Kerr (9 rings) have assistants Ty Lue (3 rings) and Eric Spoelstra(2 rings) all have NBA championship rings for coaching who also have input into decisions making , including player matchup, rotation, and team over all strategies on specific game. If there was a decision not to play Tatum against Serbia, it would likely have been a collaborative decision made by the entire coaching staff. But none of the other coaches suggest to put Tatum on the floor not only once but twice even they are losing WHY? because they see what you don’t see in the court especially during practice. Don’t worry Tatum will definitely get his silver or gold medal regardless if they win or lose and so far they are undefeated and don’t forget their main goal in Olympic is to win a medal for their country and not individual performance or to please the audience
@@BigRob901 it’s basketball, you put out your best 5 that works well together. Tatum needs the ball in his hands to be effective, but you’d rather have it in Lebrons hands. What can Tatum do that Lebron can’t?

Idk who these men are speaking to and interacting with but I’ve seen the the Olympic athletes get nothing but love. It’s clearly a big deal like y’all represent in the world and we rooting you on from home. I don’t know why nobody would take a gold medal seriously anybody who doesn’t it’s just a cloud
Think of it this way: The chance of Luka winning the NBA championship, maybe even several times, is arguably lower than him ever winning the Olympics and a gold medal or the World Cup even once with Slovenia. If you were Jokić this might very well be have been the one and only chance of you ever beating team USA and getting a shot at the gold medal in your life. You might never get a shot at it again. Meanwhile, for team USA players, as soon as you make the team you basically already have a 90% + percent chance of getting gold. And this is not saying that it’s going to be difficult and hard work to get there, but that’s just what it is. No one expects you, the underdog to beat the Avengers. But if it happens, you are immortalized in sports history. Meanwhile if you, the Avengers, lose? Now that’s something.
Only a few guys on the team can play fiba at a high level and thats kd, bron and steph. The reason is because they were brought up in an era where the nba was actually the toughest comp.
*None sense* when the second unit gets on the court is when they’ve run the lead up. Convinced most of yall don’t watch these games, just rehashing others talking points

Terrible take. Those aren't the only guys that can play FIBA at a high level on Team USA. Sure, they came up big in the most recent game, but lets not act like Curry hasn't been atrocious in virtually any other game they've played. Their experience helps in big moments sure, but Bam, Ant, AD, Derrick White can (and have) play FIBA at a high level. Our bench has saved our starters more than the starters have saved our bench. No need to discredit the rest of the team just because those 3 played a great game last game.

These guys obviously know more basketball than any of us. That being said, they only see it from the perspective of being a star at some point in their career. Quinn Cook knows what it feels like to be just a role player so he knows that it’s about having connectors on a well rounded “team”. Guys who are willing to do the dirty work without all the touches. Sure, Tatum should’ve played 5 minutes last game against Serbia. But should he getting more run than KD or LeBron who offer the same skill set as Tatum? Jrue and White are there for defensive purposes and to move the ball to the big dogs. It’s not that hard to understand, especially when up until the Serbia game, the bench unit was the highlight of this team. So yes, Tatum could’ve played a few minutes last game. But that’s about it. Kerr actually played and balanced more minutes for 10 guys than most other teams in The Olympics. This isn’t CYO or hard to figure out
Jayson Tatum not playing = Basketball Politics and fans over here debating. If you knw basketball you knw there ain’t no way a player like Jayson should be on the bench.
I mean politics but also fit. We've known since before the Olympics this was about LeBron, Steph and KD. Everyone else was picked and rotated to fit around them. JT is the same position as LeBron and KD.
@@oreoblast2012this what the guy a above is talking about you telling Me You can’t put a line up of Jt Bron Kd Steph Embiid ? Tatum plays the doesn’t mean his game is a 4 he can play and guard 1-5 he fits with any line up
so you want jayson tatum at the perimeter chasing trough screens like derrick white? standing in the corner waiting for a 3? i swear you guys play 5 centers in the starting 5 on 2k or something
KD getting his own minutes!Matter of fact, Kerr has so much respect for KD handing him two NBA championships. If he played in any of the warmup games he’d definitely be a starter. The guy came off the bench and made 💯% of his shots in the first game. Who’s that, Dwight Howard? Let me leave this msg and go.
First you say international basketball is better then you say Serbia ain’t good. You guys even follow ball? Serbia was part of Yugoslavia that was the best team WITH the USA. They were the reason nba players started coming to these championships. Then as a country they’ve produced the most basketball talent outside of the US including the best player in the world now. Doncic is half Serb, Divac, Stojakovic, Euroleague legends like Teodosic. You guys should learn something. I’m German and I know that Serbia is the best basketball nation in Europe, with only 7 million people.

Tatum’s game simply just doesn’t fit in FIBA rules. Lebron - Curry - Durant is enough and you build around that

Nobody cancels their season for Olympics around the world. What the hell am I listening to
Dwight & Boogie both got gold medals. 🏅
"Nobody cares if I make the open layup but when I miss everybody got something to say."
exactly
White is a defending perimeter guard and KD taking Tatum’s min.

bigger court heavier ball
Why don’t you invite your Taiwanese teammates to this podcast so we could have different perspectives on basketball. That would be nice
But we win everytime hahaha
US 2 billion dollar team barely beats 3 NBA Serbian guys. US should hire more foreigners, it's obvious they were desperate with Mr. Cameroon.
