Full List

GSW management with a dick move for prohibiting Andrew Wiggins to play for Canada this Olympics. Unusual because HC Steve Kerr and Steph will be active this summer for Team USA. There must be conflict of interest somewhere, and this is after GSW dangled him as trade bait for Zach Lavine.

Men's

Gold - USA
Silver - France
Bronze - Canada


Women's

Gold - USA

I want France to upset USA in the Gold Medal Game and for Embid to be embarrassed in that game.

[Joe Yabuki]

for some reason im not too convinced on the US to take the championship. if they still play the same iso ball as the world cup, theyre in for a tough tournament

I think team USA, is old and that might be a detriment despite the star names. It’ll be interesting if they can keep up with the youth

[yogaflame]

USA is still the big favorite but we shall see. Basketball today is unpredictable.
