They’re probably more concerned with partying and trying to score with Japanese chicks.
Basketball was once the greatest sport ever invented. Television and the NBA have turned it into crapball. The colleges held out for several more decades but ultimately sold out in pursuit of the tv dollar, and because they wanted to recruit the ghetto athletes, often sub-literate, whose sole ambition was to play in the NBA. I’m one of the many who remember what basketball used to be and who find the modern U.S. version unwatchable. I walked away years ago.
Television has destroyed a great sport. I hope U.S. basketball finds a way to come back, but I’m not optimistic.
Of course the reason is "Climate Change".
The NBA players represent China, not the US.
The team celebrated like crazy I remember Quinn Buckner doing a little dance in celebration
They really don’t want to be there. I think pretty much all of the millionaire athletes are just there to go through the motions.
I say the three-point shot ruined basketball.
Lost to the French …..
I don’t watch the Olympics anymore, especially basketball. So I ask, did any payers kneel during the National Anthem? Did they even play the National Anthem?
Did not ever care much for the olympics...always found them quite boring. Enjoyed it when hokey team beat the Ruskies but that was a long time ago when players actually acted like they liked the country. Don’t mean to imply all or even most are like that put it’s just to much of a hassle not ever knowing which one you might root for and then find out they’re and American hating A-hole!!!
TV viewers don’t want to be there either.
I find myself rooting for whomever the USA is playing. Is that terribly wrong? I might feel different about some of the events where there are real patriots playing but I don’t know who they are.
People who kneel (to other than God) are by definition, submissive, and hence losers. Q.E.D.
The three point shot and the shot clock.
I hope we don't get a single medal and I'm serious.
This wokeness crap needs to end.
The foreign players will be able to read above the third grade level. Is that allowed in the NBA?
Same attitude as women’s soccer.
The Olympics is one thing I wouldn’t mind seeing cancelled.
oui oui in your face sucka MF
