The Official NBA Season Thread: I’m like Jayson Tatum in the Olympics I'm not playing

[Coupé It]

 

[Maximus Meridius]

The difference is the level of talent Team USA is competing against. I saw a stat a couple of days ago that said the 92 Dream Team played against a total of 5 NBA players in the Olympics and in 2024 Team USA will play against 60 NBA players. Heck, 11 of the 12 players on Canada's roster alone are in the NBA. It's a whole new world

I agree. It's also a lack of focus and obvious flaws that a lot of these younger players have.

 

[WASHED KING]

I just see these lists of people not putting Lebron in their top 10, but these last 2 team USA games with the game on the line look who is still the man winning these games.

LeBron has been going for 20 years with no breaks (and multiple off-season obligations with Team USA in 2004, '06., 07, '08, '12, '24) except for a couple injuries. He dragged a garbage Cavs squad to the finals in 2007 (a sweep, but much closer than people remember), made eight finals in a row with Miami and Cleveland, won three, including beating the the best regular season team of all time. I remember him being on the cover of ESPN Magazine in high school. I'm only nine months older than him. Dude has been in my life forever. I think he's had the best career of all time (not necessarily the best player), based on consistency and totality of his career. And, now, he's the alpha at age 39 on Team USA, looking for a third gold medal. It's absurd.

Putting the longevity into perspective through presidential administrations will never not be insane



He was drafted during Dubya's 1st term and is about to still be doing it at the highest level during Kamala's 1st or 45's 2nd term

I’ve been taking a hiatus.

But my shirt is fully off. Bron is easily the best player we’ve ever seen and it’s not even close.

Y'all already know the fit for these....

Damn. Best career of all time is hard to argue. Never really thought of it like that

That’s like every young player in any sport

This the same man who had to sleep in the car with his pops and was abandoned by his mother. Gilbert is an imbecile to the 25th power. Word to John Witherspoon

KD should be mad they left him outta this, this ad is fire.

Yeah I just heard Shannon and Ocho saying KD's agent was mad about Lebron being the flag bearer and KD mad about some nike ad so I looked it up. They even got Giannis in it.

 

[pmatic]

Nothing against Bron, but KD probably should've been the feature USA player. He's been the program's best player. But with the calf injury and Bron's play the last two games, Nike lucked out.

This move seems....temporary
