If Kobe where alive he would be pis*** that the US is 2nd in points in the World rankings yeah you heard me Spain 🇪🇸 is first and it’s thanks to this C teams going to the World Cup and USA losing some world cups and winning the Olympics. They need to win back the 1st in the rankings and as the team is constructed It doesn’t look like they’re going to win ❤
I think Schroder was the only player on Germany that finished the game with a negative +/-. He had a number of really bad turnovers.
Go MAGIC 💯💯
Great show guys! Would have enjoyed Jonathan's thoughts, but, hey… I'm glad he's able to exit work for a while and enjoy his family. Only two 'attaboys' instead of three this time 🙂.
You guys nicely characterized the path Paolo likely took to end up with team USA. IMHO, for Paolo, winning is just as much a "built-in" part of him as his blood type. I suspect the initial novelty of playing for team Italy eventually gave way to raw instinct. One thing he knows to his core is that "winning that's worth it" is a team effort. He plays basketball to win – not for his own sake, so, Team USA was the obvious choice in the end.
I liked Producer Kevin's audible. I think of Miami more like a loose manhole cover than a speed bump. They were obviously "ajar" last season, but, this year the Magic will simply run over them and put them back in place.
Go Magic!
Germany had a roster of 18 guys. 12 guys are needed for the Cup. Olinde, Mattisseck, Sengfelder and Bottermann already will not play. The decision for two more players which will not participate will be done anytime soon.
This donation stuff to De DeSantis is the kiss of death for this franchise.
Nobody wants to play for the Magic anymore.
The people don't want to see Magic games anymore.
People giving back their tickets.
The result of all this will be a relocation to another city.
Wagner is ready to become him and be a all star
With this donation stuff nobody wants to play for the Magic anymore.
Also people won't go to Magic games anymore.
Result of this will be that the team will be sold and relocated.
