Lebron is the arguably the best player to ever play the game, lol. And for team USA it’s a guard’s game not a big man’s game.

So where did the group stage take place? Because Wade said he's headed to Paris. It was obviously in France but i guess not Paris.

Are you kidding me?

He's one of my most liked players in the league. Dude is a troll and he will dominate you and taunt you back. He's exactly the kind of personality you need to make the game more entertaining.


Judging by the daily threads most fans agree. He has replaced LeBron as the most hated player and I love it.

Holding the ball with the clock winding down on of PR's guys tried a run up steal on the ball so Embiid shook him and put up....an air ball.

He just held the ball at the end and was egging on the crowd as they boo’d. It was all in good fun and you just have to laugh. It is very embiid though to play to the crowd when he finally had an okay game after being pretty bad earlier.
