I came to realization watching this that Jokic will never have a single teammate in his prime that is a proven prime star/superstar without playing with him. Murray is a bum

Just found this on Steve Nash wikipedia page on his Canada career:
>At the 1999 Tournament of the Americas, Nash led Canada to the silver medal, qualifying the team for the Olympics for the first time in 12 years; he was named tournament MVP.[8] Nash captained Canada at the 2000 Sydney Olympics.[98] He led Canada to win their round robin group with a victory over Spain and a stunning 83–75 win over favoured Yugoslavia when he scored 26 points with eight rebounds and eight assists. Canada was eliminated in the quarterfinals with a five-point loss to France and Nash left the court in tears. Nash expressed disappointment with the result, saying “It hurts a lot. I feel like I let everybody down. We could have been in the championship game. We were good enough.”[99] Nevertheless, he did see a possible silver lining, saying “Hopefully kids [in Canada] will be inspired to play … that’s what I really hope.”[99] A victory in its final game of the tournament, a placement game against Russia, enabled Canada to salvage seventh place. Nash’s Olympic performance propelled him to stardom in Canada, and he finished fifth in voting for the 2000 Lionel Conacher Award, which is handed out to the Canadian male athlete of the year.[100]
>Nash again led Team Canada during qualifying for the 2004 Summer Olympics at the FIBA Americas Olympic Qualifying Tournament in San Juan, Puerto Rico. He led the tournament in assists and was named tournament MVP,[101][102] but Canada finished fourth, missing out on the three Olympic spots available. That was the last time Nash played for Canada; he was reportedly upset about the firing of head coach Jay Triano in 2004.[103] In December 2007, he said, “In my mind right now, I’m not going to play for Canada any more.”[104]

Canadians are just happy they made it but somehow the game thread was just filled with toxic haters hoping Canada fails, lmao.

We’ve come so damn far since then. It really was just Nash and the boys. Now it’s a fucking legit squad 🇨🇦

Canada has lost games in qualifiers that they had no business losing. Actually sad that it took this long but now we have a sick squad and we can’t settle for anything less than a medal.

2000 feels like 12 years ago, not 24 dang years ago.
