This was kind of a birth for Canadian international basketball. These guys will play frequently from now on. Adding Murray, Wiggins and maybe Shaedon Sharpe in the future. That could work out quite good.
We didn’t even have are star young players outside of Ant and Ingram. Everyone else are role players .. a team running offense through Brunson and Reaves wasn’t a team to take seriously
@@JpGreen-wq9ws I think the offense was not the problem. In the NBA it is only about defense in the playoffs imo In the last years I just watch box scores in regular season and whole games in the playoffs
@@falibaba they weren’t able to even outscore. Trae young would’ve brought a faster team , JB and Mitchell, Bam, Jarrett Allen lamelo .. I would say Ja but we know why he wasn’t invited and Zion ..

Canada demanded their players commit to 3 years before the Olympics. Because being a team means playing as a team. Showing up the day before isn’t the way to do it. Wiggins has extenuating circumstances and Murray is injured - so they are eligible for Paris.
Correction Nick Nurse said that it wasn't really followed and a lot of Canadian NBA players rightly said that's unfair because we have our literal basketball careers to focus on, new coach Jordi was more lax on this issue which is the right thing your actual career should come first because that's how you support your family. This team was constructed just before the World Cup this team didn't play together for 3 years same as USA and we still beat them which is good because our olympic starting line up will pretty much be the same with added chemistry from a World Cup meanwhile the USA starting lineup will be entirely different with no chemistry good for us.
@@dantedavis4679not sure if you are Canadian but yes the players on this roster committed to 3 years and this was year two of three, three being next years Paris Olympics. The gm is Rowan Barrett and the rule is if you commit and show up there is a spot for you in Paris, if you don’t commit then you are not guaranteed a spot. If one becomes available then they will consider other players ie Wiggins.
Take this from a Canadian. He has to get in line. Wiggins said he didn't want to make a commitment, period. So he's on the outside looking in at this point.
that is what US merdia still does not get. Every Lithuanian and german counterpart to the US players is at least a class worse most often much worse. But they had a real team and defense...
That’s true but the US has the luxury to compete with a team full of hall of famers. They are the only one who can win with individual talent alone. That’s the difference. However, It is not a very sustainable approach
@@ChaposShoota Steph adds more points, but he's a liability on defense. If they added somebody like Anthony Davis, yes they would have gotten the gold.
@@kilamoblack7532 if they have Steph they win gold lol nobody on any world team is stopping Steph, u win by scoring more than the other team. Defense wins championships but if u can score more than the other team it doesn’t matter
*_Team Canada had a superstar, Team USA didn’t!_* WHAT!? A very American response. So, you lost to a "Superstar" Schroder in the semis? It's true that they are not the NBA top players but in this 4 teams, they are still the most talented players. The other teams just wanted it more.
Saying USA has no superstars in their roster is a big disrespect to Anthony edwards and Halliburton. Like c'mon. They might not big lebron status but they are same level as shai in terms of superstar status
I'm a laker fan, I'm actually so happy for dillon brooks, people made fun of him for his performance and true he played poorly, but man he showed up for his country !! congrats to Canada
Philippines is a Basketball country , we might booed Dillon in the beginning but we saw his hard work and the fans appreciates it, we are not only Lakers fans but we are Basketball fans
I would disagree with this. Filipinos (or a lot of them) booed Brooks because that's what Americans were doing to him. They want in on that trend. Filipinos don't love basketball. They love popular basketball. They care about the big names or who's trending. Case in point: every game not featuring the US and Luka Doncic (who's very popular obviously), most Filipinos didn't pay attention.
@@adingdingdiiing6740 That was expected, A lot of Filipinos are Lakers fans because of Kobe, thats why they are boing him, as for the attendance, the tickets are expensive, 1 game 1 ticket, so a lot of people will watched who are famous. And to say that Filipinos dont love basketball, you know nothing about that...
Do you think they sent random guys off the street. These countries sent their best NBA equivalent players. They didn't face any of the best AMERICAN players so stop it. None of these teams will come close to winning in the Olympics when our best players are there. These teams won't have upgrades like we do. We're the only country that didn't send their best and you bring an American should know that as well as know that there's basketball courts everywhere in America because this is what we do and you know they'll never compete with our athleticism. You really are an American talking this UNSMART.

@@relykremok1225He isn't a superstar, though. ESPN was hyping him up to be that but he hasn't shown that yet in the NBA. SGA is top 10 in the NBA; Edwards isn't.. yet.
Countries send their best teams to the Olympics. This is a qualifying tournament. There were literally 32 teams. Should Yokic lower this ego to play for his country? Should Giannis? Other team sports do the same thing. China is notorious for not sending their best players in other sports to World Cup because the Olympics is all the publicity and action and the BEST teams go. The USA team did their job.
Seeing them put down this team just feels gross and disrespectful. They stepped up to represent and that deserves respect. Over here in Europe if a team fails at a World Cup the blame is put on the coach and players that decided to not show up. Always put respect on those that put in the work.
I like Ros’ point, the narrative the FIBA games don’t matter to the States is so detrimental to the youth. Every time you put your nation’s jersey on should be immense hunger and pride
As good as Canada was in this tourney, they need major reinforcement if they want to medal when the Olympics roll around. We desperately need Wiggins and Murray to make any noise.
Y'all can "make noise" with this team.. they will have more chemistry with each other next year.. I do agree it will be harder to make the podium but adding even good players can throw off it can actually backfire ..but if they can get Murry ,Wiggins maybe either matheran or shape it will be interesting
Team USA and Canada play exactly the same. The only difference is Canada WANTED to be there & USA was just going through the motion. They both showcased how much NBA basketball sucks, but at least Canada's players have more pride & competitive drive.
Shai needs help for sure. When Shai goes to the bench our offense would fall apart. Jamal Murray would be a great secondary option to control the offense when Shai is out.
World teams are not afraid of USA basketball anymore. It's a privilege to represent your country and in my opinion the US should have tryouts for prospects to commit to three years. But I'm sure they will figure it out. They have too many superstars. If they don't bring home the Gold next year though....yikes! Congratulation to Canada on an exceptional performance. Next up the Olympics medal podium.
So to all the NBA players who jumped on Noah Lyles for his comment, USA did lose in the semis and the bronze medal game and the commentator said "WORLD" cup. 😂
@@CirilloRucaI think you have it confused . In the nba the champions are titled world champions instead of national … that’s Lyles point . Doesn’t matter if you have talents from Europe that plays in the nba . They’re still not competing against the world teams across the globe . Sure the nba supposedly has the best players in the world playing in their league but it’s not the same when you have countries competing against other countries for the title
@@809Mornelle I know what Noah is talking about. FIBA had nothing to do with his comments which is what y'all aren't getting because you're too busy hating on the NBA.
So sad that people are giving no respect to a USA team who represented the stars and stripes. I'm sure the so called "A team" was asked... so, why did they not go? We all have to truly respect our opponents and those willing to wear our colours.
Not a fan of what Brooks did last postseason, but great to see he was bigtime with Canada winning bronze on a historical run. Wish him the best in the NBA .
This is team USA problem. They think they can just put bunch of good NBA players in a team and things will work out. Do you know why team USA was unsuccessful in this world cup. 1. They don't play like they want it. Terrible defence. 2. To much ISO ball. One guy has the ball in his hands and everyone just stands around and watches. 3. Rebounding & physicality. Jaren Jackson Jr. Your defensive player of the year, he averaged 2.9 rebounds in this world cup. The Serbian center Nikola Milutinov who plays for Olympiacos in Greece, averaged 8.4 rebounds, (to put things in perspective). 4. It's not always about the STARS. SGA played pretty bad against Serbia in the semi finals. The serbian guard Aleksa Avramovic who comes of the bench, played great defence on shai and the rest of the canada team. He had 4 steals in the game against Lithuania. 5. Latvia was my favorite team to watch in this world cup, even if they came in 5th place. The reason why is they played hard every single possession. They were fantastic defensively. Honestly I think Latvia would have also won over team USA, just like Lithuania and Germany. Dennis Schröder got outplayed by Arturs Zagars who is 21 years old. The United States are always gonna have the best players. They are the best basketball nation in the world, but they will continue to lose games against other nations until they learn to never underestimate their opponent, bring better american players to the world cup and realize that FIBA rules and NBA rules are different. There are less possession, there will be more contact. You have to play defence, you have to play with passion to win certain games.
But most of your points are inhanced by NBA rules. That is why the NBA is also getting worse and worse by the season. Just wanting more scoring and ISO ball. Less teamball and they wish for ne defense at all..
1. Team USA & Canada play NBA style basketball which is not suitable to winning consistently in INTL play unless you have all the best players in the world on one team. 2. Why do we even need all the best players when you even admitted that SGA was outplayed by someone who will likely never make the NBA? 3. Talent is the _least important issue_. The main issue is that Team USA continually underestimates their opponents just because they have the best collection of talent in the world. Even the _ B or C team_ is more talented than 99.999999% of the teams that participate in the World Cup. 4. FIBA & Olympic basketball is better than NBA basketball. The rules make it so every position matters & they don't cater to perimeter players or Superstars. The NBA has allowed nonsense in order to increase scoring which the casual fan only understands.
Canada team knows what to expect… most of the Canadian nba players played for Canada before their NBA careers… they are not strangers with the team,,, league and the rules… even the none NBA players,,, just recently,,, they were unbeatable in the Americas region… it was not a surprise that Canada took home a medal… now with the US team,,, they were actually remarkable for young players who never played together…. They still reach the semis… it’s disappointing because of the expectations and the idea that the NBA players are the best in the world and can’t be beaten…
It's the NBA's and AAU basketball's fault for using the rules to devalue the center/big man. They want all 6'10 and up players to play like guards. Bring back the illegal defense rules. Call actual players to get players open. Where sre the big man camps a day big man skills camps? Feed the post? Develop a few post players and let's see where we go from there
If I were on the team, I'd want to bring back some hardware even if it's bronze. That's a world cup medal no one can take away and is a historic accomplishment. Many of these guys will never get this opportunity again and they have zero to show for it. Big disappointment.
Potential Team Canada Roster in Paris Olympics; (12 players only) Shai, Murray, Wiggins, Olynyk, Brooks, Powell, Dort, Barrett, Alexander Walker, Mathurin, Nembhard and Lyles. Extras if their is injuries or etc Miller, Sharpe and Edey.
"Driven by hunger, a fox tried to reach some grapes hanging high on the vine but was unable to, although he leaped with all his strength. As he went away, the fox remarked 'Oh, you aren't even ripe yet! I don't need any sour grapes.' People who speak disparagingly of things that they cannot attain would do well to apply this story to themselves." An old story from Europe - Greece - 3000 years ago
I love how these 'knowledgable basketball analysts', after watching team USA losing to Germany and Lithuania, two teams without a superstar, arrived to the conclusion that the third loss was because the opposing team had a superstar. This is too funny. Did you loose to Germany because they had a superstar too? Andreas Obst gave these dudes about 26, is he a superstar? Team basketball, building chemistry and the right culture together and every player understanding their role. Playing as a team at both ends. That's what it takes to win. A superstar isn't going to cut it. I hope these people go and learn something about basketball, because it's not really about starpower, not in FIBA basketball.
This team USA deserves respect no matter the outcome. They represented their flag and fought their hardest. Sure, the so called A team that others yap about could've won this tournament, but where are they? If they pick what tournament they want to play in, do they really play for their love to the country or they just play to get a gold from a prestigious event because it's cool? I don't get why FIBA World Cup isn't the most prestigious tournament in Basketball for these players, when it is for the football/soccer players that compete in FIFA World Cup.
In 1996 I saw a team with former NBA (and maybe NCAA) players, "veterans" playing against an under-23 national team of my country. Until the break, the score was something like 47-42. During the break, some speeches were held - it was a charity event. The match ended in something like 112-49. It was a "cold" but spectacular victory. Only one of the American players could execute the slam dunk. 1-2 of them didn't even have a competitive run anymore. Otherwise, technique, defense, passes, shots at the basket, everything was exceptional.
6:23 gotta disagree here. Look im proud of my Canadian team, the main goal was to qualify for the Olympics and that was achieved. Getting a Bronze is also huge seeing how its our 1st medal since the 30's or something....that being said. When your expected to win Gold, nothing else matters. In Olympic Hockey if our Canadian team dont bring the Gold we are very heart broken and many counties/athletes feel this way. There was a World Junior Tourny a few years ago and as soon as the Swedish player got his silver medal he tossed it into the crowd. I know how Americans feel right now and i totally get it!!
I truly don't understand why there is no emphasis on the Fiba World cup. It's bigger than the Olympics. Same with Football (Soccer). Winning a World Cup is harder than winning the Olympics.
It depends on the kind of sports. Football, rugby emphasised WorldCup , Tennis the Grand Slam tournaments, Cycling the Tour de France and the Vuelta Espana, while Basketball , Volleyball, Atletics the Olympics
@seshadhri_s nope, the US is regularly capable of being competitive against Canada in hockey. Even if they've lost a bunch, they're expected to compete.
always the same with the USA. whenever any of their national teams fail, it's either 1) we don't care about that sport 2) we didn't send our best players. learn from the canadians and be humble in defeat.
The USA should be embarrassed.... Team Canada should be absolutely proud of themselves... Team USA have to understand that, they can not neglect their size for small ball against the European teams for the Olympics... especially against Lithuania, Germany, Serbia, Slovenia and France... Edwards, Bridges, Brunson and Reaves to me are the folks I would have return... but they need size, desperately.... AD, Evan Mobley, Jarrett Allen, Myles Turner, and Joel Embiid are folks we should be looking at heading to the summer of 2024. I do think that Mikal Bridges and Dillon Brooks are going to be in the running for Most Improved Player of the year. Brooks has turned me around from hating him to rooting for him to be Most Improved Player consideration for 2024.
brooks and dort contained those elite scorers USA had, expectedly though, those guys containing guys in NBA with NBA rules that favored superstars(for business), in FIBA ain’t gonna happen! this is pure competition!
Credit to Dillon Brooks, he balled out in the Bronze Medal game, With the USA flaming out and Noah Lyles comments on NBA vs World basketball debate, USA looking real bad rn
They weren't the best team in this tournament, and I don't know why it was the expectation that they would win. They had fundamental flaws that were exploited by Germany (champions) and Lithuania (perennial contender in any international competition). And the team they sent is pretty much on par with Canada, maybe even giving up something on defense. None of their losses should be considered surprising. And that includes on reputation.
USA is actually a stacked team, but i feel like they don't fit well with each other, coz u got too many guys that needed the ball to be effective, and lack of rebounder.

Team USA used to send College players in FIBA back then, now they're sending NBA players, but still failed to get a medal. That says a lot!
Good point about respecting the 2nd and 3rd place medals!
So sad that people are giving no respect to a USA team who represented the stars and stripes.
I'm sure the so called "A team" was asked... so, why did they not go?
We all have to truly respect our opponents and those willing to wear our colours.
100% agree
They don't deserve respect because they don't respect their competition
@@atlien1988That makes the players that decided to not represent their country even more disrespectful. The players that did show up deserve respect.
Put some respect on my boy DB name
And Canada didn't have Jamal Murray, Andrew Wiggins or Benedict Mathurin. Canada needs to be respected.
Not a fan of what Brooks did last postseason, but great to see he was bigtime with Canada winning bronze on a historical run. Wish him the best in the NBA .
dillon the villain, i fking love it.
This is team USA problem. They think they can just put bunch of good NBA players in a team and things will work out.
Do you know why team USA was unsuccessful in this world cup.
1. They don't play like they want it. Terrible defence.
2. To much ISO ball. One guy has the ball in his hands and everyone just stands around and watches.
3. Rebounding & physicality. Jaren Jackson Jr. Your defensive player of the year, he averaged 2.9 rebounds in this world cup. The Serbian center Nikola Milutinov who plays for Olympiacos in Greece, averaged 8.4 rebounds, (to put things in perspective).
4. It's not always about the STARS. SGA played pretty bad against Serbia in the semi finals. The serbian guard Aleksa Avramovic who comes of the bench, played great defence on shai and the rest of the canada team. He had 4 steals in the game against Lithuania.
5. Latvia was my favorite team to watch in this world cup, even if they came in 5th place. The reason why is they played hard every single possession. They were fantastic defensively. Honestly I think Latvia would have also won over team USA, just like Lithuania and Germany. Dennis Schröder got outplayed by Arturs Zagars who is 21 years old.
The United States are always gonna have the best players. They are the best basketball nation in the world, but they will continue to lose games against other nations until they learn to never underestimate their opponent, bring better american players to the world cup and realize that FIBA rules and NBA rules are different. There are less possession, there will be more contact. You have to play defence, you have to play with passion to win certain games.
Exactly, think of nba as a work place while FIBA is a world War, you have to fight to survive. Nba is just a job 😂
But most of your points are inhanced by NBA rules. That is why the NBA is also getting worse and worse by the season. Just wanting more scoring and ISO ball. Less teamball and they wish for ne defense at all..
1. Team USA & Canada play NBA style basketball which is not suitable to winning consistently in INTL play unless you have all the best players in the world on one team.
2. Why do we even need all the best players when you even admitted that SGA was outplayed by someone who will likely never make the NBA?
3. Talent is the _least important issue_. The main issue is that Team USA continually underestimates their opponents just because they have the best collection of talent in the world. Even the _ B or C team_ is more talented than 99.999999% of the teams that participate in the World Cup.
4. FIBA & Olympic basketball is better than NBA basketball. The rules make it so every position matters & they don't cater to perimeter players or Superstars. The NBA has allowed nonsense in order to increase scoring which the casual fan only understands.
@@atlien1988 facts 💯
Team USA is composed of 12 NBA players. Other teams have 1-3 NBA players only or none at all. Stop making excuses.
Canada team knows what to expect… most of the Canadian nba players played for Canada before their NBA careers… they are not strangers with the team,,, league and the rules… even the none NBA players,,, just recently,,, they were unbeatable in the Americas region… it was not a surprise that Canada took home a medal… now with the US team,,, they were actually remarkable for young players who never played together…. They still reach the semis… it’s disappointing because of the expectations and the idea that the NBA players are the best in the world and can’t be beaten…
Excuses are tools of the incompetent.
Dynasty was also voted as Defensive player of the tournament. This is a redemption tourney for him.
It's the NBA's and AAU basketball's fault for using the rules to devalue the center/big man. They want all 6'10 and up players to play like guards. Bring back the illegal defense rules. Call actual players to get players open. Where sre the big man camps a day big man skills camps? Feed the post? Develop a few post players and let's see where we go from there
Dillon saw the Jaren slander and decided to do him a favor by whooping USA. Well done DB!😂😂😂
Now if he can do that against the Lakers when it counts 🤟
That wasn’t Canada’s best Team. We had some stars out there; but with Canada’s A team in this tournament we might’ve been playing for gold medal!
USA did have a superstar, the League, Team USA, & Kerr just still can’t see the Paolo Banchero vision yet 😂
Very true I don’t think he knows how to use him though
@relaxpls-Overrated with 4 NBA championships, I don't think he is overrated there
If I were on the team, I'd want to bring back some hardware even if it's bronze. That's a world cup medal no one can take away and is a historic accomplishment. Many of these guys will never get this opportunity again and they have zero to show for it. Big disappointment.
Of course Team USA tried their best but just not enough and their efforts fell short!
They got a 4th place finish in the World Cup. I say that's commendable. They did good.
Congratulations Canada; a medal was long overdue. Maybe with re-enforcements, Canada can turn that bronze to gold in Paris.
Canada has a good squad. Don't sleep on them comes Paris Olympics
Potential Team Canada Roster in Paris Olympics; (12 players only)
Shai, Murray, Wiggins, Olynyk, Brooks, Powell, Dort, Barrett, Alexander Walker, Mathurin, Nembhard and Lyles. Extras if their is injuries or etc Miller, Sharpe and Edey.
Seemed like Brooks was supporting his former teammate Jaren who was also getting thrown under the bus unfairly.
"Driven by hunger, a fox tried to reach some grapes hanging high on the vine but was unable to, although he leaped with all his strength. As he went away, the fox remarked 'Oh, you aren't even ripe yet! I don't need any sour grapes.' People who speak disparagingly of things that they cannot attain would do well to apply this story to themselves."
An old story from Europe - Greece - 3000 years ago
I love how these 'knowledgable basketball analysts', after watching team USA losing to Germany and Lithuania, two teams without a superstar, arrived to the conclusion that the third loss was because the opposing team had a superstar. This is too funny. Did you loose to Germany because they had a superstar too? Andreas Obst gave these dudes about 26, is he a superstar? Team basketball, building chemistry and the right culture together and every player understanding their role. Playing as a team at both ends. That's what it takes to win. A superstar isn't going to cut it. I hope these people go and learn something about basketball, because it's not really about starpower, not in FIBA basketball.
This just means we'll have very fun and competitive 2024 Olympics Basketball games!
Love Dillon Brooks!!! 🙌🏾
Team USA must bring back the dream super team or 3rd major tournament without a medal!
The Top US guys are a bunch off old guys. Most of them will not come...
The dream team is no longer a dream team
Paris 2024, we got something for you. 👀
Happ y for team canada and my boy RJB for getting that medal
This team USA deserves respect no matter the outcome. They represented their flag and fought their hardest. Sure, the so called A team that others yap about could've won this tournament, but where are they? If they pick what tournament they want to play in, do they really play for their love to the country or they just play to get a gold from a prestigious event because it's cool?
I don't get why FIBA World Cup isn't the most prestigious tournament in Basketball for these players, when it is for the football/soccer players that compete in FIFA World Cup.
Ever Since the Dream Team, the Olympics have been seen as the More Prestigious Event even though the World Cup is Very Important Too.
"If this team had Bam Adebayo, Jerred Allen, Myles Turner... they would be gold medalist" hahahahahahahahahahha this guy really is not getting it
Did Germany have a superstar aswell?
no, just an overall good team
Not even a star :) maybe in Franz a star to be. But even dennis is a role player and was a bench player...
Time to call up Mike, Magic, and Larry..
In 1996 I saw a team with former NBA (and maybe NCAA) players, "veterans" playing against an under-23 national team of my country. Until the break, the score was something like 47-42. During the break, some speeches were held - it was a charity event. The match ended in something like 112-49. It was a "cold" but spectacular victory. Only one of the American players could execute the slam dunk. 1-2 of them didn't even have a competitive run anymore. Otherwise, technique, defense, passes, shots at the basket, everything was exceptional.
Congratulations Canada
imagine, if that sequence played for the gold medal
idk how people hate Dillion Brooks
Because he didn't show up in the playoffs. Big mouth no results in the playoffs 😆😆 😆
Ppl mad because he step to Bron with no fear lmaoooooo
People hated Kobe for a while too lol
@@809MornelleWow.....brooks>Kobe
@@809Mornellepeople hate pat Beverly let's compare him to pat 😂😂😂 not kob
THATS TOP 5 GREATEST CALLS OFF ALL TIME “YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDIN ME “ … lol 😂😂😂😂
Lakers fan can boo him who cares. Dillon has whole country behind him.
You can see Windy hated interviewing Brooks at that moment 😂😂
6:23 gotta disagree here. Look im proud of my Canadian team, the main goal was to qualify for the Olympics and that was achieved. Getting a Bronze is also huge seeing how its our 1st medal since the 30's or something....that being said. When your expected to win Gold, nothing else matters. In Olympic Hockey if our Canadian team dont bring the Gold we are very heart broken and many counties/athletes feel this way. There was a World Junior Tourny a few years ago and as soon as the Swedish player got his silver medal he tossed it into the crowd. I know how Americans feel right now and i totally get it!!
Brooks and Wiggins D and Shai and Jamal scoring in Paris will be scary.
I truly don't understand why there is no emphasis on the Fiba World cup. It's bigger than the Olympics. Same with Football (Soccer). Winning a World Cup is harder than winning the Olympics.
It depends on the kind of sports. Football, rugby emphasised WorldCup , Tennis the Grand Slam tournaments, Cycling the Tour de France and the Vuelta Espana, while Basketball , Volleyball, Atletics the Olympics
Congratz from Philippines 🇵🇭
Noah Lyles, please take a bow! Silly Americans! What’s up KD? What’s up Dame Time?
That Bridges play is sensational fr
He scored the first 7 points of overtime lol
USA still had 6 guys who averaged at least 20 ppg last year, so don't give me that BS
Congrats Canada ❤️🇨🇦🎉
So they cover the game for bronze but not the final, Americans 🤡🤡🤡
This is like the US beating Canada in curling
*hockey
@seshadhri_s nope, the US is regularly capable of being competitive against Canada in hockey. Even if they've lost a bunch, they're expected to compete.
Canada represent 🇨🇦🙌🏾
The Bronze matters take is spot on
It matters outside the U.S. It's Gold or go home.
@@thomascrowniii1693Nah, if you go home without any Medal, that's way worse.
@@CirilloRuca USA Don't care about bronze
@@cjfrm3658 Apparently they do since everyone is crapping on this team for losing to Canada in a BRONZE MEDAL game.
@@cjfrm3658im Germany we say: 4th gets the sheet medal
Germany & Serbia didn't have Superstars & they won just fine.
always the same with the USA. whenever any of their national teams fail, it's either 1) we don't care about that sport 2) we didn't send our best players. learn from the canadians and be humble in defeat.
FIBA World Cup Love of Game and Country. National BAsketball ASSOCIATION (NBA) Love of Game and Money (Contracts) $$$🥰
The USA should be embarrassed.... Team Canada should be absolutely proud of themselves... Team USA have to understand that, they can not neglect their size for small ball against the European teams for the Olympics... especially against Lithuania, Germany, Serbia, Slovenia and France... Edwards, Bridges, Brunson and Reaves to me are the folks I would have return... but they need size, desperately.... AD, Evan Mobley, Jarrett Allen, Myles Turner, and Joel Embiid are folks we should be looking at heading to the summer of 2024.
I do think that Mikal Bridges and Dillon Brooks are going to be in the running for Most Improved Player of the year. Brooks has turned me around from hating him to rooting for him to be Most Improved Player consideration for 2024.
SGA finished Top 5 NBA MVP race last season. Everybody knows who SGA is woman
brooks and dort contained those elite scorers USA had, expectedly though, those guys containing guys in NBA with NBA rules that favored superstars(for business), in FIBA ain’t gonna happen! this is pure competition!
Why are there 3 women out of 4 on the panel talking about men's basketball??????? Jesus ESPN

Lack of preparation and dedication did the all nba usa team
all these years of foreign players in the nba is now bearing fruits
@DennisSchroder is the GOAT! 👑
Credit to Dillon Brooks, he balled out in the Bronze Medal game, With the USA flaming out and Noah Lyles comments on NBA vs World basketball debate, USA looking real bad rn
Filipinos know how to appreciate a good player and a brilliant game
At the start of the tournament, What were the betting odds for USA not getting any medal?
Dillion brooks> UsA
Congrats to CANADA and DILLON BROOKS. DILLON they love to kick you when you are down..nice job
Mikal dropped the play of his career when 90% of US were sleeping.
😂😂😂
He got dropped in overtime 😅and loss those kind of plays have more meaning if they win 🏅
Shame on USA IF JORDAN WAS PLAYING THIS WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED SAY NO MORE.
They weren't the best team in this tournament, and I don't know why it was the expectation that they would win. They had fundamental flaws that were exploited by Germany (champions) and Lithuania (perennial contender in any international competition). And the team they sent is pretty much on par with Canada, maybe even giving up something on defense. None of their losses should be considered surprising. And that includes on reputation.
It's feel weird to see Dillon Brook looks humble in the last of this video 😮
That's the real Brooks, once you put the red and white on, it's team first.
USA is actually a stacked team, but i feel like they don't fit well with each other, coz u got too many guys that needed the ball to be effective, and lack of rebounder.
