Team USA was fried by the French in a stunning men’s basketball opening loss at the Tokyo Olympics.

The Americans led Team France by seven with under four minutes remaining, but the French scored the next 14 points for a shocking 83-76 victory at Saitama Super Arena.

Nets star Kevin Durant was in early foul trouble and finished with 10 points on 4-for-12 shooting in 21 minutes before fouling out in the closing seconds. Jrue Holiday net a team-high 18 and Bam Adebayo adding 12.

In my opinion players from Europe have been more fundamentally would for a while.

As the numbers and athleticism catch up, the USA will cement its standing as a second rate basketball power.

“Incredible what has happened to attitudes since then.”

Our pubic schools, colleges, universities, Hollywood and MSM put their cultural Marxist indoctrination & propaganda on steroids since the 1990’s.

Now, we have those brainwashed X and Y graduates doing all this socialist, queer and unAmerican chit.

Perhaps they would have won if they believed they were exceptional.

These guys don’t even want to be there.

Most professional athletes think like spoiled children and need to be motivated like spoiled children. And the more they are paid, the worse it is.

So many years I was glued to the Olympics. Now I’m actually hoping America doesn’t win a single gold and will not watch a single moment. Don’t like what it’s become.

The problem is they didn’t take enough knees and BLM virtue-signal enough.

There’s a video of the team walking down the hallway with Barkley behind Jordan and Barkley is singing “I wanna be like Mike!”.

Most of the French players are black, but what I’ve noticed between their basketball and soccer players, the black players are very patriotic and proud to represent France. It’s the Arabic players, the ones from Algeria that tend to be less so.
