  1. Why is this big deal? The important thing is he is part of the team. If they won the gold, he won the gold. All he need to do is always be ready, so when his time comes he go 100%. Olympics is a country achievement its not like NBA or what so ever.

  2. Windhorst takes himself way too seriously, Bontemps is needed even with so many people getting mad at him to take windy down a few pegs.

  3. I hope Tatum sits at home for 2028 after their Goats refused to go to Tokyo and now this disrespect, all the best to the future

  4. Tatum was always going to lose minutes when Durant came back! Durant is still a more valuable player,esp. internationally!

  5. I think the reason Serbia WON'T beat the US is as Bontemps said–the US is not going to take them lightly. Maybe if they beat them 6 times in a row, they might let up, but certainly not once they're in a medal round. I agree Serbia IS their most legit threat… but they're a known in that regard. If Serbia had the athleticism and 3-making of South Sudan, THEN the US might be in trouble.

  6. The disrespect for the german team is really funny.
    But hey, if we'll see in the final, how much of a threat they can be…

  7. For me the game VS Serbia proved 2 things : 1st – KD is the best scorer ever and if he gets going game is over ; 2nd – Embiid is absolutely garbage and it shows why he chose US & not France – with USA he wont play good and still win while with the french he will be expected to be the top guy (which he is not and will never be). If Kerr was a proper HC Bam or AD would be starting, the other will come off the bench while Joel will warm the bench instead of Tyrese or JT

  8. I think Durant was confident. He's done this before–come back from WAY longer injuries and been almost instantly great. Never seen anyone do it like he has.

  9. I think Barkley spoke most sensibly about this Tatum thing. The idea there aren't enough minutes? And I think Barkley can speak from experience.
