Big break for France. That should have been US ball, then the questionable foul call.

He's the teams leading scorer, playing off the bench. What exactly do you think his job on the team is?

Not going 1 on 5 three possessions in a row. Move the ball and get a better shot

Ben Wallace had insane shoulders, this dude has a wide base. He looks like he plays offensive line.
