LAS VEGAS — This is not how USA Basketball expected to open its Olympic summer.
Nigeria probably didn’t expect it, either.
If there was any expectation of invincibility for the Americans heading into the Tokyo Olympics, it’s already gone — after Nigeria shocked the U.S. 90-87 on Saturday night.
Nigeria pulled off an international shocker with a roster primarily filled of little-known NBA players that found a way to beat a group of All-NBA, All-Star and max-contract performers.

Rooting for all the teams playing against Woke America.
How did that chump ever manage to graduate from the Air Force Academy? I asked several USAFA friends. I could tell they were embarrassed by him.
After that other fiasco, with that 3 star, ASAFA superintendent, they were not real impressed with him either. Can’t say as I am either.
Yup. I’m not anti-American but these BLM leftard pukes on the team “usa” deserve to get their asses kicked.
Same here. I’m a Heat fan and Dragic is from Slovenia. And so our current FL Melania Trump..not the fugly dog called Jill.
I hate popovich for his BS anti-US rhetoric. Just retire you pompous commie asshole.
This is like North Macedonia.
Let the tattooed morons lose. Woke and done.
I hate them both.
“Give them credit.”
But, but...
American Negroes are only defeated if “Systemic White Racism”: is used against them!
“It’s Ghana be interesting”
that deserves a bump!
Funny they busted that woman sprinter for pot, why don’t they test all the Men basketball players for pot?
It is difficult to hit the bucket living on your knees.
Now for the womens’ soccer team!
Nigers.
If there ever was a Leftist Tool, Coach Gregg Popovich is it.
Stephen Smith was right. They shouldn’t have put that token white guy on the team. It’s his fault.
Luka? Does she live on the second floor? Yeah, I think I’ve seen her before...
