[@terrellestephens8922]

You're using his stats from 2021 to justify why he should be playing in a game in 2024. How does that make sense? Not even the same roster. He's not the second best player on this team and he hasn't been playing like the current NBA champion either. If I was Kerr, I'd stick with LBJ, Curry and KD too. I'm not sure what's going on behind the scenes but JT is not what everyone keeps trying to make him up to be and if we lose a game, it sure as hell won't be because he didn't play. He's not the difference maker here.

@@terrellestephens8922 Dude is way better than 2021, he has been all NBA 1st team 3 times since Tokyo.

I think the biggest weapon all these other teams have against team USA is that they're literally their country's national team. They've been playing together for years in order to represent their homeland. And team USA being the most anticipated team have huge targets on their backs. Everyone knows about the superstars, so everyone would also know their biggest strengths and weaknesses. That's why I think the only thing keeping team USA afloat is pure talent. And that's what sets them apart for me. They've only got a few months to think how to play with each other, they've been operating with different playstyles, but despite that, at the end it just comes back to the fact that each one of the members can go off on their own if needed.

@@goodbot8526 Exactly, and why do you think is that? It's also because of talent. Jokic is a generational talent on par or even better than some dudes on team USA, but unfortunately not everyone on his team is like him. Team USA's b-team or c-team also had the best facilities, but they still lost against those from other countries. The thing is technology is just a way to train faster and more efficient, it does not magically give one dude talent. So, I don't really get what your point in all this.

Literally all 3 averaged 3-5 blocks per game and 1.5-3 steals per game. Unlike the defensive players today, who rarely are also top scorers, ALL 3 LEAD THEIR TEAMS IN SCORING. As all 3 are in competition for scoring champs outside of MJ and Robinson won it when MJ wasn't in the league. Embiid FLOPPING isn't gonna cut it 🤣. While AD literally struggled every time against Sabonis in the last 3 seasons and he isn't even a shot blocker like these 3 and are more as good as Barkley on defense who isn't a slouch on defense who is a good defender not elite like the other 3 but good, and Sabonis also put up more points than AD head to head, which easily tells you Bam, AD and Embiid ain't doing anything against Dream Teams front court 🤣. 6.

Clyde who is a great defender, and of course the best on ball defender of all time and at getting steals and the best blocking guard of all time.

I'm not even gonna mention the rest of the PGs as they don't even belong to be mentioned as they would be just cones on defense against the offensive Juggernaut of Dream Teams back court of having TWO OF THE BEST FACILITATORS IN NBA HISTORY and a top 5-7 shooting guard of all time. Of course the GOAT. I don't even need to talk about Currys defense..... While Booker is a choker who folds under pressure and Edwards inexperience and showing early signs of a choker when he choked last year in Fiba, choked against the Mavs and was choking AGAINST SERBIA the moment they took a double digit lead, Edward looks lost, frantic and looking like a rookie on the floor with horrible defense, horrible offense who couldn't execute and was a no show. What would those two against the goat and Clyde a top 50 player when they both made Bogi look like an All-star. 7. The only small advantage this team has against the Dream Team. The Wong position specifically the SF of LeBron, KD and Tatum. But it's literally a small, very small advantage as Pip is an elite on ball defender and top 2 all around, team defender, and have the strength and length to definitely slow down KD and LeBron and the same time can facilitate, spread the floor and can score. Mullin being the same who can definitely light it up especially during those times when he shoots over 50% on the floor, 39% behind the arc which was elite in an era of no emphasis on the 3. Plus Mullin is a great defender. He easily matches up well against Tatum and can play enough defense on KD and LeBron, or could be switch to the two and have MJ on LeBron, or have Barkley or Malone on KD. They aren't stopping those two, but can definitely make it hard for them especially neither are in their peak Prime. As even if they were, it would still be the same case as we have seen in Prime LeBron the likes of Leonard can make him ineffective. Which Jordan would be able to do it better . Which allows Pip to be on KD. Bird may not be able to defend like he used to, but he still wouldn't be a cone and would be able to be a spot up shooter with so many weapons on the floor especially when MJ and Magic is on the floor who demands a double team when on the floor. Just literally, LOOKING AT THAT SERBIA GAME, with the well executed plan they would have been able to beat this 2024 team if Jokic didn't get into foul trouble and got his 4th early in the 4th. A team that holds no candle to the Dream Team and no one on that team even come close to the same tier as MAJORITY of the Dream Team especially MJ. A double digit lead HAD TEAM USA CHOKING, and Curry woildnt be able to save them when he is being bounced by the likes of Magic and Stockton. MJ would actually take the game seriously, drop 40 on this team as no one has the defensive abilities to slow him down to 30 pts. As no one on this team is a true elite defender. Jru is the closest who is still isn't close to the defensive abilities that MJ faced. MJ leading the way to a 15 or lead at the end of the 1st quarter as they keep piling on every quarter, as this team would face more Legends, top 50 while this team only has 3 true top 75 who aren't in their peak prime, as AD should have never been included. As every quarter the lead would just balloon unlike team Serbia and would not CHOKE IN THE 4TH. SERBIA HAD A STRATEGY AND ALMOST EXECUTED IT ALL GAME LONG. The Dream Team would not only be able to do the same thing ALL GAME LONG but they would definitely do it 100X better. a 35+ pt lead for the Dream Team would be easy when they at least try.

But today's 3-point heavy, and motion focused gameplay that EVERYONE else now does is the perfect recipe against an all star team like USA who has to figure out how to play together and stay away from a your turn-my-turn style that won't work against chemistry and execution. Perfect example is the 2014 spurs (that actually was pretty mutch an international team) vs that star studded Miami hest with their 3 1st balad Hall of famers. They got spanked. And now the rest of the world has caught onto that 2014 Spurs recipe, and team USA is still tryna get by on pure talent alone.

I really don't know why y'all celebrating😳 This wasn't a victory. This was the beginning of the end of Team USA's dominance in world basketball!

European cope is so petty

International basketball teams have caught up to USA basketball for sure. There are lots of players and coaches in this era.

When people were saying LeBron had nothing to do with The Klaw going back home. I believe it. Something happened beyond that point. Also Jalen Brown couldnt join for some reason... Crazy
