The final Olympic roster isn't only Reeves' call.

It's already a mess. I bet CC will say no.
Exactly. Its a joke at this point.
The Dream Team did the same thing to Isiah Thomas in 1992.
Sure but the people who put together the national teams do not have TV ratings in their job description. They’re job is to put together the best team they can and hopefully bring home some medals. NBC’s job is to sell it and get ratings. Any GM on the planet will pick win with nobody watching over have millions watch them lose.
Yep, even if they got on their knees and begged her, she shouldn’t do it. She doesn’t need them.
I won’t be rooting for them, sorry.
All the fuss about one chick who plays basketball?
Who cares?
Agreed! Everything is going woke and ruining the whole experience for many who can’t stand the woke crap!
I used to be a Nascar fan- then they went mega woke- they just ruined the whole experience-
Because Thomas was/is an ass. Jordon refused to play with him.
I didn’t say you should. I don’t give a crap one way or the other. There are no sports I watch in the summer games. I’m just pointing out the reality of the situation.
I won’t watch the games without Clark.
It's not just about basketball.
Sabrina is a white hetro. She married a football player from Oregon.
I do agree that Clark on the team will cause a disruption.
That says more about those other players than it does Clark, though.
No white guys on the men’s team.
Not very diverse, is it?
Oh really? Enlighten me please.
Your right. Isaiah is an ass. He hated Larry Bird because he was great and white. Look it up
And female?
