We're more talented, obviously. But the Europeans will eventually find those players with talent and then train them. Luka Dončić is an example of this, he is probably the best European player to compete in NBA since Dražen Petrović (may he RIP).
my feelings exactly
the vichy usa at the olympics is NOT the real USA
Good. Popovich is an embarrassment as the Head Coach of this team. Also an embarrassment to USAFA.
Re “It was practice”.
It is a wake-up call to the “woke”, “over confident”, and any America-bashers on the US team. You can be beaten!.
I hope that they play the games “straight”, no politics, racial protests, NIKE advertising and Red Chinese asskissing, etc.
We are supported to enjoy playing sports and even watching them. If that is one of our “Four Olds”, then I’m all for being an old guy. When I participated in sports, you had rules of “gentlemanly conduct” (I was a fencer), respect for your opponents, and you did your best.
Like I said, watch out for the French, they are becoming a basketball factory.
Basically College Basketball will become like College Baseball, it’s where guys who can’t get signed out of high school will play. More and more the NBA will look towards European players to fill their rosters.
....”As it is now, these pampered princes just have to eat the loss and pretend to be good sports about it.
They don’t have a leg to stand on, for race baiting. Not this time”......
I have no problem with them eating this loss.
Trying to gin up interest. Not that we are that superior but...who cares about Olympics anymore? Just a week long orgy of clips of the games and personal interest stories about one dimensional athletes. Hey NBC...we don’t care.
Couldn't have happened to a better loser.
Sometimes teams like Nigeria are just "hungrier" than the cocky, spoiled, think-their-shit-don't-stink NBA guys. They want it more.
Pops seemed to veer hard left once Tim Duncan’s career was winding down.
Much of Christian Nigeria is based, which makes the US defeat even more delectable.
Yes but what used to be women’s events are all trannies.
It’s Ghana be interesting, but for now there’s Moroccan in Lagos. I wonder if their restaurants have Togo menus...
Good golly, Miss Mali!
I’m a patriot but don’t give a damn about US sports any longer and will not waste a moment of my time watching or cheering for them.
Did they cry racism ?
Hard to win when being on the court on your knees is more important than standing up for America.
An unAmerican team - sponsored by a Chinese company, Nike. I would love to see their utter humiliation.
yeah, that's it.....
I think you are saying ‘Most of Nigeria is Christian based.’
...and yes, their defeat is indeed delectable.
Makes them get off their high horse just a little bit.
I wish the best for Nigeria, many of them become successful business owners once in the states. However the Christians are having a really hard time fighting off crazy Muslim groups, such as the notorious Boko Harem.
Nigeria gave Twitter the boot. Good for them.
