Other teams have years and years of chemistry, more knowledge and experience of how the game is played internationally, and as the years goes on more and more all stars on the other side.

Jessie Owens is the greatest American Olympian ever. You really need to go research this incredible feat, and all the man faced, including where it first took place. I agree with Mad Dog on our men's basketball team. They got lucky they had Embiid, or they're looking at silver or bronze. He wasn't why we won, but he contributed enough to see we likely would have lost. t was a poor coaching job in my opinion!
If Joel Embiid wasn’t selected, then Team USA 🇺🇸 would have likely selected Myles Turner, Andre Drummond, Paolo Banchero, Walker Kessler, Chet Holmgren, or another big. It would have been shot-block city, lockdown town, and/or rebound country with whoever was selected, giving Team USA 🇺🇸 enough production to win.
To be honest, Mad Dog ain't wrong. This USA basketball team is supposed/expected to win and win big. Luckily for us, the USA team did win in the end and the results are what will be ultimately remembered and talked about.
