Vaidas Kariniauskis actually talked with Spencer, Austin's brother, according to a tweet I saw. "Give Austin some trash talk," Spence said. That's what Vaidas did, and Lithuania won in the end.
@@sarasxd Let me rephrase that. Lithuania at the end of the day got the win. Forgot to edit to better reflect the game. You right in typing that "In the end" means a late spurt, as Lithuania really had created a large lead early on, and they managed to hold on.
@@gadgetimpulse3833 Ha ha ha! So much for that swagger. No medal to show for it, and the U.S. will have to settle for bronze should they win against Canada.
The backstory behind this actually makes it more hilarious. That Lithuanian player is a teammate of AR's brother and the brother told him to give AR a hard time.
@@demitransasuab5747 yup some of new generations of lion are deadly but they should learn from the ones who came to life and death situation they just dont show of just kill, eat, lure , fight
Nba is a game of run and throw😂😂 200 shots and only 30 gets in fiba and european basketball is a real deal. Nba has no defence when they get into position game they loseeee😂😂😂 no tacticts no defence strategys in nba... just run dunk or throw😂 every time any team starts using tacticts in nba that team goes far. Sacramento kings is good example.
You talk shit about the NBA but the last team in the NBA will smashed any beat team in Europe 😂😂😂 The only reason Europe basketball is hard it's because of the rules which caters to the defense 😂😂😂 even luka said it!!
Americans don't know anything past their noses. Do you guys even know where Canada is? Not because you've never heard of him, doesn't mean others haven't.
Might regret that one though. Last time a team did that shit to him he ended up going ape shit on them the rest of the way in the playoffs. Started with GSW and carried all the way through the WCF.
And then got spanked in the ass by the Nuggets with a clean sweep. He's a good player but a bit overrated. For me, he kinda took everyone by surprise, AR wasn't every team's defensive priority that's why he looked great. Let's see next season when teams increase their defensive focus on him, let's see if he is really "him".
@@douglaspulaski9491 They wasn't, main focus of the Nuggets' defense is still Lebron and AD, not AR. Let's see next season if Teams will pay more attention to him on defense
It is called waiting for your opponent to mistake. whst it brings to jokic a chip.. while.your so called american players will take risks. It is fiba, not nba. Foo
this is good for the Lakers coming into the 2023-24 season. We know Austin Reaves' can channel his Mamba Mentality and work on his strength and post up defense.
He's a good player but a bit overrated. For me, he kinda took everyone by surprise the past 2 seasons, AR wasn't every team's defensive priority that's why he looked great. Let's see next season when teams increase their defensive focus on him, let's see if he is really "him".
