Steph should be the mvp, forget about the group stage fucker shown up when it matters the mostComment

There are days when Steph just cant miss.Comment

KD is a disappointment. Good thing Curry was there to bail them out.
AD what an X Factor on defense. They would have lost without him. He is the real DPOY player, not Gobert. Gobert just proved how low his basketball IQ is.
This game belongs to Curry, AD and Lebron. Booker too. Booker can be part of the 2028 team.Comment

Nope... They will play in fully air conditioned arena, the hotels there are nearby the arenas who are only 10 mins travel time and also the European fans will have lesser hassle to travel since it is just only 1 or 2 hr flight to Doha.. Lebanese, Greeks, turkish, Serbians, Sudanese, etc.. fans can go to Doha easily unlike last year that the travel time to Manila is about 12-15 hr flight...Originally posted by thatweirdguy View PostComment

It's hard for Durant when he was guarded by Alien... Curry take that advantage of lack of quality guards of France... But France will definitely have a bright future with Wemby as their leader...Originally posted by greenarcher View PostComment

Edwards and Booker will have big responsibility to continue the American basketball legacy.. this is hard because the next batch of American stars are no nearby talent of those 3 legends... Tatum is a disappointment this event.. and I don't know if he will play again at Olympics after this... Chet and Flagg should lead team USA 2027 World cup team.. they badly need experience...Originally posted by greenarcher View PostComment

Any team USA shorter than this team in terms of talent and cohesion will have a high probability of losing the game. We are talking about the team USA with LeBron, KD and Curry in the line-up yet they needed clutch from these players to win. This is the best US team assembled in recent memory.
After this Olympics, US will still send better teams but without the presence of quintessential players. When things go south, these players carried them. Without them, I don't know what will happen to team USA. It remains to be seen what will happen to the team post-LeBron, Curry and KD.Attack

That shot Curry took when he was completely covered by a double team is the perfect illustration of his supreme confidence. KD was wide open to his left and LeBron was wide open on the corner. France was doing everything to make him pass. Yet...he shoots and he scores. Unbelievable cajones.
This type of confidence is what separates the greatest shooter from the greats.Last edited by Metta; 08-11-2024, 02:04 AM.Comment

Quite interesting that among the top performers of team USA in the 2024 Olympics are the most senior members of the team - Lebron, Curry & Durant. All of whom aren't expected to play for team USA in the next Olympics. Lebron turns 40 in December. Curry & Durant are around 35 or 36 yrs old.
So what does the future holds for team USA? What would be USA basketball team look like in the next 4 years or so? Who will succeed Lebron, Durant & Curry?"A king may move a man, a father may claim a son, but that man can also move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his own game. Remember that howsoever you are played or by whom, your soul is in your keeping alone, even though those who presume to play you be kings or men of power, when you stand before God, you cannot say, 'But I was told by others to do thus,' or that virtue was not convenient at the time. This will not suffice." - King Baldwin IVComment

Experience is very important, especially in short, high-pressure tournaments like this. That's one of the flaws of the US World Cup team, it was mostly newbie players in terms of international play with no real veteran.Originally posted by JAMSKIE View Post
Aside from the US vets...Fournier, Batum and De Colo showed why experience is valuable.
Wemby (if he stays healthy) will be scary starting next Olympics and beyond. This defeat really stung him.Comment

I'm just waiting for new updated FIBA ranking maybe later this week... I'm sure USA will hold the top spot.. while Serbia, Germany and France will likely be in the top 4 rankings while Canada will be in number 5.. Spain, Argentina, Slovenia will likely go down further in FIBA rankings.. I see Japan might enter top 20 rankings together with SSD... Lebanon (maybe from 28 to 26) will slightly up and Philippines (maybe from 37 to 34-35)... Iran (from 29 to 35 to 36) China (from 30 to 38)will likely go down while Jordan will not move.. Korea will go down further more... If we are better than Iran and China in FIBA rankings (with Jordan) before the FIBA Asia cup next year, we will get better draw for next continental event in Jeddah... Our target is to be atleast rank 25-28 range going to 2027 FIBA World cup to avoid harder group for the quest of Olympic stint in 2028 Olympics...Comment

Where did that list come from? Embiid if healthy is essential. He's what forces teams to play zone defense and is vital when other teams go big/strong. They would still need a similar player.Originally posted by Giannis34GOD View Post
Also, Juan Wick Jaquez has played for Mexico in the PanAm games.Comment
