- United States won gold at the 2024 Olympics but it wasn’t easy. This is a look at how tough their run ended up and who will be on the US going forward when France might finally have what it takes to win it all.
Remember when you said that steph was basically unplayable
Preach it
People just making yapping having they own agenda gives something to talk about
He said that in the first minute lol
For every game other than the last 2, that was essentially a correct statement. Can't rewrite history because of recent events now
He owned it while you were writing the comment
4 years.... You think you can predict who will be on top in 4 years? 6 days ago you thought Curry was a roleplayer.
😭
And he finish with most ppg 😂😂
Main guys were supposed to be KD bron Joel. But KD playing a bit hurt and Joel was inconsistent.
@@zavdab5238embid what happened to guy lol man he is not the same
That was a mistake. The more people doubts Curry, the more he gets stronger. But that mentality will be gone in the US and only Wemby has this mentality. He was almost unstoppable now, imagine in 4 years.
If this guy says USA won’t dominate, then USA will dominate.
True 😂
He is right, but to acknowledge that you need to have some Basketball knowledge outside the NBA.
@@fan2hd277 don't take it serious, it was just sarcasm
95: 91 is not dominance, you are a little confused
@@bakimc4722 There's always been close games getting there, but the same outcome. Getting 5 Olympic Gold in row and a 36-1 record since 2004 is definitely dominance.
This isn't a bad thing, basketball getting better and better worldwide is good for the sport.
Very true. In an American, patriotic way, we are looking at some threats here. But in an international way, this is good for the sport. There is now actual competition to care about.
Agreed. Basketball is bigger and better than ever. Its great
I'm American with an open mind. Most Americans are just insecure about this but as a fan of basketball I'm actually more happy
Hasnt gotten better since 2008 or 2004 when usa got bronze ...
@@thelastflopbiggest diff is Steph he’s like a singularity since 2015 everyone needs to shoot or counteract perimeter shooting so it’s vastly changed over time
Can we celebrate for even a day?? 😂
Umm…no. 🤣 JK
That’s what I been saying as well.
Us Americans are so spoiled and we can’t even celebrate our own country winning and being UNDEFEATED!!!
All you hear is how this player, that player blah blah blah.
Who care WE WON GOLD!!!!!
What is the joke?
No!
I don't think you even know how to celebrate.
It's never good enough. Even when we win it's always bad news. Let's be happy for some time
It's because USA fans said that they would destroy the competition easily and bragged how this team was the best of all time and then had two really close medal games, one in which they actually struggled.
@@Booper_"it doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile; winning's winning."
That's right
@@Booper_it is the best the 92 team played against plumbers now the world has some of the best players
Agreed, my compatriot.
The game is international now, and I'm here for it.
2028 France and Canada might get the Gold
More like the US are underperforming and struggling against weak teams
um bro you know Basketball is an international sports LONG ago right? US just says World champion in their national games
@@RequiemMasses of course, it’s just now other countries have strong enough programs to actually be competitive
@@mcmerry2846have you not noticed the big increase in international players coming into the NBA?
bro cant even congratulate the team
His kremlin checks cleared 🤡
@@hollister2320 USA break the rules every single play, its clear most people in the comments don't know the first thing about basket-ball and how the modern game is a joke to watch.... You never heard of the dream team being booed because they played real basket ball and didn't rely on travelling, carrying, floppping like babies etc.... It's pathetic to watch and it is ruining the game. Curry is respectable but the rest are a bunch of cry babies who couldn't play 5 minutes in 90's because they would get called for a foul every time they touch the ball... I would love to see Leflop play a game against real men and try that BS he would get laughed out the stadium lol.

Came here to comment this
And have Josh Hart lol
Scottie Barnes!!! He needs to be on the USA team. He is going to be in his prime in 2028

@@grospipo20 can't get anything past u
I agree about France but don't disrespect Serbia. They have always been, they are and will ALWAYS be an ELITE basketball team. I hope the US will continue sending their best players so we can see again legendary basketball games.
they never learn. Jokic will be 33 years old. Plus we got 5 more top talents coming in

@@user-yv7zd6vc6j sry my friend
No way you left Jalen Brunson off the list of being on the 2028 team USA team
Yeah he will be only 31
Stop hating for at least a day and appreciate what we just witnessed. Steph, LBJ, and KD got to showcase their greatness because the games were competitive.
I’ve been saying this but people been telling me to shut up. Our best players that carried us to this win will be gone by 2028.
Other players should be better by then. I think it will be USA vs France again in 2028 and France is definitely gonna be stronger.
@@SirHumano97 USA will be lucky to get back to Gold next olympics. France isn’t the only country to worry about, you’ve got Serbia, Spain, Canada, Australia, South Sudan, Germany, & a handful of other countries who will have NBA level talent on par with the US by 2028. It was easy when the US had the de facto #1 player in the league, but now they don’t, & the top 5 NBA players isn’t dominated by americans anymore either.
@yugiisama 🙄
I agree...😅😅😅 least just enjoy the moment
@@SirHumano97 In all actuality...the world's best are in the NBA thus it will always be the best american NBA players verses the best international NBA players. Another all star game.. definitely not like 1992.when the international world was young and had no talent.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Steph & KD were in the 2028 Olympics.
You trippin and what abt Zion
@@BlueBloodForLife injured in KFC
I think curry could play for them in 2028
And Kyrie
Curry has already said this is his one Olympics. I could see KD tryimg to squeeze one more in if he’s still playing at decently high level like Lebron
Jaylen Brown won’t get snubbed again in 2028
He is going to get snubbed again because the Nba is all about their brand, politics and etc
Depends on how outspoken he continues to be about corruption. Corrupt Nike execs, corrupt owners, corrupt Olympic committee , and corrupt Adam silver want obedient dogs only. Hence Tatum getting the nod instead.
You right because we already know he want be there
He’ll be a bench man regardless. Ant is him and Books shooting is too good to not have.
In four years lots can happen, ask Draymond Green, Kyrie Irving ... Not even selected
The USA basketball team always has a gold or bust expectation which sucks because every time if we don’t get gold then we have to make a revenge team 😅
Being the best around is difficult and lonely, true... however, it never _ever_ "sucks".
(....more like every other ho in town is trying to suck YOU)
The USA will be fine, but the challenge lies in selecting from an incredibly deep pool of talent. European national teams benefit from playing together for longer periods, which fosters stronger chemistry. To address this, Grant Hill needs to ensure that players commit to practices and scrimmages at least a year in advance. This will help them build rapport and adapt to FIBA rules.
Smart take brate.
Team USA will not lose at these tournaments just as long as the best NBA players choose to play. These Olympics games have been close since 2000.
it wont be in the future tho
@@jackofcards7100 if the best NBA players don't show up and there is no team chemistry we'll have a repeat of 2004. That wasn't the end of the world.
This dude is the youtube equivalent to Stephen A Smith
Nail it
We already onto what happens in the next 4 years. Come on, enjoy the moment.
Steph went from second to last in the points average to up first in just two games.
Should have been MVP
@@petezaparty5965Lebron was consistent when it mattered most. Steph popped off when it mattered most. But imo the MVP goes to Lebron since had he not been consistent, Curry wouldn't have had a chance to pop off.
@@brianjc720Jokic should be MVP of the Olympics basketball, even with a bronze. Curry won the gold for them, if curry played like the first few games they lose to Serbia with no medal.
Like what steph said.. "Don't Worry About Me"
i can guarantee that serbia will absolutely be a threat going into the '28 olympics even with an aged jokic he will still be a dominant force 4 years from now
That's common sense brate
Dude put walker kessler in dude I don’t think he’s gonna be a starter in 4 years
Deaaron fox not making it in 2028 is insane …him and Tyrese maxey would be virtually unguardable
Scottie Barnes needs to be on that team USA list
Scottie is Canadian
@@otisbanananutspunkmeyer He's from Florida
So we're basically training French players all year to defeat us in the Olympics.
😂😂😂😂 thats deep tho
They're already well trained and if they don't go to NBA they will play in Euroleague for sure. In these Olympics outside Wemby the best French players were the ones playing in Euroleague. The big difference between Europe and the USA is that at 17 or 18 the players are launched at pro level they don't wait until 21-22.
When European players go to the NBA they play worse in Olympics and other FIBA tournaments than when they come directly from Eurolegue. Many a player has regressed in the NBA.
Nice one
People are forgetting one crucial thing, the youngins. Cooper Flagg isn't the only guy in highschool right now who has the talent, dominance, and skillset to win the olympics. By 2028, there will be enough kids old enough to thrash other countries.
Ja has the chance to build himself to be the Olympic guy. That will be fun to watch.
N cooper Flagg
He gonna compete in shooting
For real man @@Li_Yifei
He's definitely gonna be the leader of that USA team
@@Li_YifeiHe can win gold in that too😊 especially if you were the target
You're a fear mongerer. Those 3 players are past their primes and still won. The new era of talent coming up will be ready, especially after this experience.
Bro steph, kd and bron are all top top 10 in the nba
LeBron is not top 10.@@stefannemanjamarkovic3786
100% all this guy does is fear monger to get clicks and views.
Jokic will still be great in 4 years. His game will age really well. Serbia will be a gold medal contender in 4 years.
Don’t underestimate Canada in the next Olympics
Don’t underestimate Poland’s high school bb team
Stoping a kid from stopping kids from saying first
#7 for France earned himself a contract for the NBA 1000%, dude played his ass off
& dunked on LeBron
And he ended James bloodline
guys just to let you know about Embiid. Its not about that he flipped from France to the USA, the main reason for the hate is that Embiid cheated his way to the french citizenship. Thats a whole different story than Banchero.
If that’s true and his citizenship was that big of a problem, why not just revoke his citizenship then? They were pissed off because they knew him and Wemby together gave them a legitimate chance to beat the USA.
@@svk_5104what do you mean legit. They nearly beat them without him.
@@Sean-pm2vd sorry, should have said better chance. Either way though, my point was about how French people were more mad and upset about him switching and playing for USA, not about his citizenship.
@@svk_5104 you're probably right. It was abit of a dick move. He done everything he could to get French citizenship and then threw it back in their faces when the Olympics came around.
@@Sean-pm2vd oh yeah, definitely a messed up thing to do and they should be a bit pissed at him for doing it but I definitely think they’re more mad about the basketball than the citizenship lol.
Quite honestly, only time will tell how much team USA's able to thrive when it's time for the 2028 Olympics. But for now, let's just celebrate and appreciate the current all time greats while they're still playing
Basically, his main argument is, any team can beat US if they don't miss shots and score more. LMAO
Hey John Madden made an entire 2nd career with those takes
I hope Steph shutting this guy up will make him realize he doesn’t know basketball 😂
With the rest of the world being competitive it makes for a much more interesting Olympics to watch. This is the first Olympics basketball I followed fairly closely. It's boring if all the teams are bad and you know the US is going to win by 50.
As a dubs fan I was not bothered by you calling steph a role player. It's how Kerr was playing him and he was struggling. It's no shock he exploded when it really counted though, it's what he does
With how good Brandon Miller was his first season, I think he'll take one of those wing spots honestly, unless he gets injured or doesn't make a big leap in the next year or two. Guy has that drive to win as well.
Jayson Tatum just won his first title and dude doesn’t even get a mention-- damn, that’s c-c-cold!!
Also was the second leading scorer in the last Olympics
This olympics showed tatum cant play high iq basketball
wrong league
Dude is just not a superstar, he's a decent all-star when he's not having an off night (50/50 toss up every night).
Plus his resume is closes to the vets now only thing he’s missing is the mvps
You’re the only basketball content creator who doubted Steph 😂
If they have Patrick Beverly on the 2028 Olympics roster they’re blowing each team out by 70
That’s funny🤣
As a Warriors and Curry fan since 5, he hit you with a 2022 (IYKYK)
The LaMelo Ball disrespect is crazy
Come on don't forget Zion dude is literal 30 ppg scorer when his healthy!!!
2028 Team USA roster
PG- Tyrese Haliburton, Ja Morant, Tyrese Maxey
SG- Anthony Edwards, Devin Booker
SF- Jalen Williams, Scottie Barnes
PF- Jayson Tatum, Paolo Banchero, Cooper Flagg
C- Chet Holmgren, Bam Adebayo
Snubs- Brunson, Mitchell, Zion, Mobley, Cade
Brown????
Some un-named future high school star may show up
Probably put Jaylen over J-Dub
@@johnnydepp4866 JDub will be too good by this point and is already one of the most versatile players in the league. Maxey and Flagg would be first cuts for others imo
I like this list we need a beefier 5 to hang with the bigger 5s along with Chet
I’m putting Fox over Morant. Mikal over Williams. And Jackson Jr over Flagg.
The disrespect to Tatum and Brown here is appalling. You really took Mikal Bridges over the reigning Finals MVP. 🤦♂️
Serbia and France had the french crowd backing them. I don't see Team USA losing with home court advantage in 2028. Americans are going to ballistic in that arena.
Love nba but serbia play better than usa in fiba rules
@@taraji59they didnt
They only had a good day shooting the ball
Oh yeah, americans are well know all over the world for their amazing atmosphere at sport events, especially at basketball games... lol.
@@TrAsH__6 I never said they are the loudest fans. I know Europe has them beat in that regard. But USA will have court advantage this time around. Instead of cheers for every bucket their opponent makes, it will be cheers for every bucket they make. Its a big advantage.
@@taraji59 You do realize in the first 2 games, Team USA blew out Serbia by 25+ points right? Serbia had a really insane shooting start but it is not something they can maintain. Jokic and Bogdan will also be out of their primes or nearing the end of their primes by then as well. Serbia are not the threat. France is.
It seems like this guy always looking at situations negatively. At the end of the day, we got gold 🥇
U.S. still has plenty of talent.
I truly feel like four years from now Anthony Edwards is going to have to be that guy overall as a whole the usa four years from now.🏀💯
So yeah you went from “Steph can’t make open 3’s, he's a role player, and it’s lebron’s fault “
To “Team USA is in trouble, they couldn’t blow out guys like Jokic and Wemby by 90 points”
"they didnt even bring any of those young guys"
They brought Bilal Coulibaly
Serbia will always be the biggest treat.
No, 🇫🇷 is the biggest threat because if Wemby stays healthy. He is going to get better, and their players are stacked over there
@@pinbarbecue1100 if jokic stays healthy he can carry another team again
@milliondollarart idk 🇫🇷 looks tough and scary!! Wemby got that 🐕 in him if he was healthy. His team is stacked more than Serbia
@@pinbarbecue1100France never plays organized like Serbia.
You didn’t watch basketball in 2008…
We can’t even relish the victory before this dude puts this out. And he doesn’t know how good players will be in 4 years. SMH
Doesn't even mention Scottie barns. Man is wildin
Trying his hardest to make the 2028 team sound bad😂
Definitely Barnes in my opinion would be on that 2028 squad. He can play the 2, 3 or 4 very effectively. I can see him being a starter for sure. I just don’t know what position it will be. All depends on who else is on the team. What we can assume is that Haliburton, Booker, Edwards, Tatum and Bam will most likely be on the team. AD and Embiid possibly could also be on the team depending on how they are doing 4 years from now. I think Lebron, Steph, KD and White won’t be on the team. Maybe KD or Lebron might be up to joining the team as legacy pics depending on how their health is doing.
So I’m thinking maybe 4-6 players might be selected to join Team USA. If I had to select 6 players right now I’d say Barnes for sure! Chet and Barnes are locks! Out of the guards I’d say Fox, Brunson or Maxey). I’d say Banchero also. Now I might not select all 3 of the PG’s I named depending on needs but at least 2 of them should make the squad. Then I’d say another wing. Possibly Flagg if he is all as advertised and if he is an all-star caliber player by 2028
I honestly don’t know if Casey be watching basketball
Barnes Canadian ain't it
@@otisbanananutspunkmeyer ... no
Booker was fantastic the whole olympics. Props to him for being mature and composed!
If Kobe came back to life and lost 19 straight games in the finals, HE WOULD STILL HAVE A BETTER FINALS RECORD THAN LeFlop. Let that sink in.
23-14 vs 22-33 in the finals.
We will always know that. He may be a so called king 👑 but MJ and Kobe are gods of basketball.

It's gonna be a while before we get the payoff but this video is going to age poorly like a lot of your other videos my dude 😅
Jalen Brunson is criminally underrated. I'd put him above Booker and Haliburton. He didn't make the team because he was injured but in 4 years I think he'll establish himself as a superstar and lock in a spot on the USA roster.
IN 4 YEARS, YOU NEED TO LOOK AT TYRONE MAXEY IN 28! KIDS NO JOKE!
Tyrese…
And you said he was a role player. Don't doubt this man.
if lebron is in the 2028 olympics he needs to be investigated
Already does.
LeBron is already subject to PED investigations, largely 'unofficial' and informal up to this point.
It is just a matter of time whether he get's Barry Bonds treatment or.... not.
He been on drugs since 2008
LeHGH
Yeah no way he plays, that'd be nuts.
The advantage of countries are that their players has stability and familiarity in their game. They don't have huge change in national team roster and are familiar with their teammates also well as their roles in a team.
I like those "old" players but mister Kerr will always play those guys even in 4 years from now, and I really hate it. How can you sit someone like Tatum not one but 2 games? that's embarrassing, he wanted to play only those guys. KD was injured before, doesn't matter Kerr loves him too much and others how have played the whole time can sit on the bench. I'm pretty sure the others would have delivered as well. They're talking about bad defense against Serbia in the semi finals, why don't you bring more defense in? Booker is great on offense but Booker isn't really known for his defense... and there's so much going on in the background per instance the thing with Nike... man what is this?
Tatum's fit was an issue because although he's probably a top 5 talent, there isn't any _one thing_ he does better than everyone else. His two 'mates from the Celtics are better defenders. KD and Booker are more versatile scorers, Steph's The Shooter , while LeBron and TH have better distro.
Nothing personal, just a matter of chemistry with this squad. At least he's not Kawhi or JB who got the (Nike) boot-out.
@@shaft9000 you're right and your explanation is great. I still think this just doesn't mean he has to sit 2 games, but lebron or kd would kick Kerr out of the coaching seat, if that would happen to them, and Kerr loves Booker too much...
And Tatum's role needs to change. He had to wait in the corner... He's more then capable to orchestrate the offense.
But yes it is what it is.
You see Vic's reaction to losing there, he didn't need any more motivation to be great but now he has the struggle arc as a part of his story. Team USA may have created a monster with this and Wemby will be a major problem for the league for years to come.
Man I just am so confused about what Rudy Gobert did to get the hate he has.
Ikr
He's a grossly overrated, unathletic "DPOY" who is lost when he has to guard anyone more than 10 feet from the basket. He gets the hate because he keeps getting DPOY votes from media clowns that think blocks are the only thing that defines defense in the NBA.
Dont forget that covid issue he did
@@FullContactCoderthen why didn’t wemby win DPOY if they only think blocks matter
They didnt want him to get roy and dpoy @dalton7726
Fiba coaches sure is tough, they're not afraid of the players and they don't sugarcoat things.
They robbed curry of the Olympic mvp. My dude always getting robbed.
tbh it don't matter because the best thing people will remember out of these olympic games is the CHEF
naaah, I'm a curry fan but it could have gone either way between LBJ and Curry. LBJ impacted each game all the way back to the exhibition. Curry showed up for only 2 games but they were massive. If it would have gone to Curry, that would have been dope but going to LBJ wasn't a snub either.
Give MVP to the guy who played the best through out the event
Should have been co-MVP’s
Always? Did I missing something?😅
I really liked the tournament this year it’s better when you don’t know who is gonna win before it starts.
The USA isn’t in trouble, they have amazing young talent just waiting for their turn.
I’m excited to see it already. Congratulations to the USA winning this year, the next one could be harder. 😯
Bro is looking like Skip Bayless more and more everyday
Maxey? Zion? Scottie Barnes? KAT? Brandon Ingram?.....
This is the last Gold medal US men will win in basketball for a long time.
😂 Everyone is acting like the USA is a small island and there are no talent left or there will be no more superstars. Literally players from other countries go to the US to get better. 🤣 US will be fine. The world got tough, not the USA got weaker.
I had this thought, but I believe in the talent and directed focus of team USA.
@@obryn both can be true tho. Both the world getting better and the US getting worse.
Who is leading this US team in ‘28?? Booker? Lmao
@@JazzYachtrocker keyword is "can" but highly unlikely. To think there is a dropoff of talent in the US simply because other countries are getting better is hilarious. 🤣 Just say you dont know what you're talking about. that's 4 years from now. who knows going to be leading it but book was great in the entire olympics or did you not watch at all?
Bro, just say you're butthurt because USA won. 😂
The avengers would have lost if the refs didn’t bail them but we ain’t ready for this conversation
Let's face it. This upcoming generation is only focus about their money, their social media their outfits not saying that they don't love basketball obviously but we are screwed. If Jason Tatum is our number one option 2028. Though he was bad these stars like Ja Morant Zion Williamson saw that and they for sure don't want to play for USA seeing how the whole Jayelon Brown situation came to fruition.
That’s true, definitely not saying it’s wrong either. Representing the country isn’t their priority.
I’d probably do the same thing (minus the social media) if I’m being completely honest with myself.
What about kyrie ?
Derrick White was an invaluable part of the USA team's success this summer. He was a GREAT replacement to Kawhi Leonard!
France really finna be the best in both football and basketball in a couple of years😮 Edit: I meant one of the best chill out
Serbia finna be even better
Still got the US winning and Spain will have something to say about that in football. I already knew Spain was a contender in the World Cup when they came up short but they just proved they will be ready for the next cup.
Spain is a real problem in footy.
Lmao. Guess you never heard of Spain??
Kyrie Irving, must be there.
at 6:10 he called lebron steph and kd young guys 🤣🤣🤣
I believe in the next 50 years basketball will be as big as soccer worldwide
Naah
Wemby shot 37% from the floor (27% from 3 point range) and shot 65% from the line. Wemby is a freak of nature and i don’t see him falling off, but his consistency needs to be worked on. sometimes he just throws shit up bc he’s 7’7 and knows there’s a good chance he gets fouled
It’s crazy the NBA brings players from other countries to play. They learn how to play ball like us and when the Olympics comes they go and play for their country and challenge the USA. And the USA have to play harder than ever.
Since this guy doesn't do it : Hello from France ! Congratulations ! Well deserved gold, it was an amazing show, I enjoyed this game ! I really hope to see both our team play it out again in LA !
Bro this guys takes quite literally the most ridiculous things I’ve ever heard
USA is still dominant. Steph will be forgotten since he didn’t get MVP despite his performance. USA has been beaten before when supposedly the world talent wasn’t as good. Thus it’s more about what the USA does and not other countries. USA was the heavy favorite so the outcome wasn’t surprising
I think you forget in 2021 in the Tokyo Olympics, USA still won with no LeBron or Steph. France will be a threat in 2028, but we still will have the most depth and just need to piece it together
I actually hate this guy and his terrible Jim Carrey Impersonation. I’m from Toronto Canada and even I know America will never lose If they don’t want to 😂
Why do people insist on insulting Rudy Gobert everytime???? Give that man a Peace!!!!!!
I get it, it's fun if you're an American to see all your favourite players dominate. However, it's probably a good thing for the NBA as a whole to have a competitive Olympics with how international the audience is getting. As well, if we're being honest the US will still probably be favourites for the foreseeable future, it just won't be a contest for 2nd place with the other teams.
U.s.a had 7 players so more then half the roster OVER 30. Times are changing fellas, more and more guys are going to be playing till 40 now and into the future
The key is continuity. If Grant Hill can get all of the top guys to commit to playing in the world championships in 2027 and to come back as a team in 2028 to play in the Olympics they will win again. While the world is getting better and better every year, the US still produces more high-level players than anyone. But the other nations keep the same players together from competition to competition. The US has to spend time learning to play together. If they can develop that continuity it will be light out.
Possibility of the NBA deploying regional NBA leagues in other countries. For example: NBA France (FNBA), NBA Germany (GNBA), NBA Can...oh wait.
You get the idea. 👍
DeAaron Fox is that 4th quarter dynamo. He is able to hit tough shots when the game is on line. Ant Edward isn't afraid take them but he also doesn't hit them either. You need Steph Curry's protege. And he's here in Ca too.
Bruh the other day you had a problem with steph, now you have a problem with USA basketball. Calm down
