    USA is becoming the England of basketball.

    Greatest domestic league in the world. Shit at the world cup.

    Dillon Brooks just sent you to the 4th place shadowrealm, USA the world champion frauds.

  3. Tardigrada1777

    Canada is now the World Champions of North America!!!

  4. TheDeadman95

    Most points allowed by USA in Mundobasket history:

    – 110 to Lithuania
    – 113 to Germany
    – 127 to Canada

    **All in this year’s World Cup.**

    There has to be some major questions for Kerr and the entire federation. This is not the first time USA are bad in the World Cups, but it’s the first time they are so abysmal on defense.

    WHAT THE FUCK IS A MILE🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

    Alot of people are going to clown the USA players over this tournament, but not nearly enough critique is being given on how horrible Kerr’s coaching has been. Steve Kerr playing four guards and a wing in OT sums up his first foray into Team USA coaching quite well.

  7. Imagine watching Dillon Brooks put up 40 on you, then have the dagger be from RJ fucking Barrett

  8. meengine

    Where were you when the team USA uses extra 5mins just to embarrass themselves even harder

  9. achyutthegoat

    Dillon Brooks cooking team USA is America’s 9/11.

  10. LionsFan42000

    Dillon brooks is team usa father.

    Dropped 39 points like wtf 🤣🤣🤣

  11. sevelev711

    Team USA giving up 127 points in 45 minutes is the surest sign that they’re a team full of NBA players. If I were on Team USA, I would’ve tried to get more than exactly one stop in overtime.

    To not even place 3rd, the world is ready to compete at the Olympics

    Edey standing around like the guy who did nothing but got an A on a group project.

  16. cyberpimpin

    So glad Canada won. The USA has been awful, Branson, Edwards, Reaves been playing hero ball entire game, awful game from USA

  17. mr_purrfect

    RIP the Josh Hart era of playing center for USA basketball.

    2023-2023

    1 rebound in 22 minutes against Canada.

    What was Kerr thinking…

  18. allhailbarea

    A great moment for Cananda and therefore…

    I’ve just witnessed a Filipino crowd cheer for Dillon Brooks making a shot over Austin Reaves, and then give Brooks MVP chants. I have truly seen it all

    ++ All time IG caption for SGA incoming

    Dillon Brooks, **M**ost **V**illainous **P**layer comes through fucking big time

  23. AzureP5A

    Everybody dogpiling on Kerr for the defense when that was Spo & Ty Lue’s responsibility…

    Y’all can blame him for the godawful team construction though.

    [Kerr is primarily responsible for the offense and Spo/Ty Lue is responsible for handling the defense. Haven’t seen any redditors placing blame on Spo/Lue though lmao](https://theathletic.com/4790624/2023/08/21/team-usa-coaching-staff-kerr-spoelstra-lue-few/)

    > Lue and Spoelstra both are known for crafting elite defensive strategy in the NBA, whereas Kerr’s complex motion offense for the Warriors helped revolutionize the sport. Kerr is implementing the basic, simpler actions the Warriors use on offense into Team USA.

    >Lue and Spoelstra both add their wrinkles on offense, but that side of the ball is more Kerr’s responsibility. While the American team was in Malaga, Spain, Spoelstra missed a week of Team USA’s world tour to be at the Naismith Hall of Fame ceremony, and in that time, Lue emerged as the chief architect of the defense.

    USA is now obligated to take Drake

  25. firsttimepostuh

    Congrats to the US. 4th place is a great step forward after finishing 7th at the last World Cup. Call me crazy but I don’t think it’s completely out of the question to say they could medal in 2027.

  26. Brooks is fucking MVP. What a redemption! He was the key in the Olympic qualifying game as well. Well deserved even though SGA carried our entire offense. Brooks brought the secondary offense and was everywhere game on D.

  27. RhythmOwnz

    You know you constructed a horrible team when Dillon Brooks drops 39 fucking points lol

  28. PierroElLoco

    Maybe the US should stop looking down on other countries, and start proving more constantly that they are the best

  29. drochma

    That’s really cool that coaches and staff get medals too, that doesn’t happen in the Olympics

  30. Cul_what

    USA really thought Canada was just their top hat but USA was really Canada’s ass this whole time

  31. burgerpatrol

    The worst thing that could happen for USA is letting Dillon Brooks, who is much more known for his good defense and crazy in game antics, drop 39 points on them.

    Congrats, Canada! Eh!
