How Steph, LeBron, & KD Won Gold for Team USA, and the Future of the Olympics | The Mismatch

[@tyrese958]

Underrated podcast ! You guys probably one of the best and gave a fair analysis on 🇫🇷🇫🇷

[@socalkylex]

Yabusele’s game is so naturally complimentary to Wemby’s that I don’t understand why the spurs wouldn’t give him a shot

[@Redranger99]

Im a Spurs fan and hes definitely better than that trash can Sochan.

[@thomascrowniii1693]

​@@Redranger99You do realize that there's a reason he's not in the league at 28 and Sochan is, right? The Olympics isn't the NBA.

[@Redranger99]

@@thomascrowniii1693 Yes and Sochan shouldn’t be in the league.

[@thomascrowniii1693]

@Redranger99 Not according to 21 NBA teams who had him on their draft boards as a lottery pick.

The real Last Dance

[@williambeale8275]

Hate to break it to Verno, the key plays feature isn't new. I first saw it on Amazon for TNF.

[@ryanearley8748]

Yeah they had it at the last summer games. It’s a great feature though, they should advertise it.

[@bryanallison3411]

Yup. It's not surprising he wouldn't know since basketball is still mostly shown on cable but the streamers have been doing this for the EPL/soccer for years

[@antmj2335]

Ant had like the 2nd best shooting percentage in the Olympics on the team. He wasn’t that up and down. Just had a shorter leash after a couple sloppy turnovers each of the last 2 games.

[@ronbent]

It bears mentioning that Anthony Parker didn't just "play in Israel" he was the best player on what was for that time the best team in the Euroleague.

[@Jet.Single]

It not a poster if you don’t try to block it. It’s just a failed charge

[@JohnJohn-nr7sb]

Devin Booker Anthony Edwards Donovan Mitchell Ja Morant Jalen Brunson Jaylen Brown Jayson Tatum Cooper Flagg Paolo Banchero Bam Adebayo Anthony Davis Chet Holmgren Other Options: Tyrese Haliburton Tyrese Maxey Zion Williamson Jalen Green Mikal Bridges Scottie Barnes JJJ I think we'll be fine in 2028

Dont forget about Bronny, he's the GOAT

[@silewis9396]

Growth as leadership is needed from some of those guys IMHO. I don't see it in any of their personalities right now. who will lead all of them like a Lebron/Steph/KD? I cannot see who will be willing to do role players things either. I've seen guys like Mitchell and JJJ play for USA and was not impressed at all. I would be very excited to see what Williamson, Flagg and Holmgren can do though.

[@obryn]

@@iamjacquesbarjon LMAO

[@innovance3788]

Don't understand how the dunk wasn't a charge, but Jrue got called for a charge minutes later...

[@gwdyon]

Who's next after Steph, LBJ and KD retire? Ant...and who else? Tatum who was benched the entire tournament? In LA team USA will be competitive, mostly because they will play at home, but I am not sure they will even be the favourites, France is much younger and extremely talented, and will have Wemby at his peak in four years (and God knows how high that pick can be, maybe the highest ever), I think France will be favourite for the gold in LA...

[@lorentzen.montoya]

[@VanCity313]

How did you guys not mention Brunson lmao he’s better than Ja

[@Gw19838]

He’s really not😂. Just in less trouble. Ja was on his way to being the face of the league and plays in a small market like Memphis. Not to mention, he’s had a better career than Brunson to this point. Just as good of a scorer at their best (and avg 6 not career points), better rebounder, better passer. Neither has had great team success. Brunson’s was with Dallas as a number 2 and he now plays in the worse conference.

[@bluesnem8396]

@@Gw19838none of that shit made sense

[@Gw19838]

@@bluesnem8396 Naw. It did. You just don’t like what was said. Ja is better and has had a better career than Brunson. Period! One stays out of trouble and the other hasn’t.

[@silewis9396]

I'd say it's close enough that there's a debate to be had but I'd still take Ja, who is also 3 years younger. I saw Brunson among the leaders of the USA team that lost to Germany and Canada.
