Perk's IDEAL Olympic Starting Five 🇺🇸 + Why FIBA Team USA failed 😳 | NBA Today 

Komentar godine!!!

😂😂

Not defending his IQ, but his starting five is on point.

let me guess..no center?😂 Edit: It is a good lineup. just replace Tatum with Mikal and that is good to go..🎉

As a citizen of the world, I can confirm Perk is not a World Champion, not my World Champion, not our World Champion. This Bozo American can say whatever he wants but facts are facts.

Not really Lebron was already going to do it to add to his legacy!!

When did the NBA last use the term "world champions" on the nba championship caps?

LMAO that would be hilarious if Dream Team 2.0 just comes out and destroys the Olympics

​@@104rr type in Google "NBA world champion cap"

​@@jovandraganescu1406 so he can come closer to MJs legacy. I'd be happy for LeBron

People who believe they’re the best don’t focus on the “passion and love” of their competition lol. When it comes to winning that’s irrelevant tf 😂

Couldn't agree more, the way in which they have handled this and the NBA "World Champions" fiasco and losing this cup has been quite distasteful. The World Champion nonsense didn't bother me till the incessant whining insued defending what wasn;'t really true. That felt classless and disrespectful even though originally I didn't think much of the comment. This just nails that feeling a bit farther. Similar to NBA fans expectations of their teams I suppose

Knowing Americans attitude, they will look down these players coz they develop superiority complex and they are narcissists. Undoubtedly, these players should felt the honor that they represent USA but only for those Americans that's proud of them.

What are you talking about? We dominate the Olympics every time we send our best players .... \

@@Dame-Dame-Dame they are proud after winning 16/19 gold medals (when sent actual good teams and tried) smh.... folks just hate on the NBA players because of their fameand money typical crab mentality

Perfect expression!

Both are reward’s because you gotta earn a spot on a team & you gotta work to get that championship or medal & tbh it’s harder to win a NBA championship vs a gold medal simply because of the discrepancy in level of competition.. 7 of the last 8 Olympic gold medals belong to the USA playing in FIBA rules.. can you imagine what the USA will do to the rest of the world if FIBA decided to use the NBA style ??

@@carlgilmore-murry5789 what u mean harder? How is it harder when big name players can just work their way into championship teams? Remember lbj, durant? In international competition, u r locked in a team based on ur roots, nationality, no cheating their way into championships. That's the real world competition. Not with these teams, with these players that can cheat their way into championships just to build and chase their legacies. In nba, u got 4 chances in 4 years. In fiba world or olympics, u got only one chance every four years. It's just easier for usa to win internationally, the bigger stage, the world tourneys cus obviously talent wise, usa still has the best pool of talents of all the countries that compete. But not anymore, it's not easy anymore. These smaller countries are catching up fast. Also one thing to note, in nba if u became a champ, it's for the brand, the state, the players' legacy. In international if u win, it's for countries' pride and glory. For a patriot like me, i'd take the later any day, it's the bigger reward, u have the whole nation on ur back, and it will really show that we the best in the world.

​@@carlgilmore-murry5789 I was just speaking generally, across ALL sports. It's probably why Noah Lyles felt so strongly about the World Champions thing. USA has the most talent in basketball. But saying that the NBA winners are World Champions is rigging the game and giving them an undeserved title because (almost only) "American" teams can win that. There's an honour and pride in the international game that the NBA will never have. To actually represent your family, heritage, your home, wear the national colours/flag, hear your national anthem, have YOUR whole country behind you, it's different.

@@whitefire06 You not wrong but here’s the thing: these other countries have leagues so guys can stay in their home countries & play.. I look at it like the worst NBA teams would stomp a lot of these national teams & if your competing in the best basketball league on Earth vs the best players from around the world you gotta beat the best that the world has to offer to be crowned a champion

The 2004 team was not the team that qualified and that team was beating Argentina by 30 in the first half during qualifying. That was the first post 9/11 Olympics and the US team was receiving a lot of threats so the veterans backed out. They stayed in Turkey just prior to the Olympics for safety reasons and a bomb did go off at their hotel, although they had already left and were not there during the explosion. They were so shook up they lost their first game to Puerto Rico, they were heckled relentlessly by the Greek fans and eventually they lost to Argentina. That’s the one team of NBA stars where I’m truly sympathetic to their circumstances and understand why it was so difficult for them to focus and compete.

​@@goeast12Right that team didn't even stay in the Olympic village. After that loss we decided to Have this Grass Roots system where we send Our Select players to Tournaments like this and The Americas cup to gain experience to eventually Make the Olympic Roster . You seem to understand that. These other ppl are making a big deal over this loss as if its something new. If they look at Our Record in The Olympics they would see Colageno's System is working

🧠🙌

Problem is coach

@@carloscorona633Nah, Steve Kerr is a legit top 20 all-time coach and I think he'll just learn as they go. Gotta learn the rules to play the game efficiently.

Curry harden

@@megadriver23they was drafted in 09 I think but I’m pretty sure drose won’t it in the early 2010s

​@@yahiaali4059d rose won it in 2011 but he was drafted in 2008.

Just need the best players to play team ball.

Embiid dont play for USA ,he from Africa

@@johnnyzli Watch the video. Embiid can play for the US or France since he has citizenship with both countries.

@@johnnyzlisomebody skipped the video, he’s a us citizen. Us has to recruit him

​@@johnnyzlido your research on Citizenship kid

An actual team USA lineup still just wins on talent alone right now

​@@bigtik5233 Nah, Dillon Brooks would nullify that talent and if they get Chris Boucher and Brandon Clarke to play, could handle AD. Get Jamal there and Wiggins too, its over

Yeah okay 🤣🤣🤣

But who's guarding K.D and Curry on those other teams?

@@ScottieDPOYY You hIgh?

Except the nba is a global game. The best talent from around the world is in the nba 5 German players are in the nba. Including Schroeder Nba does not equal team usa

​@@nydibsare you stupid? All Top Sport leagues have players from all over the world but they never call themselves World Champions.

That was obvious to me

Im just here laughing because why does it seem like they need all that to beat schroder and teis?

​@@kiki42719because Dennis and Theis are there stars on their country. We didnt release Team USA Superstars yet. If you're that afraid that means you know how strong team USA, and yet theyre still playing their C roster which why the other country beat them

the duo *WE* deserve

​@@kiki42719I don't think they want to beat them, I think they want to set an example

@@kiki42719 Because FIBA referees call the game differently. When Lebron walks down 1/2 the court he will get a travel called. When Curry throws himself on the ground to get a foul he will get one - a tech for flopping. The time when FIBA referees blew the whistle to stop the game so they could get a better photo with an NBA star are long gone

Good luck with Kawhi being healthy next year 😂

👀

Lol every highlight of go ahead field goals was with Haliburton leaving someone open,

I would love to See Steph finally put a USA jersey on.

@BarryBlockZay617 - Curry was on team USA, just at the fiba World Cup not the Olympics

@@nydibs that's what I mean he's never played in the Olympics...

No excuse yank..plz admit that the US is so sux,i mean americans are sucks in basketball nowadays if european players are not playing in NBA then NBA is completely dead

I concur.

Steph has an experience in World Cup, so don't worry about him. And the Olympic gold would be a really good plus for his legacy

Nah he has to get a gold medal I like it

@@marcosjuarez1490 He's only gonna end up playing 8 games at a most of 24 minutes per. Less than 200 minutes of game action.

That's why you're a warriors fan you care about warriors more than the national team

Agreed! The FIBA Basketball World Cup champion is still the Basketball World Champions, that is Germany. Germany will be replaced come 2027 FIBA Basketball World Cup in Qatar so Team US can prepare and get the Olympics Basketball medal, that doesnt matter. They are still not the World Champion in basketball. 🏆

​​​@@ไอ้พวกอิสลาม Yup, I agree! The title of "world champions" is given to the winner of the FIBA Basketball World Cup. If Team USA wins the Olympics in 2024, their title would be "Olympic Gold Medalists"! 😂

Nah USA can still do that they just don’t know how to pick good players

@@R3Y1023facts breh 💯💯

People want embiid to play in France but he’s not French

Yeah… shorter 3s, shorter minutes, shorter fouls… it’s all different… and even Jokic struggling in fiba rules , he didn’t bring Serbia atleast QF last eurobasket with better roster… Serbia with lesser talent make it to the finals of World Cup… so totally different scenarios

​@@robertotampioc7318Milutunov is better than Jokic,he is a behemot,that would hive AD or Bam big problems

Dang, you want all the D’s doncha?

Yep. Half of them do not even play defense any more. And that is way more important in FIBA. Plus AD is so injury prone...

What Kobe did it and it was awesome why wouldn't they want to age or not they are still some of the best athletes in the world

@@internationalreceipes yes i feel like with these players age and lack of defense, they will be exploited. Haven't we seen how fast a game is in fiba? Especially these european teams, the ball movement was quick, play transition was smooth. Even younger and fresher guys from team usa can't seem what to do defensively, they looked lost at times. I don't think these older players could have done better, but we'll see. They are still the best team on paper though. Always have been for usa, just can't get it done sometimes.

Morant,Yang,Lamelo,Fox,Halibirton,Garland,Cuningem,Booker,Mitchell,Edvard,Green,Heero,Pool,Braun,Tatum,Bruges,Ingram,Barns, Zion,Bankero,Mobley,Jackson Jr,Adebayo,Allen,Holgrem....

He is an American citizen now and if wants to play for USA he will. Sabonis, Kyle Anderson and many other Americans play for international teams and were not born there.

Right! I was thinking the same thing I miss the jump 😢

💯

I actually like him coming off the bench.

I mostly hope zion or bam can play

Trust me all those other teams didn’t even have their best players.

Or Jamal Murray playing for CANADA 🙂 that's why I don't take Kendrick Perkins seriously 😂

Probably still ahould😢be them. The rest it of that Denver squad isn't exactly trash. Murray be balling out

chet holmgren

@@loganmiller6879 Hopefully he will be healthy enough. He hasn't played a single nba game. So we'll have to wait and see on him.

Why do people think this is USA first time they lost because this isn’t the first time

@@estelalopez3563 lol not the last either
