    I like Ronny Turiaf as commentator. He was a solid Pro

    Okay, I’ll give it to you that we aren’t fielding our best team this year. And some countries have stars (Serbia, Slovenia, Greece…) but lack the depth the USA has. Spain might be falling behind a bit. But France has a legitimate roster and needs to be taken seriously. Wenbenyama can easily be the best player in the league in the future.

    The USA will probably always have the deepest rosters. But I won’t be surprised if we see another Athens situation in the near future.

    It will be interesting to see when our bench players are starting who is coming off the bench.

    This is LBJ’s last Olympics.

    Jayson Tatum has looked absolutely horrendous in these tune-up games. He looks awful.

    LeBron James saves the US bacon again. They're looking old and slow, it must be said.

    The Lakers owe Lebron a chance to play with Jerami Grant, even if it takes them giving up two future firsts ;)

    Ok, so, disregard Anthony Davis getting selected to All-NBA offense & defense. Taurean Prince 3&D, career high 39.6% from deep. D'Angelo averaged 18/6/3 with career high 41.5% 3pt shooting.

    this fan should check boxscores before sending mean tweets. But I suppose that would require brain cells.
