Mixed feelings on this. On one hand I love the confidence and the media needs to terms with the fact that LeBron, KD and Steph aren’t what they once were. How many playoff games did those 3 win this year? On the other hand Ant does a lot of talking for a guy who hasn’t won much. Does this lead to some in fighting on the team? It likely doesn’t matter and we win gold regardless but fun little story to watch unfold.


I’m a garbage human being, but I wouldn’t mind them not winning gold just to add insult to injury on Embiid not being able to win anything. Tatum and Jrue already got theirs.


Man I thought I was petty :lol: It's weird that Embiid is ring chasing the olympics. I guess he sees the juggernaut Celtics in his conference and realizes he's not getting an NBA ring so better starrt chasing olympic ones.

So basically he was far away but not too far away to know Jrue never posted anyone up, because that would definitely signal PP was guarding Jrue lol.

Personal opinion (partly influenced by Sixer disdain) is that Embiid is going to struggle in the Olympics compared to his NBA effectiveness. Foul-baiting isn't going to work with FIBA refs. Does he even have FIBA experience? Bam could easily see the minutes down the stretch of close games especially in the medal rounds, due to his defense, especially on the perimeter, and fitness.

Inferior opposing bigs will make Embiid look good.

Flagg's agent gonna call all the other teams, "don't draft Flagg. He's only suiting up for the Celtics. He's gonna smear poop in your locker room and won't shower the whole year if you force him to play."
