Why in the world aren't people as depressed about the abolishment of the Ottoman empire, as they are with Yugoslavia? Imagine that NT...

Clearly possible because it happened. That can't be denied.
My point though is that Luka Dončić needs to get into better physical condition if he wants to be the best he can be and continue at the top of his game well into his mid-thirties.

Me I like the Roman Empire myself.
Doncic and Jokic ironically wouldn't even be eligable for Ottoman national team
But they would make Austria-Hungary favourite to win it all.I knew David Vojvoda's time would come sooner or later.

So you're telling me that he would have averaged 50/15/15 if he had less fat and more muscles?

You can tell the Olympics are winding down when NBC makes room for gold medal game on normal television instead of their paid streaming service.
Also, when people are discussing the basketball teams of countries that don't exist anymore. I think the Western Roman Empire would crush the Eastern Roman Empire, even if the East naturalizes a Parthian big man.

France play smart, with some lacks who misses for win, Usa for their own level didn`t play something especially. If Usa win this game, we can tell hypothetically France missed chance in first half, but they simply cannot much better than that. Game for now, justified importance of final, from tactical side and with result uncertainty. Good result for France in regard how like was first half with some turnovers and lacks which is exceeded for game like this, if they play well in second half and Usa play so-so, the have chances for win, what is success for them.

That game was tense! France just would not go away, but Durant proves himself again.
France is fast becoming our biggest rival.

Good enough. Props to the team for bouncing back from everything. Ten days ago I thought they probably would not win. Not the best US team ever, but as a said earlier, it's the only one that had to overcome real adversity, and that is worth a lot.
Props to France as well. Even though they didn't win the big game today, they are shedding their old reputation as a team that can't win the big games.
Game was like the US-Spain finals in that the US led most of the game but could never quite shake them. Those teams didn't have the offensive dry spells that this team had, but...good enough.
Javale McGee now has as many gold medals as Shaq.

Mission accomplished. I will give credit where it’s due, Popovich kept the team together and didn’t lose them after 2-3 start. But obviously Durant the key with a supporting cast that took turns helping him out along the way. Holiday steady all around all tournament long. Booker helped shoulder scoring load in semifinal, today it was Tatum with some key late shots by Lillard.

Luka Doncic by quarter this playoffs vs clippers:
1Q: 85 PTS, 54 FG%, 48 3P%
2Q: 71 PTS, 62 FG%, 57 3P%
3Q: 54 PTS, 44 FG%, 32 3P%
4Q: 40 PTS, 35 FG%, 28 3P%
either he needs to be in better shape to avoid wear and tear in d final quarter, or he needs better help so mavs can afford to rest him more or decrease his usage rate so he'll have more energy in d 4th.
it's probably d latter. but there is nothing wrong also if he can get close to lebron's fitness in his 20s.

France could do some things better, however they played good for their level most part of the game and the tournament. They make Usa suffer most since 2004. Some moves and decisions were wrong at finish. It seems like physically France failed at finish. Durant and Tatum did their excellent day and that makes so difficult to win against them. Very satisfying final, congratulations to Americans gold medal, congratulations to French first Olympic medal since 2000, . and I dare congratulate Slovenians bronze medal, if Australia will win, I apologize beforehand.

KD is MVP for sure. without him playing well, USA will be lucky to be playing for bronze.

Kevin Durant is the best FIBA player of all time. All the haters and traitors can suck our gold.

Pop should give a portion of his salary to KD for showing up to these games. KD by far the best player in the tourney and carried USA to gold. Which is weird to say for an US team but it’s true. They would’ve lost in the quarterfinals without him.

Imo again I see usa holding back.. when the lead goes up to double digits..there would be a time taht us will be defeated in the finals despite playing so well all tournament but not now when durant is your offensive anchor..
