Can Lebron not embarrass the entire country, just the Lakers?

Team USA should refuse to take the podium and forfeit the medal for keeping it close against Yabusele and Fournier.

Kerr wins the gold while avoiding further criticism on not playing Tatum with the token minutes today. He got away with it again.

Curry is maybe top 5 all time. Hate to put him up there because he isn’t a defender but man… That dude is a monster.

Stephen saves Steven. This must be what it feels like to be a Dubs fan lol.


Honestly though Steph is a ridiculous tough shot maker.

Let’s go Team USA!!! Last time Steph, KD, Lebron sharing the court - Tatum will get his turn. Respect to rest of the world, going to be some exciting battles in the upcoming Olympics

LeBron's constant complaining to the officials was bush league.

As for the gold medal, it was an NBA Western conference win. The Eastern conference didn't have much to do with it, thanks to Kerr's substitution patterns.

kinda crazy how this summer's team didn't dominate more than the 2020 team with Javale McGee, Keldon Johnson, and Zach Lavine.

It's interesting that the core players were Steph, LeBron+AD, KD+Booker - from 3 teams who had horribly disappointing seasons.

Jrue was really the 6th core guy. I would have loved to see a Tatum lead the team but I'm happy to see 3 of our guys get a gold to go with the ring, to watch some thrilling games, and even see "old friends" like Yabusele shine.
