My hot take. He’s been practicing lobs all summer getting ready to rule the league with Rudy and the boys. So of course he’s going to be lobbing it up in the World Cup.

What excites me is that Anthony Edwards has a really high shot at being the face of team of USA. He could very realistically be the best player on his team in these games and have an Olympic Melo like performance and that will really put him on the map.

I'm curious about the Spanish performance, on paper, they are a bad team but always overperformance. This time with Rubio and without Brown.

It's wild to look back at who was on the Select Team for the last Olympics.

I was just about to post why does Naz never get consideration. I think he would be great in FIBA ball and he would be high on my list of candidates. US really needs centers.
