49ers fans were saying they’d rather keep aiyuk over deebo lol

Steph is dropping 15 3s in that next Dallas game.

I believe it’s 36 nationally televised because 12 are gonna be on NBA TV

I was joking with my friend who’s a Grizz fan who’s tryna convince Ja is gonna lead USA to gold in ‘28 that the ‘28 team is gonna be the all-degenerate team 😂 you got Ja who’s gonna hit up every club in LA and Ant and Zion who’ll prob have 5 illegitimate kids each at that point and then Tatum trying to be Kobe and getting up early to work out to lead by example and no one will care. In all seriousness though these guys’ collective IQs will have to improve bc that’s what won the gold with Steph, Bron, and KD not just their talent

I think people might be making a bit too much of the international catch up. The biggest difference is that the US sends an all-Star squad, while everyone else sends coherent teams. We don’t send our best role players and it shows. (This year’s team lucked out because Booker way over-performed as a glue guy). Therefore, I think the decision to go with Derrick White over Jaylen Brown (and the benching of Tatum) is the best indicator for Team USA’s future. If Grant Hill, Kerr et al are making the team less of a popularity contest and more of a practical selection of the best *team* (stars and role players) - then the US will be dominant for years to come.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see Halliburton and Ant and others be able to carry the torch next time, esp. as Halli is my alma mater bro, I think we just have to move away from the "gold or it's embarrassing" mindset because it's just unfair to expect.

Now that is a great take! Not only are the international players becoming superior “basketball players” the American kids… I got a lot question. Again I’m going to make a dedicated video.

I have to be honest, when looking at how the other international teams are coming up, and how deep the US with GENERATIONAL talent had to dig to come out on top, we may look back on 2024 Paris as the high water mark of US dominance in the sport. It may be the end of the era where we think of the USA as default favorites to win gold.

Neal X

Agreed….But I do view his mentality/personality as a weakness. The same way Lowery and Podz is a strength.

Athletic Alchemy

"Fuck the Celtics" lmao. A+ take.

Neal X

I think Jason Tatum has no weakness, but he doesn't have a superstar level defining skill. All his skills are just one or two levels below that threshold. This by definition makes him unimpressive.

richard phan
