USA Basketball is in Trouble Now



USA Basketball is in Trouble Now

United States won gold at the 2024 Olympics but it wasn’t easy. This is a look at how tough their run ended up and who will be on the US going forward when France might finally have what it takes to win it all.

  1. Dude a book hater lol it’s no way u just watched the Olympics & don’t mention book as one of the guys who will step up & make shots book never been afraid to take the last shot idk what book did to you but get that hate out of your blood book was literally better than ant in this Olympic run and was the one closing out the games alongside 1st ballot hall of famers for a reason 🥱 hater

  2. saying usa is fucked for 2028 just because their big three will prolly won't be here and that france will have god like roster is also a huge CAP cuz serbia and france prooved that it's still possible to reach this "legendary" team (even though they lost)
    also next olympics usa will get the country buff

  3. In 4 years the US might have new young rising stars and cooper Flagg might play and curry might retire after 2028 and KD might retire at 40 and it might be the same team except lebron gone and Jaylen Brunson and JB playing

  4. I git two thoughts about this:
    1. We saw at the 2023 WC that the US needs real centers to win, Banchero, Edwards and co got bullied in those games, but it feels like the US doesnt have superstar Bigs by 2028 (altho its 4 years for now, so much can happen)
    2. 2028 olympics will be in LA, so USAB will have home court, that will be insanly hard for other nations

  5. ''Look at Jokic hes is fat, he is not going to be a problem in 4 years'' is just stupid. Stop it, get some help.

  6. With how good Brandon Miller was his first season, I think he'll take one of those wing spots honestly, unless he gets injured or doesn't make a big leap in the next year or two. Guy has that drive to win as well.

  7. U have no idea of european Basketball, do your homework, serbia is in the under 16, 18, 21 a real force, there will be come a lot of good players, playing together since young age. Thats the difference US Won Not with good defence or good Plays, they Won because curry. Without jokic serbien Team made it to the World championship final, also jokic hat a bad day against us. France sind t Play well also, die final was the badest game of us they threw the Ball away, missed a Lot gut still France was no threat.

  8. If any country of the World would've won instead of the US, the entire population would've passionately celebrated outside, howewver when it comes to America, you guys celebrate just your internal championships and almost never the international ones, which is very strange for me.

  9. Very foolish to snub Jaylen Brown twice. He’s a pressure player, rather have him than the other Celtics.

  10. Why in trouble? It was very close at the FIBA world cup, it was very close now. LBJ, Curry and KD had a big men rotation of Embiid, AD and Bam, while Brunson, Haliburton and Edwards had to work with JJJr, Kessler and Portis. Without Curry's miracle shots, we would be talking about what a mistake it was to let the old men take over.

  11. 2028 roster
    PG: Ja Morant, Jalen Brunson, Tyrese maxey
    SG: Anthony Edwards, Devin booker
    SF: Scottie Barnes, Jayson Tatum
    PF: Paolo banchero, Cooper Flagg or Zion Williamson
    C: Derick lively II, Chet holmgren, Bam Adebayo

  12. France??? Did you even watch any games besides the ones with the USA? Now, I seriously doubt your basketball knowledge.

  13. I have full respect to USA team but USA have only black American player vs white Serbian player. I know that black player are genetical superior for sport like basketball and you must consider that small country bellow 7 million people play basketball against best of the best in country with 350 million people.

  14. If you think France is a bigger thret to USA than Serbia.I am sorry but you dont know enything about basketball(sry for bad english)

  15. Imagine Bronny developing in to a superstar in these 4 years and leading USA to a win in LA28. Peak Hollywood.

  16. This same Serbia team will be there, Jokić is the oldest and he'll be 33 then. Add Topić for a starting PG. How stupid of you to expect LBJ to play in 44 and nobody in Serbia at less then 33.

  17. Yes! The moment USA took the gold, the next thing i did is to look for the next USA roster for the next olympic, this will be tough for USA.

  18. 4 years are a long time, there will be other superstars coming up within this time

  19. I actually hate this guy and his terrible Jim Carrey Impersonation. I’m from Toronto Canada and even I know America will never lose If they don’t want to 😂

  20. i can guarantee that serbia will absolutely be a threat going into the '28 olympics even with an aged jokic he will still be a dominant force 4 years from now

  21. USA is spoiled the last 20 years and thats okay! with Lebron/Melo/Bosh/Wade/Kobe/KD/Steph. But the next 8 years, they wont win World Cups and the Olympics, the "golden era" of USA is done. France has maximum potential comming up with a lot of 7 footers who can spread the floor. Canada is still there. Serbia is still around. And the NBA will be dominated by Euro's this upcomming years. And it is already happening with Luka, Giannis, Jokic, Wemby…
