Today was spectacular. In 2012 I was watching the game live when Melo went off for 37. This was a dope game but we can’t get caught up in the moment. Good stuff KD
@@jayyoung141melo dropped 37 in 14 minutes, 10-12 from 3, his games better who gives a fuck when the last time they played was. It’s impressive on kd’s end but doesn’t matter when simply looking at who had a better game.
Almost every time that KD is surrounded by superstars, he shows that he is the best of them. Olympics, All Star Games and while on the Warriors (especially in the Finals). People that say curry is a better player than KD just like curry, they clearly don’t watch basketball.
@@letstalkbasketball727 definitely not how I meant that. I love KD. My point was just to say that when he is on the court with the best players in the world, it’s easy to see that he is the best of them. Clearly he is always the best player on his team whether that’s the Nets, Suns, Thunder or whoever. All of these guys look great when they play with mediocre teammates. KD and Lebron are showing that they are a level above even the best in the NBA. That’s what I was trying to say.
The only problem I see when starting AD is the chemistry between him and Bam Adebayo may be disrupted a bit, as they complement each other, they make it difficult for the opposing team to score in the paint. But based on the eye test, they should still start AD.
He doesn’t want the AD starting because then it would be people saying something about him & Lebron starting & being on the same team in the league, I don’t think he’s going to have much of a choice. Maybe he’s letting him hang himself so to speak, so everyone realizes he should be on the bench so when Joel goes to complaining later we have plenty of video as to why .
@@jluis612 Cameroon didn't qualify and Embiid knew that they wouldn't. He obviously just wanted to play in the tournament, it doesn't seem nationality mattered to him.
I "really" needed this really in-depth review. And not just for this game, for Olympic Basketball as a whole to boot? Thumbs up and newly subscribed. My prayers have been answered coming across this channel. Thank you so much for this..
I watched the whole game. KDs last shot attempt in the 4th was the only shot he missed the entire game. Absolutely insane display of skill and efficiency where Steph was having an off shooting night. Hats off to KD and Bron for near perfect performances
to get an unsportmanslike foul in fiba, it comes down to at least one of four criteria: contact that isn't a legitimate attempt to play the ball within the spirit and intent of the rules, generally excessive hard contact, unnecessary contact by a defender in an effort to stop the progression of the ball before the act of shooting, and contact caused by a defender laterally or behind the player who is progressing towards the basket with no other opponent between them and the basket. just because that one guy from serbia didn't get hit in the face by embiid doesn't mean it's not an unsportmanlike foul under fiba rules.
@@joemagarac405 can you point out where in the video? tbh I'm only a domestic level referee so I'm not perfect with these but I can provide some perspective and opinion
KD performance was for history books! Another fact Bogi was cold while KD was going ballistics also with that Serbia was 81:81 when Jokic was on field. I know this will sound crazy but this game was closer then the box score is showing. Serbia show a lot of US weaknesses that other teams will exploit. And yes AD should start, let Bam rotate and put Embiid to pass Gatorade
The US flaws are already well known, poor defense, lots of turnovers and they don’t box out But with this much talent, someone is bound to get hot shooting
wait something needs to be clarified...it's tough to play with people you never played with before, unless your name is Durant...a true baller if there ever was one!
KD in they def winning by more than 20 a game 🔥 And man Jrue so underrated he had 15 he’s a good scorer Patty mills is good for his age he had 19 not bad
Imagine you're facing the supposedly strongest team in the tournament, having a good start and KD shows up and destroys your team like nothing, what a traumatizing experience
I never saw anything like this and I saw a lot. He missed only one shot, completely destroyed us with his artillery shot, and he played maybe 17-18 min. Greetings from Serbia ✊🏻
@@ronniesnakehissiii9413 America's victory is not impressive. The city of New York has two million more inhabitants than Serbia, and Serbia would beat the New York national team by fifty points. It is the same as if the country of Serbia competed with a small village. The national team of the Balkan countries with Giannis, Doncic and Jokic would destroy the national team of America even though they have five times less population than America. Jokić does not have a single top NBA player in his team, so 26 points is an extremely small difference.
@@mlrd2687 imagine europe vs usa, usa gets blown out by 30 LMAO, i mean shit balkan vs usa and usa still probably loses. USA current team getting carried by legends of USA basketball, new generations are fucked.
Yes sir my friend has been telling us and doing the work for years! I definitely made the decision last year to get shit done regardless of time and space because it was quite easy when I made my mind up to do so!
KD had flashbacks when he was playing with the Dubs. All other work around were done for him. All he needs to do is show up and position himself. They got a ring that time.
In the beginning of the game Vanja Marinković pushed KD, it was a flagrant foul but Marinkovic was only given a personal foul. I believe this is what ignited KD to play the way he did. One of the best performances in basketball history imo
My guess on not playing Tatum or Haliburton is that, with 15 great players, SOMEONE has to sit, and Kerr will probably rotate and rest different players each game. We'll see if I'm right.
@RvLicious69 - feels that way with Embiid, Curry and Lebron. I think the starters have only went to the bench with the lead once in the 7 games they’ve played
The best possible lineup would be PG- Lebron G- (Swap Defensive Specialist) G- Kevin Durant PF- Bam Adebayo C- Anthony Davis Bench PG- Steph G- (Defensive Specialist) G- Anthony Edwards PF- (AD/KD) Situational C- Joel Defensive Specialists Swap between Drue, Taytom and Derrick white who can give maximum effort on defense being carried or unnecessary on offense.
for the embiid foul it's good to know that an unsportsman foul is not the equivalent of a flagrant but rather when the defender doesn't go for the ball, clearly here embiid just grabbed him by the chest under the arm, without caring one bit for the ball, that's why it's an unsportsman foul, the flop is irrelevant in this situation
I would like Haliburton to really show why he deserves to be on the team. Bro is actually insaaaane but never gets talked about because he's on the pacers
Well, old guys LeBron and KD took 22 shots this game and only missed four. I guess that's gonna be a problem for the opposition. Also, age declines defense more than offense.
Quick question, when you were saying you need to look up and see if KDs first half was the best half in Olympic ball, why would you not just look it up and let us know?
Because I’m trying to get this video out asap and stathead is weird with National team stats. It’s gonna take a deep dive. I didn’t just wanna rip it from an article. I will mention it next video :) Great question tho and maybe I should have just done that!
