Nigeria upsets Australia in womens basketball

Nope.. that means lesser pressure to perform because you have a stack roster.. Durant able to perform very efficiency in GSW days because of stack line up with prime Curry, Klay, Iggy and Dray out there.. same scenario for US teams he played.. while although he can perform well in other teams, the efficiency when he plays for US or in his GSW days is very different than when he played with OKC, Nets and now Suns... We can't assume how efficiency Oscar before since back in the day, No stats for efficiency ratings... But many of international fans, especially older generation sees Oscar Schmidt is the greatest international baller all time... He scores 40, 50 or even 60 pts in FIBA rules that has only 40 min game.. I think even Jordan before respect Oscar's game...

You, yourself said that we cannot assume his efficiency, so if his efficiency is a much awful than KD, would not that contradict your claim?

White showing why he deserves a spot on this team.

Kerr skipped JB, benched JT and played White a lot of minutes. Kerr ( and maybe Spo) breaking up the Celtics by creating dissention among the 3. LOLz

Couldve been so much sweeter if world-renowned bully Liz Cambage still plays for the Opals. Cambage said some deragatory remarks during an exhibition match against Nigeria ahead of the 2021 Tokyo Games, something like " go back to Africa" even if she's half black / Nigerian herself.

KD and Chase were co-MVP of the McDonald's High School All-American Classic All-Star Game.

Sabrina coming off the bench for US women is just unfair

Ironic because her father was Nigerian. There's a video of that scrimmage where she got floored by the Nigerian center and no one from the Opals tried to backed her up Lol. And then last year, there are rumors the she wants to join Nigeria after the Opals dumped her because of her shenanigans.

Her behaviour and sense of entitlement really is revolting. She's lucky she's somewhat tall and good in putting the ball through a hoop.

I think Kerr is correct so far. He has a lot of SFs and scorers. He needs guards who can do many things as well as defend. JB unfortunately is not a guard. JT seemed to be a placeholder for KD. Unfortunately KD was hot.

You don't know how good Oscar Schmidt he was before... He was basically the Jordan of FIBA/Olympic basketball... Even Barkley and Kobe acknowledge his greatness... If not for amateurism of international ball in the past, he's definitely a NBA all Star.. he just pick to stay in his home just to be available every international competitions... KD is very good for sure, but he's playing with so many greats too in team USA, lessen his pressure to perform... Oscar Schmidt is like Giannis or Jokic, lifting his country to higher recognition despite not so strong basketball team of his country ... I will agree KD is better than Oscar if he led another national team atleast a medal contender just like they did.. KD can't win a ring with his own as a leader, superstar in the NBA...
