what they need is a LEGIT BIGMAN. the world is cathing up now in terms of skill level. i dont think they should be doing the small ball line up coz lots of European teams has great BIG plus they are not playing by NBA rules.
I absolutely LOVE the clickbaity LeBron thumbnail leading to an actually good analysis of the tournament and a brief overview of the teams in it without mention of James actually being the solution for team USA
Well, now more then a half of the teams have more then 2 nba players. Years ago we would be luck if we had just one player playing in the nba, max two!
The fact that my country (Czech Rep.) is the second smallest of them and we do NOT have any NBA super stars is pointing to the fact that brolove and chem. is more than talent alone. Tbh I think that team USA will have some problem with our guys and Tomáš Satoránský is fu*king underrated as NBA player and more of the NBA scouts should come to our country for our big and loveing community to support.
Where did you see that Maxi Kleber, Schröder and Theiss are playing for Germany? Would love to see it but reports thus far have said that they wont participate
This positionless bullshit works for the soft NBA.. but not international play. You need a true PG and not a shot bricking dude that will get you 5 assists in his first 50 minutes. You also need a true center and a big 4 instead of 5 guys taking contested 3s all the time.
The reason why I dont watch men's basketball at the Olympics is that team USA is considered as a superman. However, it looks like it bleeds now making it interesting.
The team USA needs good defensive players. Surrounding the team with shooters that don’t know how to play defense will never work. Duncan and Booker are good shooters but also not good defenders so that won’t help them.
There is an opportunity for Team USA to win, but it requires they develop team chemistry, lean back into playmaking and defense, and have some functional roles on the court. Watching Team USA try to bait for fouls, rely on isolation play, and let the other teams outwork them defensively is painful. It may be better not to integrate Booker, Middleton and Holiday when they're free, just because the disruption to the team development will outweigh their individual benefits.
Germany indeed does have a at least above okay team, but Dennis Schröder is gonna be missed nonetheless. Because he hasn't resigned with the Lakers, and his subsequent Free Agency, it's to risky he gets injured at the Olympics and won't get a new Contract in the NBA, because of that the insurance the DBB would've to pay is absurdly high. So in short, Dennis Schröder won't play for Germany.
Team USA just get bunch of 3pointers. That would be okay if they got some legit rebounders for their brickshots. Gone were the days when team USA had young Boogie, Deandre and Davis playing together.
Gotta wait and see when the stakes are up otherwise I don’t think these games say anything. Tbh if this team doesn’t win with Durant that’s ridiculous he needs to find a way to make his teammates better not just bucket. Lebron stans are praying on this downfall LOL
The USA team is not the same as it used to be... They are known to be physical and tenacious in defense that fuels their offense! Now they are totally different, sloppy defense and almost everyone wants to dribble dribble and dribble again then shoot three! For some reason, these new NBA American generations are more focused on shooting three, flopping style expecting favor calls from the referee, and social media antics. This is not NBA this is FIBA!
I hope the USA takes the losses personal. I don't care that it was an exhibition. I don't care that they haven't had many practices. The problem is that they don't play defense. They don't hustle for loose balls. They don't rebound. They don't play hard. The NBA stars are soft because the NBA is soft and most importantly the fans are soft. If the fans want a more physical game that is what the NBA will give them. If the fans want their stars made of glass bones to be healthy then the NBA will protect them.
Our players don't have the dog mentality anymore, compared to overseas players who went through real hardships in life. They play to represent their country and build a better future for themselves. We need more MJs, Kobes, Garnetts, Duncans, etc. Our players are so used to the BS NBA rules that they don't play real basketball anymore.
@@ronin2981 I will admit this, our players don't play nearly as hard as they used too. Even those previous "Redeem Teams' went hard in the paint. Of course with Kobe Bryant as a leader that explains it all.
I don't blame USA I wouldn't break down my body and the regular season around the corner fuck the shit just do what you can do Damian,KD, Draymond and the rest of y'all cause if you get hurt they gonna toss you anyway
Tbh I be forgetting the Olympics even include basketball since I never end up watching it since it ain't the main season or playoffs it's kinda hard to feel that it matters any I think it's because I spend all year watching these same guys, since the NBA is the highest level of Basketball, just on different teams so it feels like NBA-lite except team depth is thinner
Team USA no center...team USA is no longer super power now because European and Australian even African are playing basketball now they are tall and fast also

Na criminally overated.
As an international fan I am glad that other teams are capable of taking it to the US Olympic team, it’s about damn time
It'll just make the game that much better.
I see what you did there
Its been happening for years now… previous Olympics and FIBA world cups.
They need Nba refs if you noticed they still try to Foulbait but not this time😆
Damn we need this kind of officiating in the Nba for real

Noo
We have never seen Team USA Basketball this vulnerable since 2004.
Them and that 2002 team were downright embarrassing.🙄
@@405boy4Let's all be frank, Team USA don't lean on long term development. They most likely rely on star power.
@@sstar202 That actually may be their weak link. They rely on star power while these other teams have been playing for like 11-12 years.
The more competitive the better, too bad there won’t be a crowd.
I absolutely LOVE the clickbaity LeBron thumbnail leading to an actually good analysis of the tournament and a brief overview of the teams in it without mention of James actually being the solution for team USA
It's Durant on the thumb tho..?
No one talking about the loss of coach K?
Nothing to do with Coach K. The team is full of shooters who can't play defense and can't draw fouls like they can in the NBA.
they got pop
Are you implying Coach K is better than Pop? I’m asking this question objectively
@@ColonelZeta coach k is an ant when compared to pop
@@thunderhammer593 I wouldn’t go that far but I can agree that Pop is better than Coach K. By how much is debatable, but it’s a fair assessment
We have a series folks
Lebron down, kawhi, james harden, Steph curry out, chris paul.
Well, now more then a half of the teams have more then 2 nba players. Years ago we would be luck if we had just one player playing in the nba, max two!
Yes, but NBA has changed their rules since years ago.
@@CleanMusicLover229 what rules did the NBA change that led to the influx of foreign players?
My bad, when I said "more then a half of teams" I was referring to countries teams.

in my opinion, not necessarily lebron but someone who specialized on being a playmaker
Olympics going to be a bloodbath. 💪💯
Yes
luis scola still grinding 💪
2023 Redeem Team
G Morant / Fox / Ball
G Edwards / Green
C Turner / Mobley
F Tatum / Cunningham / Porter
F Adebayo / Williamson
Don’t ever doubt KD again kid
"Germany has Dennis Schröder........"
I don't know what team is winning, but I certainly know which team is FUCKED!
One bad postseason doesn't make him that bad of a player.
I am sure a decade ago if people say NBA standards would be soft compare to FIBA standards, people would just laugh at it as a joke
What happened to team selection committee in USA
JAMES
HOWARD
KYRIE
ANDRE JORDAN
ANTHONY DAVIS
Put Cash on the NBA Finals sidelines
Gone are the days that they can dominate their opponents by sheer athleticism.
Don't worry they will still win gold

The game translates, just not the bullshit calls, the problem is USA is really under estimating the competition.
Thats cap watch the slovenia lithuania game

Vulnerable? Yes. Weak? No. Congrats team USA. Though the players didn't celebrate as much as I'd they won NBA Finals.
They don't, but they could really use him to boost the team's chemistry.
why he say 'against' like that
Damn we not gonna talk about Luis Scola glo up
The USA team not only needs Lebron but the entire tune squad!!!!!
Germany indeed does have a at least above okay team, but Dennis Schröder is gonna be missed nonetheless.

Germany needs Franz Wagner to suit up.

they need a pure PG like rondo or lonzo
We will definitely take gold, because we are the best team ......
Best at getting on your knees…
We need a bigger big man
Thescoreesports> the score
no Lebon, we do not need another guy on the USA team that does not like the USA.
Canada only lost because we had no true canters if Tristan Thompson was their we’d be in
Why is zion, trae and morant playin? I know dbook and ayton is still in the finals thats why they cant play yet.
trae injured honey bun
Ayton isn’t American…
"does team USA need LeBron?"
you gotta be fucking kidding me lmao

They definitely need lebron
They won without LeBron in 2016
Steph maybe but not lebum
They need Melo
Another shooter who can't play defense
They need Lamelo
They don’t need lebron
They need some dogs and some muscle we
To far to one side

Obviously he is a very talented player, but so are the rest of the guys and this is a team sport so I don't see where he is "needed".

Nah
Said every bronsexual ever. They’ll be fine. We’re really reading a bit too much into some exhibition games
