time guarantee

 

[B Sox]

He’s 1000% playing

There’s like 3 guys that have 3+ golds ever for Team USA. Him and Bam are absolutely going to be on the team to try for it.

For those missing the context:

European basketball is not awesome. I used to stream Euro League games and Schroeder is not telling the truth. Most of those games were terrible from player talent, coaching and skill. People need to be honest that guys like Jokic, Wendy and others are legit generational talents and part of a golden generation in their country’s basketball history. The main advantage Euro ball has is continuity and consistency in their roster. If we had an actual national team where the top guys played together every summer with a coach that could establish a real offense and defense, we would be even better

 

[ALNotSure]

Realtalk congrats to the entire team. Seeing how basketball has grown is incredible. It’s so good to see the USA being the inspiration and still being #1.

Curry saved us the last two games. No better shooter ever.

Lebron is somehow defeating father time. Absolutely amazing how he’s mastered the game.

Everyone else played their roles very well for the most part.

Scary to think where this game will be in 20 more years.

Copped

So Tatum played in the Olympics how he played in the Finals.

Jaylen right now

I feel like that's how they feel about us in general. Outside of basketball.

Nike has yet to top the Olympic jackets from London

That was the same Olympics they dropped the 3M windrunners. Unfortunately, I was too poor to buy one.

Still got both of the jackets. They never sold the pants.

Bron said at the start of camp with all the traffic that will be in LA, that he is leaving town for two weeks. But after 2012 no one thought he would play again, so there's that.
