LeGOAT? Really?
Are you One of Them MORONS who is calling LeTurd James as the GOAT?
Thumbs Down Dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What an embarrassment of a man Embiid is ditching his country. First it was France because ofc he had more chances of a medal with Wemby, Gobert, et all. Now US smh. I can't believe they even take him. Lets say it loud, Embiid is not from the US, neither he is from France. He should be playing with Siakam for Cameroon and try to get a medal for his country.
agreed %. Just qualifying Cameroon for the Olympics would mean more then winning gold with the US. Cameroon has never qualified for an Olympics or a world cup. Is Siakam confirmed playing for Cameroon? I know we're only 2 games in the playoffs but so far, after Jokic, he is playing the best. Will he be able to take Cameroon past Montenegro and Latvia in the qualifying tournament?
Lol
he will be forgotten.
Embiid is not even playing come on dudes is barely walking😂
@@Sceptile24 The Olympics are not for another 3 months so maybe
They are the CLEAR favourites, but if they don't win this will be the biggest embarrassment of all time
I'm giddy thinking about it.
The narrative would go so hard against LeBron if they don't win. It would be awesome to watch the media spin it.
this is the bggest mstake of team u.s....bringing back the ogs...instead of young guns...they really think they can beat the other country...oh my...see this years playoffs ogs are eliminated in play in and 1st round of the tournament...literally swept.. by other countrys nba superstars in their prime... the world is teaching america how to play basketball ...this wll be a total embarassment
@@dayaorogelio9299No they are not that old.
I actually don't think that's true. As an American, most of these NBA players are bang average. Now if this was the 1992 Dream Team that we were talking about, then the rest of the world simply wouldn't have a chance. However, none of the players that are playing in the 2024 Olympics would have even made the US 1992 Dream Team bench let alone the starting line-up.
Embiid is a snake... I wouldn't be surprised if he goes there injured, just to win something... he cried his way to mvp title... pathetic
Yall hate Joel so much lol he F your mom?
Noah Lyles got the USA so shook that they had to get the biggest hitters
All this to beat Dennis Schröder and the power of friendship
The bigger they are, the harder they fall 🤍💙
Not in this case
Jijijija
@@techr1320wait and see how the really play
Yea ok
@@elastictowels9659 USA will have the 4 out of the 5 players on the floor at all times. There’s no way they can be beat here
Team USA should play test game against Denver Nuggets.
They'd lose
Interestingly, team USA has no Denver Nuggets player in their roster. So yes, they should play a practice game vs Denver to know whether that squad is enough for world championship or not
With Jokic being Serbian and Murray being Canadian, why would they want to help USA?
@@onncga they would want to beat team USA even more. Imagine American role players like Gordon and Caldwell Pope beating Lebron and Curry and other superstars...
Denver beating team USA would still be USA beating USA….yk….since both the Serb and Canadian play for an American city😅 also worry bout the Lakers first
As an American living in Indiana, not sure this roster will be the actual Olympic roster. Embid is hobbling on one leg, Leanord as well. We will see after the playoffs who actually can make it. Even as is, it's a bit long in the tooth and I could see a well prepared team beating Team USA. Canada, Serbia, and France will all think they can win too.
If Joel Embiid picked France instead USA then the outcome would be different.....but the truth is....he should play for Cameroon lol !!!!
If Joel plays in the Olympics, that's it. His career is over. He is pathologically unable to stay healthy even when playing 60 games a season. The last thing he needs is the Olympics.
He’s spent half his life in America. He was 16 when he left for America and learned how to play basketball in America. He only started when he was 15.
Outcome would be different, as in instead of blowing out teams by 60, they would’ve only blown everyone else out by 30
@@abel_underwater And they still need international player to do that.
@@LeftoverTakeThat don’t make him American
Keep underestimating Serbia, it only makes us stronger as always 💪🇷🇸
Big love to Serbia, i’m a big fan.
Who underestimated Serbia...?
@@MegasSalavatis in the video he said he could see Serbia losing by 20-30pts to USA
@@mort996 i mean if Jok wont play i can see that, no way we can stop Embid without him
This tournament is rigged already, to avoid european countries to steal the show and embarrass the US. Only 12 teams ? that’s a joke… only 1 qualified per tournament is a joke, look at the groups in Piraeus: Slovenia, Croatia, Greece, two of these will get out, meaning you won’t be able to see Giannis and Luka together in Paris, it will be either Giannis OR Luka 👎🤬
Embiid is truly a disgrace. I wonder how Cameroonians people look at him.
What are you talking about 'his' country. People in the same country fight each other. So take your patriotism elsewhere . There ethnicity I'll grant you that.
But America is the country that gave him a good life.
Do you know cameroonians literally are at a war with themseleves right now? I dint think they care😂 dont spink on things you dont know
@@killpunkkk1097they hate him and i am cameroonian. Pascal is loved not him
@@gold6813black and white in america fight eachother too lol. And Luc mbah Moute gave him a chance before everyone and he is cameroonian.
@@killpunkkk1097and yet more ppl were shot in america than in this war..so less or more dead in country you can care then?or where is threshold for calling it war? make you make sense please..
Great roster on paper but people forget there is only one ball in a game. All these players are the #1 players on their team however that doesn’t mean anything. The 08 redeem team barely beat Spain until Kobe saved the team. 92 was the only year I remember where USA dominated by wide margins.
2014 World Cup they dominated by wide margins
and not all these players are #1. Bam, Holiday, Durant and Booker can't both be 31. AD and Lebron can't be both #1.
The haven't lost a gold medal in 16 years.
@@gabepizza and then theres guys like steph who will undoubtedly do whatever it takes to win. even if it means taking a lesser role. same with kawhi. And then there's tatum who cant be a proper #1 even when his team needs to be. so he shouldn't have an issue fading into the background
@@MadeByIsmael yes like he did in 2021
Love the old timers on this U.S. team ... I'm just a little surprised they weren't able to get Kareem and Wilt to join them.🤔😉
Heavy favorites to win it all by average of 25 pts margin. However, in one game you never know. The 2008 squad was even more formidable and yet Spain was very close to upset them . The game has evolved and in one game teams like Serbia , France, Canada or Germany for sure can bring a surprise. I think US wins it but the opening game vs Serbia will show the direction this tournament will go. Some of the stars are right now aging or injury prone and you never know.
the problem is that Emflop is playing for the USA though. you know FIBA refs are noname league refs, they will give Emflop 30fts a night.
@@slXD100 do you know that they allow more physicality in FIBA? They don’t call light contacts and flops like in the NBA
@@captainzursee3071 Emflop doesn't just sell light contact fouls, the point of flopping is making it look like you were fouled, however "hard" of a so called foul that may be. the refs give those calls because they believe the player was acually fouled while in reality he wasn't, and Fiba refs are low quality refs, so there you go. they won't review every damn foul to make sure it was a foul or a flop.. let's wait and see. I hope I am wrong and you are right.
Spanish team in that moment is the best team who play to USA team ever. I writing this as ex Yugoslavia country man. Spain has unbelievable team. Pau, Juan Carlos Navaro, Rudy Fernadez, Reyes, young Marc Gasol, other - great crew. Now all countries like Germany, Canada, Serbia, Franch have quality but this team of USA will bet them with + 20 point. Maybe Canada if Murray and Wiggins would be play make this difference low, but I am not sure. Embid is the main problem for everybody. He make 15 % of USA quality in this team.
This roster now is way more talented and skilled than the 2008 team was
Embid not American
he is now
Ewing wasn't either, yet he played for the Dream Team
Read Olympic rules
embiid is mostly american than cameroon
LeBron was playing Fiba basketball before I was even born 😭
bro you are kid :D
@@NostalgicMem0ries that’s the funny part, I turned 19 last week 😭
I hope Srbija can upset USA 🇷🇸🇷🇸
remember they are doing this for revenge, not for passion
🇷🇸💪🏀:
C:Nikola Jokic, Nikola Milutinov, Filip Petrusev
PF:Nikola Jovic, Aleksej Pokusevski
SF:Nikola Kalinic, Vladimir Lucic
SG:Bogdan Bogdanovic, Marko Guduric, Vanja Marinkovic
PG:Vasilije Micic, Stefan Jovic.
Avramovic is missing in the roster
not including Aleksa Avramović your best player after bogda last fifa world cup is disgracefull
@@LuckyLuc89aleksa will get horny when he start guarding curry
Canada has a good roster too
Gde ti je aleksa i Tristan Vukcevic?
I wonder about the average age of this team . It might be the highest in the tournament
USA has won the last 4 gold medals in the Olympics by the way.
If France , Serbia , Canada and Germany go with full squads i wouldnt be suprised if they lose once but if they dont win it will be the biggest dissapointment in their history , but honestly no one in the world is going to guard steph and kd both on the floor so its gg
Question about Embiid. If NBA announces NBA All Star format when USA players plays against WORLD where plays international players, which side Embiid will play? 😂🤔
both
Jokic owns Embiid :)
Jokic is Embiids daddy
Why does Joel cook him every time they play then 😂
@@masterofthecraft1990 why has Embiid not shown up in Denver for half a decade now?
Team USA is Going crazy this year.🔥🔥🔥
Only if they start practicing as a team as early as possible. Remember, that many national teams have a set of players that have been playing together for years (and are used to FIBA rules). It is not 1992 anymore and the Olympics are not an All-Star game. But if team USA Basketball would put in the preparation work - i.e. practicing in a training camp for six weeks - then they would be hard to beat.
I think Australia can legitimately get Kyrie Irving for their team now. Because the guy has dual citizenship and using the previous case f Elaine Gu . It’s been more than 3 years since he represented USA in any competition. 😈 yeah! And he’s used to playing with Exum and Green. Let them regret not choosing him and give the middle finger to Nike for blocking him.
durant and westbrook as young talents destroyed our turkish team in second half in year 2010 in the finals so bad, it still hurts
Imagine what would happen if this team "only" got silver or bronze
Aside from a terrible performance in '04 in Athens, they've only ever lost the gold to the Soviets a couple of times, back when they weren't sending pros.
Anything less than gold will be an absolute embarrassment.
Tatum should have an * when associated with that 2019 USA World Cup Team. He got injured in pool play in the first round and didn't play in the two games that the US lost. It might have been a different result if he played instead of having to rely on Harrison Barnes and Joe Harris as starters
everything to beat Germany...
germany is ass xdd
Embiid is the Olympic Durant, he probably knew ahead of time USA was pulling no punches and wanted his best chance at winning. He can play for France in his LeBron years.
Offensive power don’t mean nothing without a strong defense. Every player and every team can have a bad shooting night, but the defense will be what keeps them alive.
That being said, despite how potent this team is- my only concern is how well they’ll be on the defensive end.
My country Slovenija play in 1/4 final world cup 2014 with Usa. 1 half we lose only for 8. But later our best go out for fouls and Dragič was alone. We go tired and final 40 points lost. Without Luka. 🤔🇸🇮
this lineup is nuts
Embiid and kawhi won't play they are always injured
They will suck it up for the Olympics, there is a big pay check involved
A good portion of Team USA is old
Curry is the key. They will never have shooting droughts with KD and Steph. And Bron has developed into one of the best shooters in the world. This might rival the 2012 team.
But can they score on Panagiotis Kalaitzakis?
The best gift this team can do to its oponents is let LeFlop play all the time!
Prime Bron was better than any European who’s ever picked up a basketball.
Okay but prime LeBron hasn't been with us for a while has he?
@@JasonAtlas what?
@@LeftoverTake Jokic is like 100 times better than LeFraud
@@LeftoverTake LeBron has not been in his prime for the last 5 years. I am dubious as to whether he will be a benefit to the Olympic team.
Player by player the best for sure, my guess though…yep, hard to believe, Canada will have the better backcourt, as such I don’t see no 50 point win against them, a win yes but tighter than expected.
embiid and kawhi are probably gonna go but not play. still, having embiid on your team raises the chance of failure :)
Did he F your mom lol yall hate on him for nothing 😂
Wish we had yugoslavia all stars team , would be epic battle. Not promoting war , just team would mind blowing aswell , greatest duel of century. Play basket , make love peace.
Just the Doncic - Jokic duo alone would be crazy to watch. Not to mention the whole squad. That would indeed be a sight to see.
@@Not_Quite_My_Tempo yes those two would be biggest stars, but they are ttwo best players in world today, and team would look like this
Starters:
PG - Luka Doncic (Slovenia)
SG - Bogdan Bogdanovic (Serbia)

@@gabepizza yes ik, its theoretical if all current best would participate, and yeah mirotic betrayal was massive
@@NostalgicMem0ries imagine how Cameroon feels
they are the favorite but the world has caught up already. there are lots of teams that could give them a very competitive run.
Honestly all star game should be usa vs world
are they actually rolling up with a team that is on average 30 years old???
they must be the oldest team by a longshot
Let's make the basketball Paris Olympic be the greatest event in the sports history
Let’s seen how many reach healthy
I kinda hate this roster it's too old and a lot of these guys are always injured.
What are the rules that allow Embiid to play for the USA? Passport before the age of 16 ?
the rules are teams are allowed one nationalized player. They can be nationalized whenever
@@gabepizza really? I thought that there were some additional rules involved for other players who have the same ethnicity but have never played for a national team. Honestly I think that FIBA should just copy FIFA rules
@@yellowwasprakija2869 what are the fifa rules? im against nationalized players but Embiid was in the states half his life, if he doesn't count as an american, no one does
@@slXD100 FIFA eligibility is: 1. Player born in a relevant territory, 2. Player biological mother or father born on relevant territory, 3. Grandparents born on relevant territory and 4. Player has lived continuously for over 5 years in a territory after the age of 18.
It’s my understanding that a player can switch in FIFA from junior representative until a full senior representative appearance (unlike FIBA where you are essentially tied to the one nation)
Looking at the list, I guess Embiid would still be qualified to play for the US under (4)
@@yellowwasprakija2869 basically the majority of NBA players, except foreigners on theToronto Raptors, would qualify for the US under (4)
I honestly wanted to see kyrie in this Olympics because that will be fun to watch
What is canada team?
Canada will have a full squad, they binded ALL of their best player in a contract

@@intendedexpression6609khem birch??
Embid's only chance to win anything in his career is this, so he changed nationalities as they were teams to make it posible. I hope he gets injured before getting swept in R1 and can't go to Paris.
Embiid jumping around like a fish out of water hoping to find a team to carry him to a medal 😂 He might have been smarter to play with Wemby on the French team ... that team is going to have great defense. 😂
Embid together with Siacam can go to Olimpic Game with his country Cameroon 🇨🇲. But he would like to take gold medal. I don't understand him. Nobody respect that kind of person.
They better win every match by 30 or more
serbia gonna beat the crap outta these old men
It’s over now Curry Bron Kd Tatum booker Bam Anthony Davis Anthony Edward’s Joel Embiid Jrue holiday Tyerse Kawhi
There was the Dream team, the Redeem team and now the Retirementeam hahaha
Assemble the avengers!
Good luck with the FIBA traveling rules, Team USA.
gold in 2008, 2012, 2016 and 2021. I think we got it down
Serbia can defet usa if jokic micic and others come
DeRozan should be on that squad.
Isn’t Embiid a Cameroonian?
LoL... Sweet..
Magic, MJ, Barkley, Bird, Stockton, Malone, Pippen, Ewing, Robinson, Drexler, Mullin and Laettner.
im only sad that Spain is in a transition cycle and dont really have a competitive squad to fight this guys :(
And the NBA might rigged their matchup with the Knicks to appease him. NBA giving him the MVP award last season was a foreshadowing to this.
Team USA is really getting more desperate to gather all the help they can get.
He did shoot quite a bit of free throws tonight
They are the favorites to win Gold. Winning by 20 against the powerhouse teams of Europe? Maybe not.
Anything less than gold with this team is going to be a total failure. Let's see, you never know.
If Joker confirm to play, Serbia will beat them
As an American i hope Embid isnt healthy because he doesnt deserve to play for team USA
Your not American. Shut up
Europe's starting lineup would be better
Their second unit would get beat bad though
MPJ should be here
Puerto Rico is a territory of the United States of America.
Puerto Rico has its seperate "National" Olympic Committe.
Who is, juristically speaking, able to play, for the Puerto Rico "National" Basketball Teams?
Which of those US citizens, who have never resided in Puerto Rico, want to play for the Puerto Rican "National" Team, ... and why?
The "main" US team and the Puerto Rican team, will be (theorethically), in the same group [C], in Paris and in Lille!
What about hurricanes on Puerto Rico?
The French getting pissed at embiid playing for the USA is not only hypocritical but rich. If anything he should be playing for Cameroon so they have no right to cry because they stole him from his country in the first place.
The French didn't want him to play for France. He contacted the FFB (not the other way around), Siutat and Diaw listened to him and he wasted their time. But most French fans disagreed on him to play for France, just like most Spanish fans were not too fond of Brown playing for Spain in the Euro
I don't care what team usa 2024 has, it doesn't impress me one bit
Biggest playoff chokers ever lebalco and KD
Greece with giannis
idk why pther countries are bashing USA teams... if we truly brought back the best of the best to go to the olympics like we are this year, the world doesnt stand a chance. they got alittle to comfortable with no names and 3rd string nobodies were playin at the olympics.
They say the WC group is not good enough and ant man is not a good enough num1
Look at the help they got (possibly atm)
Swept by nuggets
Swept by wolves
Beaten by new york
Only celtic guys that might make it far (even this is still not guaranteed without jimmy butler)
Or maybe clipps 50:50
I know they all amazing, but just this playoffs shows how old the "help" are
So sad that this is the best team USA can trot out now. The Dream Team had every single MVP from 1984-1993 and the top 6 vote getters in 1992. This year’s team features…… a sympathy MVP from last year and none of the top four on the MVP ladder this year.
Kyrie, Dame, Spida, PG over Haliburton and Holiday
Embiid, in a truly Durant-esque move, joins the most OP basketball squad ever assembled since the original Dream Team just to win a free medal.... Cupcake no2
Most of them are out of PO or alnost there 😬😬😬
Keep in mind the referees are going to be realistic!
Yeah they are winning the whole thing
4 injury prone stars in Bron, Embidd, Kawhi and AD. Even KD may not be able to play the whole tournament
Dajte Amere da se igramooo
Noah liles is a legend if USA wins gold.
doesnt USA always win gold?
Just give the ball to LeChoke and everyone out of the way
If USA loses, we all know LeFlop will retire. Along with some others as well. USA has a lot of pressure to win with this roster. I hope we win, but there are alot of old heads on the team. We will see.
There are still two best NBA players againt team USA
Cover/ make a video about KAI SOTTO. I promise you! you'll summon millions of filipinos
Lebron assembled the Avengers
I can see you making a video after Olympics by title " Why team USA failed"
Steph is greatest shooter and they are asking him to playmake
Hali- can create for others but when required to make a shot for himself dude will struggle largely
Not like Kyrie who can takeover at anytime
Africa BC , not usa team :)
Still won't be considered world champions cuz even if they win they will be Olympic champions
Kyrie?
Well, no NBA champions in roster, Adebayo is best player here.
Is it about time lbj to just step aside and let someone else play in these games... damn this guy ego is off the chain
fuck they got jordan, isnt he a bit old ?
