Big fan of DWade on the broadcast. 

Agree.  He didn’t “perform” and made great observations.

When KD faced up on the frog causing trouble... He looked like a serial killer.

Just stared him down with zero emotion on his face.

I need him for the Spurs and HEB commercials

That was about the most fun I’ve had watching an hoop game in a loooong time.

Right? Just something about the vibe. French team played out of their minds and the crowd was raucous from the start.

Steph going nuclear is one of basketball’s most wonderful sights. 

[Braff Zacklin 13,551]

Steph was in his feels after the game.

Curry shows why he’s the greatest shooter in NBA history. 

I’m not going to disagree. A game of HORSE between him and prime Larry Bird would be amazing though.

I no longer speak jive, and that's ok.

Steph catching himself before he called called Ant n***a. Gotta keep it clean for kids.

Now I'm sad that we have to wait months for the NBA season.

[TreatyOak 16,311]

Word in Washington is there's going to be a congressional hearing on the 3 v 3 debacle. It could really ugly and make the 1950's McCarthy hearings look like a game show.

We're going to have a tough time in the 2028 games.

Wut?

I would rather just skip the entire NBA season and head to the 2028 Olympics.

Nothing is more boring than the NBA season and playoffs.

[Machinator 32,099]

NBA can be very entertaining but Olympic basketball (when most of the stars choose to participate) essentially combines the best of the pro game with the best of the college game. It's on another level.

Whatever San Antonio's projected win total is next season, I'm taking WAY over. That dude is ready

Wemby was the 4th best player on the court. By the end of the season he could be the best on any court.

Human cheat code. Theres no other description.

You knew it was going to be him shooting it, you knew it was going to be from a ridiculous distance in ridiculous circumstance, and you knew it was going to go in. 

And it did. And its been that way for over a decade. 

The most spectacular player of the millennium for me, without a close second. 

[52-80 19,139]

Kinda feel for the French though. Every single time they clawed the score back to a manageable gap, team America drains a 3 and knocks them back down. Demoralizing. 

[MissingInAction 25,000]

The Lebron James to Stephen Curry pick and roll was unstoppable.

Oh and that Durant guy lurking the perimeter.

Is there any piece of information more useless than a NBA score until the last minute of the game?

28 Team ? 

Edwards

Booker 

Davis 

Bam 

Taytum 

Ja 

Zion (if he can stay healthy)

Brunson

J Brown 

Flagg 

Couple guys that emerge 

Hopefully Curry and KD 

 

i don’t see Haliburton making it next time. he gave nothing 

 

Who else y’all think? 

 

France might be the favorites in 28

even the NBA thought about offering a "last 5 minutes of any game" package

Banchero might be the best player on the team in 28

I bet Tatum is the leader though with a redemption angle

Beignet Williamson would be fun to watch vs the World under FIBA Rules.

Curry was better than a video game cheat code at the end. Who hits that consistently with double pumps and off the back foot???

Reggie Miller

Good comparison but more of a shooting and not point guard.

[Fastbreak 3,973]

Lebron wins the MVP as expected.

Wembanyama led the French team in scoring with 15.8 points, rebounds at 9.7, assists at 3.3, steals with 2.0 and blocks with 1.7 per game.

Just learned yesterday that Olympic MVP is a thing. Has it always been? Seems like a weird thing to award in an Olympic team sport.

[crash_davis 23,094]

Steph Curry in many languages.
