Team USA Basketball 2024

Feels like Embiid is playing pretty poorly. I get the sense that he?s someone whose game doesn?t translate as well without high reps and touches. Doesn?t play as well with more talent around him, which makes the PG addition interesting as a fit.

[Who]

Man, Embiid and LeBron are slow on D. Steph and D Book are lightweight defenders. Jrue is the only guy playing strong D.

[Who]

Those Team USA jerseys remind me of LeBron's "White Hot" Miami Heat jerseys.

Weird lineup and selfishly kinda hate all the minutes it appears jrue is going to be playing this summer

[jpotter33]

For as good as Lebron still is, you can tell his age out there and how much he's slowing down. The difference in athleticism between the two groups is striking, and it'll likely only get worse with KD coming back.

Grant Hill was fantastic in those 1996 Olympics.

That team was incredible. Unfortunately, they?ll always fly under radar because of ?92.

Shaq, Hakeem, & David Robinson is a ridiculous C lineup.

Holy hell Embiid

[Who]

Embiid looks like he is about to have a Tim Duncan like FIBA experience where the refs drive him nuts and he just cannot adapt to FIBA rules.

[Surferdad]

Now he?s fouled out. Team better off without him.

How did JT do in the first half?

Yeah, LeBron shouldn't be starting. I would go with Tatum and Durant. Durant is awesome in FIBA. Tatum is very good as well. Both big time shooters and tough matchups with their size & length.

As I was thinking that my mind began to drift towards Jaylen Brown ... I think Jaylen & Tatum would the best forward combination for Team USA with their combination of defensive quickness, rebounding, outside shooting and versatile scoring.

ROFL Embiid fouls out with 4 min to go in the 3rd quarter

Well, they don't call nearly as much of the foul-baiting stuff in FIBA, which clearly hurts his game.

[Who]

"Who is that fat guy?"

It was Ant. That jersey is not flattering for Ant.

[jpotter33]

Heck of a move and pass to AD by Tatum for the and-one.
