tatum didn't get benched cause of his defense, he got benched because kd and lebron are better offensively than him people were trying to make the argument that this team might not win gold humans say some of the dumbest things sometimes smh
@@roronoaDzoro1111 Yeah I agree. My point was that defense *would* be the argument for him to get some of those minutes, and I elaborated on why I feel LeBron and KD could make up that ground.
Y’all need to stop with this « If this guy was this height he would be this », you have to understand that if AD was 7’1 instead of 6’10, then he wouldn’t be nearly as mobile, quick, agile, endurant, coordinated ect … It’s like the people saying Iverson would be the GOAT if he was 6’6 lol, if he was 6’6 he wouldn’t be the most explosive and endurant player in the league, there’s a reason why guys like Lebron, MJ, Shaq, KD, Giannis, Wilt, Zion, Wemby or even Jokic are generational athlete, because it’s not normal to be that athletic, skilled, coordinated, agile, mobile ect at this size … And if we can say if Iverson was 6’6 he would be the GOAT, then i can also say if Wemby was 6’6 he would be the GOAT because imagine how athletic, skilled, mobile, agile ect he would be at that size, even at 7’4 he move like fucking Paul George or Tatum, so if he was 6’6 he would have a 50 inches vertical, he would be faster than Westbrook and more coordinated and skilled than Curry or Kyrie 🤷🏾♂️Same for Zion, what if he was 230-240 pounds instead of 290+ ? Even at that weight he has a 45 inches vertical, so he’d have a 60 inches vertical if he was 240 🤷🏾♂️You see how dumb this is now
@gilly2026 defensively maybe. Offensively his guard years hurt him before he hit the growth spurt. It’s like playing big is unnatural to him. That’s why he struggles with contact and physicality. And he’s always falling. He relies too much on his shooting over the top. I don’t think Sabonis is the better player, but he’s great at defending AD.
Ngl i don't say they will, cause i don't think so either, but if Germany is playing their best basketball they are the only team to actually have a chance at beating this team and i wouldn't be surprised if they do. But yeah this team is beyond unfair. Embiid finding his rhythm as well btw, but i don't actually blame him that much for playinglike he does, cause he needs the ball in his hand and isn't used to not being the absolutely 1st option. Also its obviously way more easy for guards or forwards to adapt than for centers.
germany has to play perfect all 4 Qs really or get big enough lead early ( team usa has been real slow in the 1Q, something to take advantage of ) to sustain and trade buckets to even win. TEAM USA can go off any quarters and just blows the game open.
You saw a basketball thumbnail with one of the most famous players in the league, a channel called hoops venue and thought the title was about war? You're not very bright huh?
The world is terrified because the USA has the best basketball players in a world where nobody else has played basketball until very recently. It's like the reverse of the World Cup. USA Soccer gets all hyped because they have two guys who play in elite world leagues, while every other team has rosters filled with guys playing in elite leagues all the way down to the end of the bench. Fact is, Team USA is filled with NBA stars. My only qualm is that a few of them are too old to be playing in the Olympics. But that's more of an indictment on the NBA than anything else. Lebron, Curry, KD... they shouldn't have to be out there. And they almost had Kawhi out there in his mid-30s and a knee issue. There's gotta be more superstar NBA talent in their prime so that you don't have dudes like this playing in the offseason.
Id personally have gone with a less star filled team tbh and focussed heavily on flexibility id have gone PG: Curry SG: Jrue Holiday SF: Jeremy Grant PF: Lebron C: AD BENCH KD Booker Naz Reid Dereck White Aaron Gordon Alex Caruso Dereck Lively
@@sambo416 all of the dudes in this list can play at minimum two positions and the stars should have enough scoring power Lebron Curry KD and Booker would be the main offensive players with AD and Grant as complimentary guys who can give you twenty or more if needed but mainly are supporting stars. The remaining guys are complimentary both offensively but especially defensively if you think that the US team can't survive without having 10 plus elite scorers that's pretty sad especially when the other guys are going to be shutting down the other teams best player. As for versatility both the starting lineup and the first five guys off the bench are legit lineups that would smoke teams. Then you could have a super size line with Bron Kd Grant AD Naz which would be problematic for smaller teams or a small ball team with Curry Booker Caruso Kd Gordon. Multiple different three guard lineups ie Curry White Holiday Bron AD. Or replace Booker or caruso at either of those spots or Naz for a stretch big the team I put together isn't the most talented but you gotta give me line up flexibility
2017 KD he was an ATG offensive player (top 10) while being borderline elite/elite defensively,KD also more resilient and reliable in the playoffs in his prime (2012-2021)
How do you think a team full of US team snubs would perform? Guys who didn’t make the cut or were injured. Brunson, Mitchell, Brown, Zion, Chet, Randle, Jackson Jr, Barnes, Banchero, Kyrie, Fox, Allen, etc.
Not very good. Brown and Mitchell were on the fiba World Cup team that finished 7th I think. While Brunson was a no show when they needed him at the fiba World Cup team that finished 4th
@@nydibs yeah, Reaves, Mikal and Edwards were their leading scorers I believe and the team lacked size at the big position with Paolo, Portis and Kessler. Ingram was underwhelming too
@@nydibs neither of them were on the team that finished second. Brunson is also a much better player than he was last year. That teams issue was size and rebounding, and these snubs include great rebounders like Randle and Jarret Allen, as well as good rim protection with Chet, Allen, and JJJ.
@@resinct3267 - yes they were. Mitchell scored 16 points and Brown scored 8 in the 7th place game vs Poland Tatum was supposed to play as well but was injured for the tournament
That team I honestly think would struggle to medal. It does have a lot of star power, but almost without exception its full of guys that play exclusively as heliocentric 1 man offenses who can't play off the ball or limited off ball players who can't create for themselves or their teammates. I think the terrible fit on offense, the lack of guard and wing defense, the abundance of small guards, & the total absence of switchability would have this team struggling.
You did a great job glossing over Stephen Curry’s abnormal slump. You really you can take the percentage from his last three seasons and not his most recent numbers? ☕️
Correct. I will never use a 3 game sample size to evaluate a player’s shooting ability. And neither will the opposing defenses who continue to hug him as soon as he crosses half court regardless of how many shots he’s missed.
@@HoopVenue very true! But other than that, he sort of seems like a liability on the court if he can’t make shots. He’s already not the strongest defender. I’m a huge curry fan and I think he’s going to show out in these elimination games. Nonetheless great video, I was being too analytical and hard on the greatest shooter ever
Eh not terrified of them. Nobody is it’s literal common sense that they would be as good as they are. They literally have the top players in the world on one team. That’s not terrifying. What would actually be terrifying is if they beat every team by 70 instead of almost losing simple games.
Terrified is a stretch !.. maybe they concerned n worried but cmon almost every team has nba talent n play against KD for 6 months a year, they not terrified or haven’t seen KD before, stop w the click bait titles @Hoop Venue
