The Team USA Revenge Tour 

Prolly cuz their brothers

They are married bro. Didn't you know?

It's embarrassing how niggas lost as fiba and the excuse is "wait till the Olympics" 💀. Fiba is the bigger tournament and taken more seriously worldwide but the bubbleboy Americans is confused into thinking the Olympics is the bigger tournament smh

​@@jigglyjellyjaspy2728i didn't know they were brothers I just thought real good friends

That’s never going to happen. It’s a whole new generation. That new generation is surrounded by greed and money chasing so.. there’s absolutely no way they’re going to put aside money to focus on completely representing their home country.

Lol they do this every time. Big stars don't want play until they see the B team Lose. Join for the Olympics. Then stop playing again 😂

That is 100% the biggest issue. I’m European and I know for a fact that players here love playing for the national teams and feel pride in representing their country. American players just seem entitled and not actually proud of representing their country. The notion of “ oh we don’t need to send our best players to win “ isn’t something that happens in European sports. You always send your best, and you damn sure don’t have your best players not wanting to play for the national team. If anything, it’s the opposite where you have to push washed players out of the national team because they still want to play but just aren’t good enough anymore.

@@joaobrito2653 Well tell your professional guys to play 82-110 games a year in the NBA & still spend every single offseason competing in FIBA competition..

@@carlgilmore-murry5789 who talked only about basketball? Football schedule is brutal and yet there is never even a question when it comes to players wanting to play for their country. It’s a matter of pride and culture. Why does Lebron and all the best players want to play now? Because their pride is hurt from seeing the USA lose

We’ve won the last how many Olympics?

​@@ilngsisfhevery one since 1992 except 2004

​@@mr.s845 can't be. people are saying american basketball doesn't have fundamentals. it's impossible for them to win multiple gold medals in a worldwide event.

@@fluffymyato3334 but they have, they've one a gold medal at every Olympics basketball event every Olympics since 1992 except 2004 were they won bronze

@@fluffymyato3334they do have fundamentals, they just don’t teach defense, or how to share a ball. The international teams are taught how to operate as team, the USA teams are taught how to play individually. I don’t necessarily agree with the whole lacking fundamentals, the American players not being talented, and not being good arguments. but hey at the end of the day it’s just a whole bunch of nobodies arguing and joking across the internet, that have no actual knowledge of basketball and are happy they finally beat the US at basketball. So I just roll my eyes and scroll. With that being said the 2020 Olympics was a rocky start for them and it goes to show that the other leagues are elevating their players with their old school rules and coaching, while the NBA isn’t really developing their new guys properly with all the new school rules and coaching. Also 4th truly isn’t terrible considering, their entire team was carried and led by a 20 yr old rookie. But also the NBA should truly use this as a wake up call to start taking basketball seriously again. Plus I hate that the innocent USA team, that didn’t even even say anything are getting dragged into the middle of this. When they truly weren’t bad, the Americans are wrong for degrading their own players and the foreigners are wrong for their insensitive comments. At the end of the day, It’s natural to win and lose at a sport, even if you’re the best, it’s part of the game. People are only going so hard because it’s the US that lost. I can guarantee you even if they got bronze, they would still be clowned. The very praises that Canada are getting for bronze would not be the same if the USA got bronze. And Noah Lyles clearly just said shit to stir this up. So yeah fuck him.

Oil

Maybe he could have played Kessler at the 5 and JJJ at 4, were he's more comfortable.

Dude can ball, just bc he’s annoying doesn’t mean he’s a trash player

why does this coment have no likes let me fix it

Well stated

Nah, but Wemby, Coulibaly and Gobert will, it will be extremely hard to score on that defense, and Wemby+Evan Fournier+Decolo is enough to be great in offense they can shoot, they can slash, they are are smart and can pass, they can also play with Wemby at thz 5 and Batum at the 4 for better spacing

and it is posible. you need 1 or 2 players to get hot from 3. and what can you do? they are raining 3.

it is not likely but stil posible.

That's still way more than any other team beside, maybe, Canada

@@Herzeder what I meant is that if you paly a iso heavy style with that team you are not going far in a world cup

@@drpandemonio5459 so maybe they shouldn't have played iso heavy basketball..... I swear, everybody praises Ker as if he's a hugely impressive coach, but the moment he didn't have Curry out there, he did nothing.

They had the top stars of quite a few teams, bad teams but teams none the less. Knicks, Wolves, Pacers, Magic, Pels and Nets all had their best guys there.

only AD and Bam, USA coaches loves small ball and a versatile bigman

@@theyrehere.3468 but we need to learn why we finished 4th in the FIBA. Lack of rebounding and lack of an inside presence on both sides of the court. If we make the same mistake in the World Cup we may not even finish with bronze as we’ll possibly be facing Embiid (maybe), Jokic, Giannis, and just other teams who play big and scrappy inside.

@@froge7986 AD and Bam isn't JJJ lol 😂

@@theyrehere.3468 still having multiple bigs would help. I’d say atleast 3 of them to allow us some flexibility in out lineup

@@froge7986 Thats why I think a healthy AD is the best fit. He's versatile enough to play both a classic 4 and 5, and he is a monster on the boards and defensively, which is exactly what we needed this past world cup.

He played for 2 word championships

Avengers are old and injured, there is no avengers, no center, no pf, usa too small, you should be lucky if 1 or 2 players from "avengers" is playing. Americans are so ridiculous, this isn't a movie, by the way best players are Europeans

Go Canada, greetings from Germany!👍💯

With how fragile AD is, I'm not so sure about how realistic his participation is.

Him, melo, and Wade barely played though

​@@MrTimLee84and they're still teens that time 😂 they're rookie

I'm just an NBA fan. And NBA players are talking now. I'll believe it when they start walking. Frankly. I think they should sit it out. Stop being insecure over losing. When another Pg injury goes down. Everyone will snap back to normal.

Well said. Coach K had the right idea when he was put in charge. He kept the same core guys, brought certain really big stars and surrounded them with some quality specialist role players. The USA might have been able to just patch a team of random players together and win in the past, but not anymore. Even if they manage to bring the 'Avengers', it's not done and dusted. If Serbia for example is at full strength they'll have a really good shot at beating anyone the US brings.

He is more American than French tho. He never lived in France, probably never even visited France before asking for the French nationality. The French basketball federation doesnt even really want him to play for them because it seem unfair to give a spot on the team to someone who's not really French, it's not like Embiid is not joining the team by is own decision.

It's one thing to win or lose by 4 and another to win or lose by 20. If you lose by 20, you are either uncompetitive, or you should be ashamed of yourself because you performed terribly. If you lose by 4, you still lost, but you didn't get steamrolled.

We lost to Canda and dillion brooks gave us 40, that's as bad as it gets😂

More people are caring nowadays, as evident by people piling on AR for being dominated in the post and Kerr’s coaching decision.

Exactly. This is going to keep happening. No one here cares about fiba.

It sounds like the argument of a 9th grader who says that his bad grades in math doesn't matter because he doesn't really like it.

But theres also more of narrative (and somewhat of a truth) that many of the top nba players itself are international. Even if the world is catching up US gotta still show its on top this upcoming Olympics and dominate. Not like 2020 when it was a close victory.

most will totally not agree whit you and woud prefer to beat the USA and win medals for themselves. If they can win in the face of Le Bron and Steph it will be even better.

@@stefankatsarov5806 yea well it would, i was just trying to be realistic lol also my country probably doesn't stand a chance to medal even if team usa brings the c team, so at least if they bring the big guns we'll have something legendary to see

Hardly bro, too old and too injured

Left Melbourne at age 2 so...........yes but actually no?

Baseball is really big in many other places. Japan and Central America especially.

saying nobody outside of America cares about baseball is fucking wild

I was joking. I know baseball is big in Japan (pun intended) and Central America. It’s just funny how US national team literally feels like it is entitled to win no matter what.

@@kaohs2133 Central America and Japan are like less than 10% of the world. By any global definition its a sport that no one cares about.

@@RubyWavesIs it tho, most of the contries outside of the USA have almost 0 interest in the sport and dont play it at all domestically. Central america which is a few poor countries and Japan is too litle to deep it a global sport and by any metric it is a sport that no one really cares about.
