Nikola Jokic, Luka Doncic And The Phenomenon of American NBA Fans Rooting Against Team USA
Anthony welcomes Adam Mares (DNVR) into The Lounge to talk about an aspect of The Olympics he found interesting. American NBA fans rooting against Team USA.
How much of this is unique to the situation in Denver? Would this continue in that market if Jokic left the Nuggets? Why don't we see this with Canadian NBA stars? Adam asks a fair question: Would Lakers fans have rooted for Italy had Kobe Bryant played there?
There's a lot of meet on this bone but at the end of the show, Anthony found a little time to poke fun at the Nuggets believing Russell Westbrook is the answer.

    What if I tell you Dlo just needs to play along side Vando 24/7 .. it’s like you get the best of 2 worlds with them paired . Full floor defensive awareness with Vando . And a volume shooter in Dlo .. Idk why but I keep thinking and hoping Knecht could be a huge difference maker …imagine him clicking in his first year on offense and a lights out clutch shooter . Maybe he can be the guy who replaces Dlo in the playoffs. Not likely, but wishing knecht could be this for us . Could be a difference maker for us if he clicks .

  • @herusun3654
    @herusun3654 3 дня назад

    If you say DLo is not a starting pg then Austin is definitely not one. Teams always pressure Austin when he handles the ball a lot and that would only amplify if he was the starting pg. Austin is a solid sg off the bench... They should have traded him for Murray, but they didn't. DLo needs an athletic, defensive guard next to him and he'll be fine. The guy broke the team record for 3s in a season and y'all still crapping on the man....

  • @WJGSix
    @WJGSix 4 дня назад

    I would say he's worth between 15 - 17 mil a year and the lakers could use him in the season. He can get you 3 - 5 wins getting hot from 3 in the year, so if he's ever willing to resign let's say a 2 and 1 (player option) for around that the lakers can make it work. This would also give them some room to go get actual 3 and D guards to hide him better, but the lakers also have to be mindful that if Dlo comes out of the gates super hot and his value goes up, just like when you see that stock you've held for a week shoot up by 50%, you think SELL and in Dlo's case you think TRADE right now.

  • @tuned3224
    @tuned3224 5 дней назад

    Great video and good takes. I actually think knecht and AR are going to be a really good Duo. Definitely get DLO away from AR, as I’ve seen Plenty of times where DLO doesn’t pass the ball to AR and is trying to get his. It almost seems like DLO wants to be the 3rd star and doesn’t want to let AR pass him up. Many games where DLO took more shots than bron or AD, and was not efficient. Like Westbrook, the lakers will be a different team without DLO instantly.

No way in hell you just highlighted that statistically, AR wasn’t that good and pointed all all of his weaknesses but still said he should start with Max. My guy, Dlo draws one of the opposing team’s best defenders and even with that, Dlo was still better than AR over the season. AR should’ve been traded for one of the upgrades. He’s good but he’s not that good and you along with Jovan and Jason Timp continue to overrate him despite stats not backing your claims.

    Let’s keep it real: Cam Reddish deserves that starting shooting guard spot, and it’s about time we recognize it! He’s the perfect fit next to D-Lo, while Austin Reeves feels like a puzzle piece from a different box-one that’s missing half the pieces! Cam’s got those long arms, swatting opponents like a ninja on espresso. He’s as graceful as a gazelle, if gazelles could lock down on defense! Now, don’t get me wrong-Reeves is solid, but starting him is like sending a kitten into a wolf pack. Opposing teams sniff him out like expired sushi, turning the game into an all-you-can-eat buffet of scoring. Who needs that chaos from the jump? We’re here to win, not host a scoring fiesta! Cam brings the kind of energy that makes a fox chasing a squirrel look slow. He’s a defensive wall, agile enough to make opponents rethink their life choices. Imagine the surge when he hits the court as a starter! That’s the vibe we need-a defensive eruption that leaves rivals shaking in their sneakers. And let’s not forget: Cam and Austin are practically the same age. Sure, the hype around Reeves is fun, but let’s pump the brakes. Right now, Cam’s the “most versatile shooting guard” trophy holder, no contest! So why not ride the Reddish wave? He’s got the spark to electrify the court and keep opponents guessing. Meanwhile, let Austin be the 6th man, coming off the bench like a secret weapon, ready to swoop in and save the day! With time, he could snag that Sixth Man of the Year trophy, and who wouldn’t want that shiny accolade? Plus, 2024 is a Kobe year! The Lakers are destined for greatness, and with Cam starting and Austin coming off the bench, we’re talking championship vibes that would make even the Black Mamba proud. It’s time to embrace the Reddish revolution and unleash the beast. As the African proverb says, “When the lion is hungry, it’s the gazelle that runs.” Let’s watch the Lakers rise to glory!

It's not that hard to root for them. I think it's corny to have so much fake national pride over a basketball tournament. Olympics are a time to see and learn about a bunch of teams you don't see otherwise. If I like South Sudan's style of play the most, i'll root for them to win if they can.

Other than Jokic my favorites are Chauncey Billups, Tim Duncan and Tracy McGrady. Currently, other than Nuggets players I like Jimmy Butler, Donovan Mitchell and Steph Curry. Most basketball fans are indifferent to skin color,although there are some, all the fans I know root for attitude and talent.

    Lol this is very simple.....creating fake cult agendas behind players like jokic and luka because of how they look and majority of their demographic fanbase compared to how most american players look is a HUGE part of this equation.......let's be real here 😂😂🤣🤣

      You just have brain damage. The reality is simple, US has a corny superteam, so the international players who have to hard carry players with much less talent, look more impressive. Jokic and Giannis were the best individual players in these olympics, so naturally their fans would like their accomplishments to be acknowledged and rewarded. The reason you personally see less so called "fake cult" support for Giannis than Luka and Jokic, is because you yourself have an issue with their skin color. Personal racial bias. You have mental issues and need to check yourself 😂
