We would’ve cleaned up if Spo was head coach.

Whats funny about the track star situation is most the nba players who got offended were the ones who stayed home. That put all the pressure on the guys who actually went to prove him wrong. Kd showing once again why his ceiling is passenger and not a driver.

Also on a seperate note FIBA should be THE tournament. Second most popular sport in the world but the best tournament is one where we are just another side show amongst other games? Not saying we should take the olypmics any less cereal but it seems like this should be a bigger deal. Aside from us fans most people dont even know fiba exists

I never understood why people say Olympics>World cup
Basketball is basketball and in the world cup there are 20 more teams competing. 12 vs 32

I guess the NBA regular season>NBA Playoffs

There are 30 teams in the regular season competing. 30 vs 16

Here's the root of getting back out of shape for the regular season

Noah Lyles and RG3 cut from the same cloth. Cornball brothas. Word to Rob Parker

Kobe was smashing Stephanie Rice. No doubt about it. The Olympic Village history of hook ups is legendary…

Need EDG and Team Canada to get a dub tomorrow morning for ultimate chaos.

This is wild to me. Like why even waste the time doing this!? Chris Paul doesn't have the cache to make these kinds of things happen anymore.

 

[RustyShackleford]

I love this for the Warriors

Not a single member of Team USA is currently an NBA champion so Noah Lyles shouldn't be taking victory laps. In fact Bobby Portis is the only one with a ring.

Has confuse as to where this debate is at this point

So does this mean Germany or Serbia needs to play the Nuggets to determine the World Champ

 

[clyde the glide]

I wonder why baseball players werent as upset...

Gotta atleast try it the potential on offense is too high not to. If its not enough where it makes up for the defensive issues than go away from it, but u dont bring in a hall of famer and not atleast try it.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

CP3 gon be getting on Steph's nerves by December along with zero perimeter defense. This is gonna be a disaster.

Yea, posting the Noah Lyles pics are funny but none of this is even related to his argument

 

[spiderjericho]

Because he specifically called out basketball players, which has a predominant demographic of African lineage. Must be friends with Candance Owens. Or he may just have a case of the green-eyed devil.

The Dream Team inspired the world to embrace basketball and get better at an American created sport.

It’s preposterous to think we didn’t let capitalism and other matters get in the way of international competition in FIBA. We got gold in the last Olympics. The NBA, it’s players don’t take FIBA seriously and we end up in the same news cycle.

Thats what makes all the players getting offended even funnier to me. Anyone whos traveled or atleast been amongst other people knows that americans thinking the world revolves around them is a real thing. Alot of folks view us this way we call it the world series, world champions etc. No one is actually debating the turkish league is better than the nba

But ofcourse american basketball players, commonly known as some of the softest athletes, took it personally. Noah trolled them perfectly

 

[aepps20]

Still pumped about Team USA hope Canada beats them too.
