Well the US unbeaten streak will extend to at least 2032 lol

Not that it means a whole lot now, Wemby has improved and has more support around him, but Emiid went for 70 when they played during the regular season.

Seriously the NBA routinely has teams down 15 and then a few minutes later they're up 10 lol. The three point shooting of the NBA is uncanny and a major reason I don't watch the league. That said today I was as American as Apple Pie rooting for the US

If France play physical, tight defense and keep hitting their threes and shots in general, they can push the US, like Serbia did.

You don’t beat the US in basketball. You just pray they take a quarter or two off and hope you can hold on. Hell Serbia got 3 quarters of it.
Seriously though, will be weird to see the US team in 4 years. Will be a hell of a lot of turnover. Still will be more than likely a favorite but won’t have any “superstars”.
I think they need a team like that. Team does look old and slow a bunch.

I think there is a chance they will. They will have the crowd behind them obviously. But I don’t think they’re as good as Serbia.

There have only been 4 triple-doubles in the history of the Olympics, and LeBron has two of them.
Crazy to think Serbia had the upset in their hands and gave it away I think Serbia were the only team that could beat USA

Seeing France in the finals for gold in basketball is weird to me. Anyone can explain how they got good othrr than them being the host country? I'm legit curious. I lso don't really follow basketball/nba much so I don't know shit, which probably makes sense Seeing France in the finals weird.
Wembenyama is a truly generational talent. Still young but already can dominate games. Gobert is a 3 time NBA all-star. And then they have some good NBA players like Batum, Fournier, and Ntilikina. And having the home court advantage doesn’t hurt.
Honestly everytime I turned it on it was some swimming event hahah. Watched some rugby, volleyball, running events. As previously mentioned don't follow basketball so didn't get a chance to see any of the games. Learned something new today.
