Ok actually I am going to disagree with him... and he's only 50% more qualified than me to have his opinion.
No offense to USA of course, but for any team other than USA, that may be the case. It's only team USA where it is disappointing if you finish other than gold.
So for USA, it is not Gold Medals > NBA Championships when you are the clear cut favorite to win gold.

Yep I’d bet you anything Jokic would trade his nba title for the gold medal for Serbia. He’s not the only one either.

Jokic's celebration for Bronze is nowhere near his celebration when the Nuggets won the chip

Re: USA Basketball Team
What’s the USA roster look like in 28’?
This is how old the current roster will be in 28’. I left out the old guys and the hobbled ones. It’s gonna be a complete makeover with the old guard aging out all at once.
JT - 30
Bam - 31
Booker - 32
Halliburton - 28
Ant - 27
White - 34
JB gotta get the nod and I’m sure Maxey will be in the mix. Chet. 4 years of drafts will have some possibilities. Definitely need front court players.

Wembanyama ain't no joke.
But the U.S. usually has the Best Cast of Players 1-12.
