Looks like an NBA audition for him. LOL

Nembhard vs Brizuela show.

Spain is in new era, I never see guys above 6'10.. that 4 guy is 6'9 at most

Man if only Canada also had Wiggins, Sharpe and Clarke.

Barring any upsets, it looks like USA, Canada and Germany for the medals.

Canada is probably one good center away to give USA some fits. Their center rotation Olynik, Powe and Birch work hard, but they dont scare anybody. Definitely not Aussie center Landale who feasted on them.

I read this before last year, and i have to agree: Dillion Brooks is a perfect FIBA player: Sets screen, defends, uses his fouls wisely and let the other player feels the foul, and hits the open jumper.

SGA choking. Good thing RJ is clutch.

Canada will be much better with Clarke, Sharpe and Boucher. Too bad these 3 guys are missing, not to mention Wiggins. Could compete for Gold if they go full strength.

Jamal = Pang NBA lang.

Jamal Having a hard time to compliment SGA

Meanwhile in 3x3 mens

USA finally won over france 21-19

Bye Spain! (?) Of maybe one of the best 3rd place teams?

[Silent Killer]

With canadians win, boomers is in the QF and spain is out..

[lem0nadi]

Why Spain did not just spend their timeout after SGA's 2nd FT so they can inbound the ball on their own court? Kinda weird decision to have a hail merry shot.

Spain is out already... Spain's daddy right now is Canada.. last year's World cup also Canada booted them out... I'm sure their FIBA rankings will go down.. Germany, Serbia or Canada will likely take 2nd ranked team after Olympics or whoever team will upset USA will take the top rank team in FIBA rankings

Sleepy Eyed RJ Barrett is feasting more thatn Murray. But Murray also played good in previous games. Their Big 4 ( SGA, RJ, Murray and Brooks) is solid. It's the center position that's iffy, and Dort is the perfect 6th as he could sub SGA, RJ, Murray or Brooks, and shutdown the other team's best perimeter scorer

they gambled on icing SGA by substituting players and calling a timeout before SGA freethrows. bad decision by Scariolo.
