Cavs Are Built Different for going 12-0

This will kill small market teams

It basically prevents 3 nba superstars joining teams it also makes it harder to trade for perennial French All-Stars so your team better have elite role players and a at least two super stars

sengun, cade, and some random guy on the blazers over scottie is crazy, the raptors disrespect is wild.

1) Roster contruction - didnt have reliable shooters - or anyone with international experience 2) Coaching selection - Brown didnt like young players 3) Coaching itself - Brown didnt correctly use the talent he was given

Stop hyping up Scottie Barnes lol He’s a The kinda guy that’s okay at everything and great at nothing. Mark my words he’ll never make an all star team for the rest of his career. I don’t even think he would be a starter on the better teams in the league.

I love Manu G❤

Just look at those players in the thumbnail, U need outside shooting. AI isnt that kinda player, and post up players are kinda useless because of the zone defense and they can guard the rim with an extra defender .its the guys fault who put that team together and Duncan isnt the greatest PF of all time. People are caught up in the Spurs success and wanna give all to Timmie. He was great, but he's not Barkley or Shaq in the paint. He's too soft of a player. Those other two dominated the paint and were the best player's on their fiba gold metal team.

they lost because the coaches didn’t use the babies on the team for just energy alone

duncan and iverson got exposed . plus they ain’t play bron n melo

Lamar Odom making mistakes? Go figure

Larry Brown is what happened. He wanted to play Shawn Marion instead of a young Bron

Just want to say thank you to everyone that’s new to the channel and enjoyed this video When I first started this channel this was one of the VERY FIRST topics I wanted to make a video on and seeing it kinda gain some traction motivates me to post more Thank you guys 💯

if the 2003 team played in 2004 that would be a cake walk for us.

You misspelled Dwyane* Wade on the 04 roster at 3:33.

No shooters… that 92 team had sooo much length that helped great defense. Most of the time the shortest player on the court was 6’6.

What happened between 1992 and 2004? Why were international players in 2004 better than those in 1992? This is a very stupid explanation. As a matter of fact, the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia in the 1980s had better team than any international teams that came after 1990.

Terrible starting lineup around A.I and Duncan should’ve started Bron,Wade,Amare

I want to say this. This 2004 team wasn’t the reason basketball expanded like it did today. That was 1992

also other national teams arledy catcht usa...like winning by5 againts serbia with referee blindness

I feel bad for TD, those 9 players who did not return for the olympics are straight up divas and have inflated egos

Coaching was the problem. The talent was there, but talent alone wont take you too far. Argentina was actually capable in terms of closing the gap as far as talent goes but they were much more coordinated on both ends of the court = win.

Something never brought up is that this is the only year Reebok made USA basketball jerseys. At the time Reebok was Nike's biggest competitor. There is that famous story of Jordan draping an American flag over his Reebok jacket. The very next Olympics USA basketball switched to Nike and all the people who dropped out of Athens played in Beijing.

This is Tim Duncan's worst part of his carreer.

If u look at how they play against argentina on semi finals on that olympics , they cant break the zone defense of argentina they keep on passing some open shots to drive inside the basket which clearly didn’t work at all. The zone defense is giving them hard time bcus if u watch it they , cant shoot from the outside consistently

Idk man, it’s hard to believe that international talent got that much better in 12yrs. I think the Euro teams I just got lucky that year

If I was the coach way back 2004, I would have chosen: 1.) Kobe 2.) Shaq 3.) Ben Wallace, 4.) Billups 5.) Marbury 6.) Iverson 7.) Paul Pierce 8.) Ray Allen 9.) Garnett 10.) Rasheed Wallace 11.) Richard Hamilton 12.) Jason Kidd

Excuses, excuses… many international teams also deal with coaching issues

They completely blame LeBron for this team losing. 🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️

They didn't have any shooters. They had enough talentto win it.

Just because you collected players from other countries doesn't make you a world champion, even if you win the games at the end. Play against other countries and show your worth. The definition you stated in the beginning of your video was on point... You dug yourself deep the longer you kept talking, are you trying to convince yourself or us? We already know the NBA are not the 🌍 Champions.

This 2004 team exposed how much Tim Duncan needed Popp/Robinson/Parker/Manu and the spurs system. Can't believe some people argue that "Duncan is top 5 all time", but thend up losing to puerto rico by 19 points, lithunia (0 nba players), and argentina... Only non-gold medal for USA in history of the olympics.

In soccer there is club world cup, and domestic teams need to qualify to get in to the tournament. If we apply this concept to basketball it would be as if warriors could face real Madrid. World champ is a term to be earned, even if you know you will win to foreign teams you still need to face them to earn the right of becoming a world champ

Coaching to me is the number 1 reason they lost, if you can’t play free you wont perform to the best of your abilities.

I’ll agree that Coach Brown was a mismatch certainly with this particular roster. If Brown had his 04 Pistons there they probably would have won it all. Unselfish TEAM basketball will always win out over young guys just lookin to score. So yeah sub par roster and unpopular coach. Bad news.

92 got Jordan, Magic and Bird, 96 and 00 got shaq and Koby. Never will be a teams like that. The competition was good, just USA had the goats.

😂😂😂😂 before 1992 was olimpics and USA was dominating the game back then. The 2004 team had no knowledge of Olympic basketball. This team played vs a bunch of Olympic veterans like Puerto Rico.

Shorten the NBA regular season by 20 games then have the American NBA champions play the European national champions for the world title.

I mean it’s not really that bad since Detroit fumbled the pick

You should edit your videos like the 25 players under 25 list I think that was your best video

JJJ is way too high in the list, there are so many other people that are higher than him, like: Tyrese Maxey, Paolo Banchero, Lamelo Ball, and Tyrese Haliburton.

Good takes. When it comes down to the homegrown talent ALOT of it simply comes down to luck tho so I do feel like if you have a chance to grab a star piece through FA or Trade u gotta hop on that if you have the right assets

USA losers get gold this time losers

It keeps them big market teams in check... they get screwed just as much as smaller market teams😅

You are not representing your nation when you compete in the NBA

Random basketball plays cut between the text ruins this explanation video. Leave the text on screen for people to read. Every video doesn't have to have a random montage playing the entire time.

Randle is here to stay. Knicks suck at drafting anyway

Its not an overpayment..those 5 picks are a bag of peanuts

They had 11 first round picks. The Knicks are a young team and they should perform well year after years so if you think 5 picks in 23 and up is where you find stars then I have a bridge to sell you. Knicks still have 5 first round picks so they still make moves.

even though the knicks overpaid, who have the knicks drafted that became an all-star with the knicks. not Porzingis, even with the 3rd pick Rj didn't because an all-star. we are not that good at drafting. this trade is a rare win-win situation. the knicks want to win right now so this is good for them, and the nets want to rebuild so collecting this draft capital is also a win for the nets. also, these knicks picks won't be in the lottery or barley. nobody got "fleeced". the knicks only gave up so many picks because the knicks didn't want to give the nets important rotational players. that's why the knicks only gave up Bojan Bogdanovic. the knicks still have a lot of picks left. 5 picks in the next 3 years. this trade is why we stacked these picks. also, the chemistry with Brunson, Donte and hart. first of many moves for the knicks and a start of a rebuild for the nets. even tho 5 first seems like alot, we have way more first round picks.
