So full of shit. Youre looking sum of parts. The USA team has talent. They just don't give a shit about their country and they are selfish, schoolyard fucks who play only for themselves. No clue of what playing for each other means, no effort on defense, just a bunch of spoiled, rich, entitled brats who have no heart. That's why they got their ass kicked, not some sudden light years jump in talent by France. Clueless idiot
Come eat your crow

Man, that was stressful but well earned. France showing everyone they are really good. And also showing some H0opla people that don't know fucking shit about what they are talking about

This team (unfairly criticized by lazy sportswriters looking for Twitter views) was a GREAT TEAM.

The 3 teams they beat were probably better than any USA opponents other than the loaded 2004 Argentina squad.

Every single team the 1992 dream team played would lose by 50 to any of Spain, Australia, or France.

The rest of the world just got better. It was never about the USA being awful.

The 2000 Olympics wouldn't make it past the QF

I was thinking about that the other day. Looking back at that roster, the 2000 team isn't all that good. They could definitely lose to some of the international squads of the last few years

Eh

The word awful wasn't thrown out there by me but it def wasn't their best possible squad by a long shot. Durant was just that good. Jrue also played amazing.

KD deserves a lot of credit for this one. With covid and all he could have easily stayed home and skipped it. He committed early and when he did the others fell in line. I would expect him to play one more Olympics.

Props to you for giving props to KD.

I know he isn’t your favorite.

Aussies finally get the bronze after finishing 4th 4 times since 1988.

Things are what they are, he wants to do good. Plenty of blame to go around in that situation.
