Dame and CJ have been added to the camp invite list. Considering the tournament is in China, I'm expecting every player with a major shoe deal will want to go. CJ being endorsed by Li Ning prolly gives him even more incentive to try to make it. https://www.espn.com/olympics/baske...4472/sources-lillard-beal-part-usa-hoops-camp Camp invites so far: Dame CJ Beal Love AD Harden Eric Gordon Tatum Mitchell Middleton B. Lopez Kuzma Aldridge Drummond If the Olympic dudes are out (Bron/Steph/KD/etc), I fully expect Dame to get the invite to the real team and also for him to accept it. Great chance for Dame to do some recruiting.
I dont like that Dame and CJ could play in China for team usa. They need rest because next Season is gonna be tough without Nurkic for a long time
I'm very excited about Australia's chances at finally winning a medal. This is our strongest ever squad, with 8 NBA players (9 if you count Creek who played for Brooklyn, and Minnesota), with only Thon Maker (Detroit - Pistons asked him not to play), and Ryan Broekhoff (Dallas - his wife is giving birth, poor timing) missing. Deng Adel Cleveland Cavaliers (NBA) Aron Baynes Boston Celtics (NBA) Todd Blanchfield Illawarra Hawks Andrew Bogut Sydney Kings Golden State Warriors (NBA) Jonah Bolden Philadelphia 76ers (NBA) Xavier Cooks s.Oliver Würzburg (Germany) Mitch Creek South East Melbourne Phoenix Matthew Dellavedova Cleveland Cavaliers (NBA) Cameron Gliddon Brisbane Bullets Chris Goulding Melbourne United Joe Ingles Utah Jazz (NBA) Nicholas Kay Perth Wildcats Jock Landale Partizan (Serbia) Mitch McCarron Melbourne United Patty Mills San Antonio Spurs (NBA) Brock Motum Anadolu Efes (Turkey) Ben Simmons Philadelphia 76ers (NBA) Nathan Sobey Brisbane Bullets I'm surprised how short the tournament is, only 15 days. I'm also looking forward to the Australia v USA warm up games in Melbourne at Marvel Stadium, on August 22 and 24 (that's 21 and 23 for you lot). Both games have sold out the over 53,000 capacity roofed Australia Football stadium. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get tickets.
They'll be working out and running scrimmages anyway. I don't think this makes much of a difference. If anything it's better for them. They'll have enough R&R afterwards.
Damian could also get hit by a bus. Live life to the fullest. He should go get a gold medal. It's an honor.
Great team indeed, but we (Greece) are gonna destroy everybody with Giannis. Just kidding our rest of the team sucks
Yes in fact it is harsh, it is just our coach instead of coaching he should be running a tavern or something like that. We got some quality Euroleague players.
Both equally? Because the Australian team didn't do too much wrong IMO. The Philippines team were classless thugs, with them starting it and like 10 of them stomping on an Australian on the ground.
