I don’t know about what we’ve been seeing.

Honestly might be better to take the Ls and save Lebron for when it counts in the elimination round.

The team looks deferential with him on the floor, and is he going to be worn out by the medal round?

LBJ still the best US player by a solid mile
So many people who attain the heights of power in this culture—celebrities, for instance—have to make a show of false humility and modesty, as if they got as far as they did by accident and not by ego or ambition.

It's been awesome to watch Lebron turn it on, but also sobering to see the USA requiring it to eke out close wins.

Somebody needs to tell Curry these games don't matter cause he's stinking it up like it's a close playoff game.

This dude can adapt his game to any type of competition lmao.
Using old man bully ball now against a much more physical FIBA competition is incredible.

Absolutely horrific, horrific, horrific shot selection from your PG. His awful decision making killed his team.

I honestly think the ball is throwing him off, everyone says it's a little more slick because of the painted parts.
