2024 Olympic BASKETBALL Thread (pt.6: USA Men & Women Win Gold)

[California Gold]

Lebron needs 43p 19r 12a to catch up.
He will not but he will have big scoring game since USA is winning it by 30 and he is here for that MVP.
It is funny that he will win it even though they could win gold without him.

I don’t think anyone on Team USA cares. Also no one player is going to stand out for a team when they have so much talent. Between limited minutes and one basketball that’s not how this team maximizes their ability to win if one guy is trying to get his. The US is unique in that regard compared to the rest of the field.

Obviously you care a lot you keep replying. Man never knew a small team like Serbia with like 2 nba players would bother you so much. I am just happy gold will go to the most talented team. This should cement the legacy of Lebron,KD and Curry in international play. They are all above Melo in my books. But serious you should relax and enjoy the game coming up

Am I on the Team USA roster or am I missing something?

Man never knew Serbia had players, coaches and fans that are cry like cucks after choking up a game they had and then making excuses about refs rather than their own play. Saying things like they deserved to be in the gold medal game just makes that whole contingent look less respectable - I didn't have an opinion on them before but I surely will moving forward. Can't wait for 2028 when we get to put them in their place on our soil.

Who cares what they think. They ain’t winning gold. Why should it bother you. Are you that thinned skinned?

This is a forum where we discuss sports - it seems to bother you that I have a valid opinion of a team of sore losers. I don't care if they're not winning gold - I will call a spade a spade when I see it. None of those guys on that roster deserve that respect. Cocky, arrogant when up big and then want to make excuses afterwards when they blew it and it ultimately shows disrespect to the opponent that beat you fair and square with these different quotes. As I said Karma's a bitch - can't wait for 2028.

Watching France vs Germany game back last night.. I think AD might be the most important player for this game. France perimeter shooting isn’t great, lots of smaller guys attacking the rim that AD should be able to shutdown

[chudak]

Embiid might confuse which basket he is shooting at which might give France a fighting chance

[chudak]

Jokic has the 5th triple double in Olympic history. LeBron got the 4th two days ago.

Jokic did pad his rebounds with all those missed tips.

Alexander Belov Soviet Union 23-14-10 (First ever to record a triple double in Olympics 1976)
LeBron James USA 16-12-10
LeBron James USA 11-14-12
Luka Doncic Slovenia 16-10-18 (2nd highest assist count in a game ever in Olympics)
Nikola Jokic Serbia 19-11-12

Jokic was also 1 assist away from a triple double vs both Australia and Puerto Rico

None of them? Jokic talk no ****. Not cocky nothing always shows respect. But who cares what they think. Just enjoy the gold medal game.

[homecourtloss]

France vs Germany were fairly called

Not as blatant as the Japan one maybe. LOL

Better than USA-Serbia lol

You can keep whining over and over again, but the refs had nothing to do with that game.

[chudak]

He can chose to whine if he wants to

Just like Embiid can chose to play for the US and you can boo him for whining but it is his right

Ironic how defensive you are. I didn't even mention Jokic specifically but clearly it bothers you because you're a Jokic fan that I'm calling out these choke artists when guys like Bogdanovic and their coach come out complaining about the refs and how they deserved to play for gold. None of this will take away from me enjoying the gold medal game. I'll keep calling out the imbeciles as the quotes come out because they don't deserve any respect IMO.

Old enough to realize how salty Serbia is.

[chudak]

Germany vs Serbia in 2023 was the world championship game, this is just olympics

Team USA took their souls so they have major copium now blaming the refs. We have a similar poster from Spain here on this forum that keeps crying about the refs as well. Maybe its a Euro thing after losing? Who knows.

This is why Europe is 2nd rate compared to the United States when it comes to sports in general.

You said none of them. In the English language that would include Jokic. Anyways it will be good to see Curry finally wining a gold today

It doesn't matter - it all looks bad on the whole team (including Jokic) when you have players and coaches who have no respect. Get over it.

[Inspektor1312]

I was wondering how the Serbian players would respond after that heartbreak vs the US, and kudos to them, a magnificent game for the bronze medal! Another medal for Team Serbia

I hope Jokic joins the NT again next year for the Eurobasket, it's time these guys finally bring home the gold.

You're lucky Yugoslavia is not a thing anymore or USA would never sniff a gold until Jokic and Luka are alive and playing.

[G R E Y]

Another thing I like about Jokic. His respect for the competitors, and respect for the game.
