A quick catch up with Boomer Matisse Thybulle about joining the Olympic team and what it means to represent Australia. #Tokyo2020 #AustralianBoomers #MatisseThybulle #Basketball Musicbed SyncID: MB01VYQZTSSWCKP
Hearing an American say that his parents wanted to raise him to be like an Australian is something that every single one of us Australians should be so proud of
The fact he chose to play for Australia says a lot about the impact of his formative years had on him. He speaks fondly of it as a point of difference and you can sense that he is down to earth. Didn't know him before the Olympics but I'm now a big fan of him as a person.
That would be great. I was rooting for Australia. Can't wait to see him on the court again in October for the Sixer's season! I've become a basketball junkie
I followed Philly for Ben Simmons but as soon as Matisse turned up...I've loved him since day one & really enjoying seeing him evolve. Playing for the Boomers was a massive bonus & so happy for Matisse & the Guy's winning an Olympic Bronze So Proud.
He's a great guy, with a wonderful spirit and work ethic. His good looks are a bonus. He certainly has won over many in the Philly area with his presence...especially the females...wish we could have said the same about Ben, but I guess it's too late...he never "wanted" to be "wanted" by Philly fans, and soon, I'm sure, he'll work his way out of the town and away from the fans that that he refused to embrace.
@@birdsfan57 I love hearing that Philli has embraced Tisse! @julie I have a Simmons 76ers jersey from his rookie season (doesn't even look like he'll be a 76er for too long). But watching Tisse saying how much he loves playing for the Boomers has turned me off Ben a tonne. Saying everything Ben should be.
A very humble and talented young man. He is a vital contributor to the boomers squad in winning a bronze medal in Tokyo. I wish him well in his basketball career . A tru blu boomer he is indeed.
Started following Tisse after i watched that interview about his mum, then his popularity blew up from the bubble vlogs - such a genuine good dude. So so happy for his success and so proud he's reppin our home
Thybulle was a breath of fresh air for the Boomers. Like Exum he has that ability and drive to go straight to the hoop. And his defence was top-notch. Love him.
Matisse is a better defender than the Simmons and can actually knock down 3s. Love this guy. Plays with a passion and seems to enjoy all opportunities that present themselves.
@@kingfisher2415 yes Simmons Is definitely a better defender but tisse is a better scorer by far ain't to chicken shit to have a go specially at a wide open shot unlike Simmons wich is why he makes for a far better team m8 and it don't make U a casual to have an opinion even a very common opinion. No
In my opinion Matisse as a 22 y/o is a great defender however Ben Simmons is an elite defender that can guard all 5. Offensively yes Matisse is a competent 3 point shooter and can finish at the rim. The main difference is that be Simmons can take it to the rim easily but his problem is that he isn't aggressive and a pass first type, whereas Matisse' inside game is more of a cutter and rim roller due to him not having the ball in his hands the majority of the time.
Matisse... MATE! You were brilliant and thank God you got the start for the bronze game. Defence to offence, put backs dunks... even Bogut said during commentary he was happy to see a bit of fire in you to be an enforcer for the Boomers to come!! Man you stood up and it was beautiful. Thank you for playing for us! You're a piece we need and DO NOT FORGET IT!! (Also your dad made the best insta post before the bronze match, he is BAE😭) ❤💛🖤 🥉=🥇 💙💚💛
That fishing trip is still on if have a spare 2 weeks to quarantine? So proud if you Tisse. Thanks for being an Aussie. Free beers for life for this young fella! Aoi, Aoi, Aoi!
International record for Matisse, 8 and 1. He's a far better fit than Simmons. Ben is all "ego" , a coward and a National embarrassment. Happy that Matisse choose Australia. He's humble. Will lead a new generation of young, talented Boomers which is exciting for the country. Jock Landale , Josh Giddey , Dante Exum , Josh Green , Dyson Daniels , Matur Maker. Role on Paris '24.
The boys love Ben - they have no hard feelings! Especially Tisse - Ben is his teammate in the NBA Check out what Patty had to say about Ben's departure - they have no ill will
Boomers dont need Ben Simmonds when you got players like Mathysse Thybulle wanting to wear the green and gold. A tru blu Aussies boomers like Thybulle is what we need and not prima donna nba dudes like Ben.
despite limited minutes…1 of 3 players with 70 blks & 70 stls, 5th highest Def Box +\- in NBA HISTORY, more stls than Simmons, more blks than Embiid, all playing around 20 minutes/gm..
He's a dual citizen. Lived in Oz from age two, for seven years. Didn't need to be naturalised, he has both citizenships. For the record I have three citizenships.
He never had one only lived here for a few years so got dual citizenship his sister is the only family member born here neither him or his folks were born here.
Why does he sound American? False claiming? If he grew up on McDonald's and Walmart and learned basketball from lil pookey and Ray ray whatever medal he might win, needs to come back to the states and not Australia
His nationality is Australian even tho he was born in the states. He’s been doing a tremendous job both with the sixers and in the Olympics. Do your research smh -.-
@@jaahnnn haha … well yes John , you’re correct, those players have all indeed played for your very own red white and blue …. very well detailed of you … still … it is the US though isn’t it … i mean , let’s face old John, if those players had the choice of where they could live and work whilst still pursuing their chosen profession to the maximum extent possible, beyond their own country of birth, well John me old mate, I think you and I (and just about everyone else on the planet) all know where that would be … hey Johnny Boy ? hey? do we know ? yeeaaahhh we know … we know … we know where that would be big John , we do …. hahahaha …. no Fosters or shrimp, just public healthcare, mateship and an opportunity to get a world class education without being shot at or told the earth was formed in 7 days … gotta love it …. oh the girls and the beaches are pretty good too JP … they really are, just ask anyone .. google it even … 😜
