***Team USA Basketball Official Thread***

Lebron, KD, Steph, AD, Tatum, Ant etc. First game tomorrow vs Joker and Serbia

Lebron has been the best player on the team in exhibition games. Games were a little too close but we shall see how they look now that it matters

Watching France vs Brazil rn Wemby is gonna be so insane lol

And somehow the conversation shifted to how the Lakers are doing Lebron dirty. Like Lebron should be entitled to stack the deck with several all stars on the Lakers. LMAO

Meanwhile guys like Luka, Jokic, Shai etc. made deeper playoff runs than Lebron with no all stars on their teams.

Lebron got to the WCF just two years ago, something SGA hasn’t done

Also Lebron literally won with Kyrie, something Luka wasn’t able to do, lol

Kyrie, Murray, and Chet are All Star level players breh

But it is concerning for the Lakers that both Bron and AD are the best Team USA players on the team and they can’t build a competent roster.

I think they will cover the spread all the way until the medal games tho. With KD back

Prime Kyrie averaged 30 in the finals + Kevin Love as a 3rd option. Kyrie was awful against Boston and mavs 3rd option is PJ Washington. Stop it.

AD is arguably top 10 in the league, top 3 on the defensive end. None of the players I've mentioned have that kind of help.

If Lebron needs to stack the deck every time to contend, maybe he's just not that good.

None of those players are better 2nd options than AD. Stop it.

Time to expose how big of a retard you are

2016 Finals Kevin Love: Average 8 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist

2024 Finals PJ Washington: Average 11 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist

You do know Lebron and AD took out a full strength Joker/Murray/MPJ in 2020 right?

Point still stands, none of the players i've mentioned have a 2nd option anywhere near as good as AD, and they still managed to go further in the playoffs than LeBum this season.

If the Lakers were actually allowed to draft nba level talent, instead of being forced to draft LeClown's scrub son, maybe Lakers would go deeper into the playoffs too.

Yeah Denver has been a better team than the one headed by a 40 year old Lebron lol

watched from beginning to end, solid performance from team USA against a very good team, serbia didnt play bad but once the shots stopped falling they kept jacking them up instead of attacking the rim. pretty silly.

It was pretty disrespectful to not play Tatum.. I get it that White and Jrue are great role players, but you can’t have them play the amount of minutes they did and not give any to Tatum

I see the argument that he plays the same role as Lebron and KD and they were both on fire so how can you bench him

But still I agree. It was a blowout win. You gotta let these guys at least get time. Tatum in 2016 had a top 10 olympic run, scoring more than lebron or MJ ev er has, it's not like he's trash

I think this is 100% Steve Kerr fukkery, he's a major ****** and would do something like this to be petty

"In 31 minutes with Jokic on the court: Serbia 81, USA 81. In just NINE minutes without Jokic on the court: USA 29, Serbia 3."


Truly the undisputed best in the world right now, basically playing by himself against the best in the world and holding his own.

LeBubble would never ever play for his country if his teammates were a bunch of journeyman.

This stat was mostly about Embiid honestly.. he was the only US player in the negative in +/-

He got worked by Jokic early, then AD and Bam held him under control afterwards

Damn some black guy must have absolutely ravaged your wife for the hard on you have for Lebron lol

Sloppy af win today. Good games from Bam, White and KD. Absolutely horrible game from Steph lol 1/9 shooting and horrible on defense. Kerr should have giving Haliburton more time

The only reason LeSwept is back on the olympic team, is because he has fully accepted the fact he won't ever come close to another nba championship.

That's why he's chasing these lesser trophies like the in season tournament and olympic gold, but those won't get him any closer to Jordan.

Blowing out 3rd world countries as a heavy favorite won't do anything for his legacy, no matter how much propaganda LeBum's cheerleaders try to spread.
