Defense would be tough.

Too big and slow.

Well half of the U.S.A. team will be hurt

Tabasco jet bigly mad I didn't challenge him to a Lakers would be top 6 seed bet when he was in here during that time.

fyi I was told I had one one those coming lol

His shooting is scary.

But stocks are insane for a pg, although a little too careless with the ball right now be a full time pg

Idk. The talent is there. But the extreme lack of shooting is concerning. You’re banking on the elite athlete figuring it out

I would replace Zingers with Wiggins.

Wiggins and OG can guard the perimeter.

Not enough to make a dent.

But, USA front court would get brutalized.

AD as the only Center?

l’m going World.

I have not seen him. Sounds like an intriguing talent though.

I am so far behind on watching anything below NBA.

Watched maybe a dozen college games this year.

I don’t consider Canadians as honorary Americans.

Do you?

I don’t think they see themselves that way either.

Because they didn’t have a ton of NBA caliber guys, putting them in the world pool made sense.

*very different now, they have plenty *

Yeah, we can drive there and the Country borders NY, Michigan…etc

But, Mexico borders Tex, Cali, AZ…

….they belong in the World pool as well.

But they're still classed as an American. Canadians are part of North America.

I wouldn't call it Team USA, I'd call it Team America

Ive been saying this for years. This should replace the all star game

Fair point.

But, Puerto Rico, Bahamas, Cuba, Jamaica , Haiti, Mexico…all North America.

They have their own Olympic teams.

Imo….they should not be categorized with the US, for sports purposes and I don’t think they would want to be.

Not to sound like a snobby American sports elitist…

But, we don’t need to stack the deck in basketball just to nab a couple of outliers.

The world is catching up to us…and that’s a good thing, for competition purposes.

I would absolutely hate being called Team Americas.

And I see why I should have read 2 pages back lol

Anyway I think this is a fantastic way to rejuvenate the all star game

Take it another level and have the game rotating in Usa and the next overseas

I think i read something that 75% of the NBA's social media followers are from outside the US.

Great way to frow the game.

Can even do a best 2 out of 3 if the schedule allows

We just started talking about it.

All good.

How would you feel about US and Canada being combined into the Americas?

Disappeared into the ether.

Is ours still there or did that disappear as well?

I personally hate it

The 92 Olympics were perfect

I’m in favor of bringing some of the Canadian women down. Everyone else has to stay up there in the cold though.

You need to be hoping Marcus sasser falls to 30

Oh, not for the Clippers.

I just see him slotted higher than Miller on a few draft boards and I don’t get it, for basketball reasons.
