  1. Players will be doing what Lebron is doing more and more because PEDs are getting better and better…

  2. If I was an NBA scout, I would be trying to recruit some of these players from other Olympic teams to come play in the NBA.

  3. Short answer: The NBA wanted to grow the international game, other countries have national teams and prepare them to play us so they're also good and their talent makes its way over to the NBA. A truly global games means good players will be found outside the US.

  4. Because they’re playing other professional basketball players? Tf? Japan beat USA in football not that long ago? They went 5-0 is that not good enough? Lmao

  5. A healthy piece of humble pie would do wonders for the redeem team. They have all the talent in the world but even Rivers make it seem like country’s like Germany or Serbia don’t invest millions of their respective currencies in to developing young talent. Remember when Luca said: „it’s easy to score in the NBA“?
    A LOT of these international leagues are super competitive and focused on defense. Ball movement is just another aspect that has been overlooked in todays NBA coaching in my option. 5 men playing defense is another.

  6. NBA guys are turning into a bunch of selfish aau players. They don’t know how to really play team ball. Overseas they all play team ball

  7. 0 defensive effort from most players, they don't care enough. It's all about the money, and they have leflop as their "leader"..

  8. The squad is made up of old men past their primes. We also have too many selfish players on the team. They’re too focused on being the number one option rather than doing what’s best for the squad to win games.

  9. We will get you. No Gold for the Old men "Avengers". No excuses in the future, tat you didnt send your best. But, i hear a lot of excuses that Steve Kerr is not the right coach. The best coach in NBA by far

  10. These players have consistently proven that FIBA basketball trumps the garbage game of the NBA.

    Team USA should be ashamed. We literally sent the super soldiers & are limping across the battlefield. The lack of focus, intensity, & defensive consistency is honestly embarrassing. We have completely lowered the standards of US basketball.

  11. The redeem team actually practiced the year before to build chemistry this team just was out together a few weeks before

  12. We see it happen in the NBA all the time, you can't just put stars on a team and expect to win. Ask the suns

  13. Are there even any white players on the US team?
    There's your problem and Mac McClung "isn't good enough" to play in the NBA?
    Give me a friggin break. I'm sick of these nit wits that can't do a damn thing in life except play a sport.

  14. the US mens team are going to lose and i can't wait. I hope the womens team loses too. i'm American too and i know i'm not the only one that wants to see this happen.

  15. Oh stop. Would all these ancient superstars have volunteered for the Olympics if it was in Finland? Korea? Ireland? No way. They all want a free summer trip to France. They want to drink wine (they have all become wine lovers the last few years) and go shopping at LV. Yeah they will win but that’s secondary to the piss up in Lille and Paris.

  16. There 125 international players in the nba, about 1/5 plus other countries have more pride playing for their countries. Our stars are coddled since the 8th grade.
