This US team is about as loaded as any in history.

They have the best shooter in the history of basketball.

They have arguably the best player in the history of basketball even if he is long on the tooth (I think Jordan was better but in this setting it might be better to have the all around game of LeBron since there are plenty of scorers)

When Durant is healthy and on he is about as good as anyone who ever played (the moments that I have watched of these Olympics, he has been on)

Healthy AD is a nightmare matchup for everyone.

Ant is the young MJ (I think he is leading the team in scoring)

Then you have two guys from the NBA champs. (Tatum and White)

Then there's bam, booker, and holiday who all seem to know their roles and fit nicely.

Embiid is the only one who I have seen struggle/not fit in great.

Every team is beatable but it would be a huge upset for team USA to lose to anyone.

Go easy on the coffee, Fish..
 
Both teams shoot horribly this game.
Both teams get destroyed by team USA if they shoot like that.

And these guys are motivated. After Fiba, lebron, durant, steph immediately committed. Sending b-team to Fiba was hilarious.

LeBron still remembers 2004. I’m just saying. . . There’s a reason there was a Redeem Team (which is a helluva documentary btw) and he sure doesn’t want his last one to be remembered like that.

What the hell was wrong with lyles?

Tebogo finished the race and wasn't even breathing hard.

It looked like lyles literally might die. He laid on the ground forever, then tried to get up and stumbled for a few steps and fell back down gasping. He looked like he had just ran like 30 miles or something. He was the only one behaving in that way.

There’s a part of me that felt sorry for him…

Another part is like “is that all an act to save face?”

I mean did you see the entrance? He acted like he’d already won.. lol..
 
If Team USA is playing Embiid I dont really see how you cant play Gobert more than he has played the last two games. You arent going to be Team USA without Gobert. You probably arent beating them with Gobert either, but I dont see how it's possible without him.
