If they don’t send most of their best this summer it could definitely be shenanigans in Paris

Crazy Dray couldn't even help even if he beats the hell out of Kerr and the whole team. He'd rather get himself ejected than deal with the embarrassment.

Don’t see any reason why at the very least Tatum/Book/Bam won’t be on the Oly team. And they’d all help immensely.
KD and Steve Curry should as well. One last hurrah.
That’s your starting 5 right there.
Would love if AD played, but I feel like he won’t.

I know bro but he was *** on both ends against decent teams. He Cam J and ingram were the major disappointments . His just isn’t magnified cause he couldn’t play as much but he really didn’t deserve too.
Montenegro and Lithuania he couldnt properly defend the post entry. He was also flat footed on switches and got bullied by the big guys. That short stint against JVal was enough for kerr probably. Fiba is tough on young bigs cause they get it in tight spaces . Travels are called and it’s physical
Then offensively his touch on the short rolls were bad.

Im sick of losing this tournament. They gotta commit. Who cares if they dont like tryouts. Kobe lebron melo wade all made multi year commitments. If they can im not tryna hear why these news guys who dont like to compete cant.

Only lebron and Anthony played in more than 1 non Olympic fiba tournament
It isn’t really desirable to play in these qualifying tournaments, especially more than one time especially when the Olympics are the following year

Kobe even committed himself to the 2008 Olympics after that poor 2004 showing from certain goat.

People are going to think that though until they start winning. But real fans know that this is the "B"/"C" team.

NBA World Title >> Olympic glory >>>>> FIBA regional tournament bragging rights.
The Noah Lyles trolling is out of hand in the grand scheme but dude is having his moment now. Building up some great press run up to the real prize in ‘24 if he has any type of persona or a good impersonation of one. He’s already legit in his game.
Bron ain’t saving anything for Team USA after 21 years of professional service and still chasing that 5th.

If the best players in the world are all in the NBA, the only national team composed of nothing but NBA players should be enough to take it home though no?

But what you said was false that’s all I’m saying
Ask Kobe and Wade why they only played in one of these qualifiers then

They were much better with Jrue on the floor.
