Simmons is never going to play for the Boomers

He talks the talk, but never walks the walk

You could tell me that 3/4th of these names are the dudes I played against in the YMCA league over the winter and I'd believe you

Nah that team sucks. They would have lost Patty (International GOAT) Mills.

8 of them play in the NBA and the 9th was just in the March Madness Final Four.

Edit: Wait, I forgot. Landale is also in the NBA now. He's with the Rockets. So, you had 9 NBAers in there and one Duke starter.

No guarantee FIBA is going to allow Kyrie to play for them. Especially now coming off an injury. But you missed Dyson's younger brother, Dash, who is looking like another lotto pick in 2026. And Rocco Zikarsky, 7'3 center.

Mills was pretty over-rated his last few national team runs, imo. Glad to see new guys getting a go.

I really don’t think the Boomers want him either. He made overtures about playing at Paris and the team basically told him no thanks.

How would that team fare against the NBA's boomers?

Magic Johnson
Michael Jordan
Larry Bird
Kevin McHale
KAJ
Dennis Rodman
Charles Barkley

To make it fair for the Aussie Boomers lets assume we're talking about the NBA boomer team now, that's why Moses Malone isn't on the list

Didn't Kyrie pick team USA in the past over the Boomers? I thought once he chose he couldn't change.

Showing your ignorance yet again. Do you ever post something normal?

They’re all in the NBA aside from Proctor who just played in the final four and will be drafted this year.

Impressive that such a small nation can produce so much basketball talent. The sports only seems to be getting more popular as well, so likely great things to come from the Aussies in the future.

As you follow my posts on another thread simultaneously. I couldn't tell you one post you've ever made. I think you should block me since it bothers you. I wouldn't notice :lol:

Think by 2028 Rocco will be the starting 5. Dash Daniels we will get a look at next year in the NBL so he's one to watch. If we are talking about 2028 Olympics Jock will be 32 by then and Kyrie 36? Think Will Magnay puts a lot of pressure on Jock for a BU 5 spot.
Not sure who else, but I doubt Simmons is even good enough by then. Exum hopefully his body holds up as he moves into his 30s.
Josh Green has a ways to go, but hopefully he can work on his consistency from outside and should be hitting his prime by then.

Easy to remember bad posters like you and Eyeatoma. Don’t contribute anything to the board
