KD had an excellent game against Serbia in the opening game for both teams at the Olympics. KD was awesome and missed maybe one shot, he was on fire. Also, Jayson Tatum didn't even play a minute. facts 💯
Dude they had one off shooting night they were missing open shots easy layups everything yet they came back won u really think in 2 weeks in the real match this would be the same result? Trust me bro next time they meet usa will blow them out
@@Enmol123 that’s why yall came 7th n lost to germany last world cup, american young bulls cant make top 3 still out here relying on curry,kd,bron haha
I wouldn't disagree. last time Jalen Brown,Tatum, DMitch Booker wasn't able to reach FIBA finals.. I think they still rely on KD Bron or Steph perhaps.. none of these new kids had the guts on the international competition. a failure in the Olympics is inevitable soon to come.
This is my starting five for the USA to be effective. Steph Jrue Lebron KD AD I put AD over Embiid just because AD has just been so good defensively. He can switch matchups, unlike Embiid. He's quick, agile, and a rim protector. Embiid has been a target for being slow and hinders the defense for he would do the drop coverage on a pick and roll, where other teams could exploit in pull up 3s. I also put Holiday on the starting for his perimeter defense. On the 3rd qtr against South Sudan, his defense was the game changer that led USA to take the lead at the end of the qtr. It just balances out, offense and defense. Since their main problem right now is their defense on their starting five. Lack of box out, lack of ball pressure and quick rotations. Second unit would be Ant Booker Tatum Bam Embiid Again, Ant and Bam as their Jrue and AD. And the Tatum and Embiid can also provide some defense. But all of them can do the offense also. Tyrese and White will provide backup. Tyrese on offense, White on defense.
I hate when they try to diminished KD every time he becomes back from any leg injury he always comes back regular. They saying his age are problem like Steph and LeBron ain’t older than him. I just don’t get that.
The NBA is the highest level of basketball, with by far the most talent. The winner of the NBA are world champions for that reason The Olympics is a joke compared to the NBA. Most players don’t even participate usually, since it’s not very important they’d rather prepare for their next season
In my opinion, the they should’ve put Jaylen Brown on the roster instead of White. I’m still confused as to why they passed on him. Hopefully the team gets it together tho. These matches are way too close. I appreciate the content as a new channel myself. Great video!
@@sherkharvey5810couldn’t agree more. Derrick white is a better overall player anyways. He’s awesome on both ends. Hali is immature and insecure and reallt good at some things on offense and terrible at D, and afraid on D
Your entire premise is flawed. Lyles’ comments did not weigh into this at all. It’s the Olympics and team USA along with the players just put more emphasis on it. This is about redemption. And Lyles’ comments weren’t directed at Team USA but the NBA. Other nations have NBA players too. Most of them have multiple players
Hear me out. The best way to hand Wemby imo. Force the ball into his hands amd make him work for every shot. He is a relentless force and difficult to stop, but if you force him to do 75% of the work, everyone has their limits.
As for the "world championship" thing in American sports. The NFL has the "Super Bowl champs", the NHL has the "Stanley Cup champs". Now the MLB has the "World Series" but there are a few theories why. 1: the best players in the world play in the series. I don't buy that one because only white American Players, played in the MLB when the first world series was played. 2: it was originally referred to as "the great world's series" in some newpapers and they just ended up calling it the "World Series" maybe, sounds like something that would be true. 3: a newspaper called the "New York world" sponsored the early championship games for baseball. That also could be true. It seems to me the NBA calls it a world championship for the heck of it, or it's a good marketing tool 😂
I mean with football (soccor), europe has clearly most of the talent and they win alot of wk but sometimes a different country wins. Like you said most good players are in the nba, dont mean if they play a different team that there cant be an upset.
I believe it's fair to say that because the highest paying pro leagues in the sports you mentioned are all in the US, it would stand to reason that those leagues would attract the top talent in that sport across the globe and force them to compete against each other. Sure, Americans might have certain built-in advantages when it comes to players on the margins of top-league pro level, but I would hazard a guess to say there is a reason why Michael Jordan is still remembered across the world and Yao Ming (China's greatest player ever) is rather not. To succeed at that level against that competition requires truly transcendent talent. With basketball being a team sport, a team's success to a championship is indicative of an equivalent accomplishment - one that deserves the name world champion.
If they win gold, it should be attributed to recruiting. If Embid joined the French team, the bigman lineup of Wemby, Gobert and Embid would be too big and deep for the US centers left. Since bigs are more important in international basketball I assume this French team would cause problem to the US team.
i hope so !good luck to all may the best team win who bring the 2024 gold medal olympic mens basketball,..god bless all.see you soon 2024paris olympic...
of course USA are crowd favorite around the world! And for sure Steph, LBJ and the rest of the and coach kerr will never ever break their promise to bring home back the GOLD! let's go USA!! 💯🎉🎉🎉😊🗽💪💪🤴
These are practice runs, testing plays, etc. But still south Sudan is very good. and teams are allowed to lose games lol. No team wins every game. No team with a perfect game. That's just math.
keyboard warrior, LMAO. Noah is an olympic bronze winner. He is stating facts no matter if NBA is the best league its still a domestic sport composed of only USA teams. Its in the name "National" not "International" go back to school if cant even learn simple words
USA is poised to dominate thr Olympics... Couldnt dominate country thst didnt exits 10 years ago By the way you left out thr Aussie They have been consistently a legit contender for a long time
Commenting a second time for engangement. I will note its impossible to see what will happen until after the group stage. Maybe Jokic's ankles explode randomly and oops he is done for the olympics and suddenly Serbia looks a lot weaker overall. Same thing could happen to team USA if a couple players get hurt it could spell disaster.
KD had an excellent game against Serbia in the opening game for both teams at the Olympics. KD was awesome and missed maybe one shot, he was on fire. Also, Jayson Tatum didn't even play a minute. facts 💯
USA young guns not looking good if you’re relying on bron n steph in 2024
Dude they had one off shooting night they were missing open shots easy layups everything yet they came back won u really think in 2 weeks in the real match this would be the same result? Trust me bro next time they meet usa will blow them out
@@Enmol123 that’s why yall came 7th n lost to germany last world cup, american young bulls cant make top 3 still out here relying on curry,kd,bron haha

Counting on Bron...lmao. counting on what, not winning!?!
This is my starting five for the USA to be effective.
Steph
Jrue
Lebron
KD
AD
I put AD over Embiid just because AD has just been so good defensively. He can switch matchups, unlike Embiid. He's quick, agile, and a rim protector.

Again, Ant and Bam as their Jrue and AD. And the Tatum and Embiid can also provide some defense. But all of them can do the offense also.
Tyrese and White will provide backup. Tyrese on offense, White on defense.
Durant will be their best offensive weapon
KD is the greatest olympic basketball player of all time. KD > Lebron
I hate when they try to diminished KD every time he becomes back from any leg injury he always comes back regular. They saying his age are problem like Steph and LeBron ain’t older than him. I just don’t get that.
@@nydibs +1
You forgot to mention the amazing comeback against South Sudan.
1:25 Noah Lyles is not a hater. He's pointing out a factual truth. The NBA is a domestic league (Toronto notwithstanding).
The NBA is the highest level of basketball, with by far the most talent. The winner of the NBA are world champions for that reason
The Olympics is a joke compared to the NBA. Most players don’t even participate usually, since it’s not very important they’d rather prepare for their next season
@@tylerclayton6081 yeah yeah...
no team outside of the NBA is beating the NBA champ, therefore they are world champs by default. Greatest team in the greatest league in the world
@@Toriko481 Is the nba not the best league? Like the best players in the world are playing in it like jokic and Luca doncic.
Exactly and he should know he is the undefeated 200m champion since 2021. He is special.
In my opinion, the they should’ve put Jaylen Brown on the roster instead of White. I’m still confused as to why they passed on him. Hopefully the team gets it together tho. These matches are way too close. I appreciate the content as a new channel myself. Great video!
And KD hasn’t played a single game yet
It’s pretty upsetting
Derrick white has played fantastic. It’s just a better fit. Tyrese Halliburton is honestly the one who doesn’t fit very well.
@@sherkharvey5810couldn’t agree more. Derrick white is a better overall player anyways. He’s awesome on both ends. Hali is immature and insecure and reallt good at some things on offense and terrible at D, and afraid on D
NIKE runs this shiii!!!
There is no way you've been watching if you think Bam should get less minutes than Embiid
Great video just mic quality kept changing
We cant judge yet because KD hasnt even played
Should have an all star game of team International vs Team USA.
when you throw a bunch of number one options together and hope you win a team oriented game

Imagine if Canada also got Zach Edey, he would fill all the holes team Canada has
whoa 😮😳
And Wiggins to
Edey is injured. majority of that roster are from the NBA so I doubt they'll get a win off of the US
If they win gold, it should be attributed to recruiting. If Embid joined the French team, the bigman lineup of Wemby, Gobert and Embid would be too big and deep for the US centers left.

And another thing Zach Ed will be there for Canada so interior defense I don’t know
I agree 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯👍👍💯💯💯👍💯👍👍
of course USA are crowd favorite around the world! And for sure Steph, LBJ and the rest of the and coach kerr will never ever break their promise to bring home back the GOLD! let's go USA!! 💯🎉🎉🎉😊🗽💪💪🤴
Serbia isn't just about jokic remember they got to the final of the world cup without him i feel like bogdanovic need to get more credit for that
If you want to ask how it feels to loose the finals with an unbeaten all star team ask any Indian about 19 Nov
They’ve almost lost to SSD 👀🤯
These are practice runs, testing plays, etc. But still south Sudan is very good. and teams are allowed to lose games lol. No team wins every game. No team with a perfect game. That's just math.
They will loose some games but I don't see them losing 8 games against any team.
South sudan does not even have a indoor court in their country
about just as good as South Sudan
They not even playing their best player yet…
Steve Kerr is a terrible FIBA coach
Noah Lyles aka certified cornball
AKA undefeated since 2021 the 200m triple world champion in the 100, 200 and 4*1 relays . Put some respect on his name.
@@vuksgitau aka doesn't make him not a fucking cornball lmao tf u thought u ate just now?
keyboard warrior, LMAO. Noah is an olympic bronze winner. He is stating facts no matter if NBA is the best league its still a domestic sport composed of only USA teams. Its in the name "National" not "International" go back to school if cant even learn simple words
Only Edwards has potential to carry the NBA in the future. The rest is either not good enough or long past their prime
Bruh stated the obvious the whole video and they had trouble with Sudan.😂
Put more respect on Jrue's name!!!!
USA is poised to dominate thr Olympics...
Couldnt dominate country thst didnt exits 10 years ago
By the way you left out thr Aussie
They have been consistently a legit contender for a long time
Bro, this 2024 team is not better than 2012 USA team
Definitely good enough to beat South Sudan
USA team is blowing my mind
Dream team
Mark my words. Ball hogging and "super star" egos are going to cost this team the gold. For god sake, play like a team!!!!!!!!
Are you sure about that?
@@jackjax7921 I guess I'm just use to watching the Celtics playing team basketball.
🏀 🇫🇷 🏀 🇩🇪 🏀 🇪🇸 🏀
Team USA’s defense is quite average
They’re trash honestly. How can you call yourself the greatest team assembled since the dream team when you almost lost to Sudan of all team
Bro lebron best player
Blame Nike we winning bronze mark this comment
If they want to win they have to get rid of LeBron James because he is the worst player on that roster
Question rated: BORING!!!
weak! weak! Team USA is soft!
They'll win bronze. Don't be surprised
whats with the terrible audio
Background music probably got copyrighted. TH-cam prolly has some option to remove it with AI instead of cutting audio out entirely
Ugly poor. Defense will be the down fall. USA is not winning gold in this Olympics.

Not good actually
How good is TEAM USA made out of ALL STARS ? Well... its good enough to beat SOUTH SUDAN BY 1 POINT ?... LOL
Bronze at best
Poor chemistry should have left off LeBron
Good enough to just Barely beat Sudan.
Nobody has heard of Noah Lyles. Especially not his daddy
