How is the Olympics a basketball tournament of the best players N the world 🤣🤣🤣
@FirstthingsFirst @WhatsWrightShow Can whoever runs this channel PLEASE communicate to the producers to stop nick from making every basketball take an opportunity to prop up Lebron and every football take to prop up Mahomes!? I like both guys, and everyone on this show. But these constant go-to's are starting to feel like Undisputed. And I'm very interested in their takes on other stuff!
What did they think of Summer League, the draft, the incoming rookies, the offseason moves/trades, what should other teams do? Why not use a little of this offseason time to talk about other teams that don't often get much love? Even talking olympic basketball (which is a good idea), can every day not be about Lebron's legacy? What are the holes in the team they wish they could fill? Who do they predict to be on the roster four years from now? Who amongst the competition has made names for themselves? What NBA players on foreign teams played worse than expected, and what does that mean for the upcoming season (ex. Rudy Gobert, Jamal Murray, etc.)? What about Adam Silver potentially pushing for expansion?
And that's just NBA off the top of my head. Lebron and Mahomes are both dope, but the content is starting to feel stale.

Masterclass one for the ages Olympic epic game.
Joel - closing the gap
Lebron - for the tie
Steph - for the lead
KD - with the dagger!
And the refs? Robbed Serbians
Pretty accurate take
I'm honestoy disappointed with some NBA players....12 NBA players are happy and jumping becaus they finally managed to beat Nikola Jokić. I'm sorry that Joker gave complexes for all time.
@@milkajovankabroz7111 hahaha. DIsappointed becuase your country didn't win. You should have the advantage because you are very familiar with the system but still you lost to a newly formed team.
Every bucket from thia was like game winner 💪👏 and I was surprised that KD take this on him to close . Cheff finish game with the pose after free throws. Man thx Serbia for making it like this . Jokic is ridiculous, friend once told me "He just make look basketball easy" straight to the point and accurate 😂🤷♂️ I mean whole tournament not only this game
At the end of the game, Bron was like, where's Steph, Steph was like, where's Bron, KD was like, where's my phone.
🤣 🤣 🤣
Underrated
This game was the most exciting game since Game 7 of the 2016 Finals.
Literally
Agreed
Say less
I agree
More exciting than any game in this years Finals that’s for sure lol

His second best player was Bog and took Team USA to the brink. What an embarrassment
@@trentmcquarrie9271 Flip the script and give either kd, Steph, or lebron ONLY bog as a valid 2nd option. If they managed to push a game against a super superteam to only 4 points, those American fans would say, wow look how (insert American player name) carried that team! Sheeet, I'm hearing talk that lebron is currently "carrying" this USA team towards a gold. He's "carrying" this team, but no props to jokic, according to some.
U know nothing about basketball or u u didn’t watch the game. lol
Wait Steph’s hit that performance “only” 9 other times?
Who else even got that performance more than once?
I think he was trying to say that Steph hitting 1 of the 10 in a clutch Olympic game was crazy.
You fans should be embarrassed that this game was so close. The USA is exactly 127 times bigger than Serbia and has multiple Hall of Famers on their team. Give just one of those guys to the Joker and he dominates the world.
@truthhurts837 The top 50 players in the world are in the NBA. From number 51 to 800, it is very unclear. Its not only The U.S underrating Europe's talent, it's even Europe too. Some of those Serbian guys looked like NBA Allstars
@truthhurts837 the international players are now just as good as nba player 👏 it's no knock on USA. It's not 1990 anymore. These international teams would have beat those early USA team. Like the dream team. Absolutely
Duncan Robinson probably hit that once. Fastest guy in nba history to 1000 3s.
I STOOD UP in my living room yelling at the tv...... yelling..... cheering..... almost crying.... but this may have been the BEST DAY i have ever had to be an American...... one question.... WHY in the world are we fighting each other here in america?????? The power we have TOGETHER.....

Serious question. I appreciate your perspective but I can’t feel the same way. Barely beating a country with six million people and only one great NBA player does not seem, to me, to inspire too much patriotism. Beating the Soviets in the Miracle on Ice unexpectedly is something to inspire patriotism.

Embiid did get a season with Jimmy Butler who is about as driven a player as you'll find and always turns it on come the playoffs.

I mean giving to much credit to Joker. Joker was a liability on defense at the end and just nothing on offense. He didn’t play the best player in the world in every game vs America especially yesterday. The best was Bogdan or one of the nameless guards that couldn’t miss for 3 quarters.
Now you wanna say Bron is an icon Wildes? Seriously? Dude has been an icon for a decade.
i dont know how nick didnt push back on that lmao that was ludicrous
Thats what I’m sayin’
Tatum playing is irrelevant. It’s about winning. That’s all that matters.
Facts
A guy with 5 straight first team all nba selections not even playing in the olympics and healthy is irrelevant? Name 1 other player in history with that distinction that is a DNP-CD for multiple games in the olympics and in their prime.
So they won’t win if Tatum played? 😂
Steve Kerr is creating a monster in Tatum and we're watching his origin story unfold right in front of us
Jaylen brown winning finals mvp should have sparked that fire internally (pre Olympics)
Or he’s braking him mentally.
Kerr is basically telling Tatum he’s not on the level with other stars and it might diminish him mentality
He's not doing any of this fringe bs theory. He's coaching the team to win. If someone doesn't play, then they don't play.
@@OmegaLevelEnt Ben Simmons was destroyed mentally with a few words from coach rivers.
Tatum is planning on killing the Warriors in season
Tatum shouldn’t play for team USA after this b.s.
Totally agree he must play in that final game.
Agree, he should not even have made the team. We have MUCH better players in the US.
If tatum is that soft, he doesn’t understand an ounce about who kobe was and what he stood for. Tatum will use this as fuel if his mentor taught him anything. Tatum finds himself in a similar position that kobe found himself in playing with shaq with everyone doubting his excellence despite what he had accomplished up to that point. Tatum has to go out and prove how great he is like Kobe did.
@@paulmartin2348All-NBA 1st team the last 3 seasons and 2nd leading scorer for Team USA in Tokyo, but clearly he's not good enough. Brilliant take. 👍
NBA ball is different from FIBA ball. Maybe Tatum is just better at NBA ball?
That might be the worst proposed trade in the world involving ANYTHING
If lebron retired next year and was closer to being washed maybe he was about to be 41 not 40 and steph was in year 18 at age 38 going into 39 by the next playoffs then this trade makes sense...

That 4th quarter was like watching the basketball avengers. Lebron was Ironman. Steph was Dr strange or spiderman. KD was vision. Embiid was the hulk or Thor.
Also a good topic for a piece: who is who

That game will go down as the Steph game 25 years from now not Lebron that game belonged to Steph
Give Lebron the 9 of 14 from 3 and Steph the triple double with solid d on Jokic in the 4th and you’d still say it was the Steph Game.
@@latarribell4152 triple doubles don't win the game the game is about putting the basketball in the basket..if Curry doesn't go Super Saiyan 2 they lose Lebron's triple double didn't win the game come on now
@@JC91284 you missed my point completely. But the committee didn’t, which is why they named Lebron the tournament MVP.
I find the spin on Lebron hard to listen to. Serbia's team was basically Jokic and a bunch of randoms and they almost won that game. USA had a bunch of top 20 current players on the roster. If it wasn't for Steph's stellar shooting, USA was going to lose that game.
They beat them 3 times two in blowouts. Serbia just got hot from 3 calm down lil boy
It was the 3rd time in a week and a half to play the same team. Of course they were gonna do better. And theres like 4 or 5 nba players on that team whos shots were falling. It'll be like me saying if those 3s dont fall Serbia gets blown out again. The reality is they did. And the US still won
if it wasn't for the help of the referees, the USA would never have won, Serbia gave them a basketball lesson
Steve Kerr's resume is Mark Jacksons 😂
As a Spurs fan.... I'm down
nice trade but the spurs gotta get bronny too lmao
I don’t think Wildes remembers Gary 😂😂
The Olympics enhancing legacys know 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Kerr has showed he has no idea how to coach this team. The team has more talent than the next 3 combined and Kerr goes to hero ball. What a clown
Winning when you’re the hands down favorite does not carry the same weight as losing in that situation.
But if they would've lost you sure would have made sure to laugh and finger point to LeBron. You would make sure to bring the loss up every opportunity you got.

Exactly! I’m so confused why people are not pointing this out more. Dude has not played well at all in the minutes he has received. Actually has looked pretty lost and uncomfortable.
What had Steph done before this Serbia game in this tourney??? Steph was shooting 25% from three before this game
@@LemonPepperStepper Steph did this to Serbia twice. But he’s the one on the floor getting guarded out deep, giving us the spacing we need. That’s why his +\- is so high.

@@dcdj35 if you don’t like Tatum or Celtics just say that. In no world should Holiday or White get minutes over Tatum. Their defense was getting shredded yesterday.

Why do you think he was direspecting? He was actually paying a respect to him with celebration. There was nothing disrespectful. To be honest refs pushed you a bit, bit it was not needed as we ran out of gas in the 3rd quarter. We played over our limits the first half and had a crazy ending of the third. But that was it. We knew we will lose as the fourth quarter started. But there was no disrespect, you are the ones disrespecting other nations.

Nonetheless, France will play their 4th olympics gold medal game in history, and last 2 years the no.1 pick of draft was french which is sayin smthg, still the world dont know yet theres a third french guy coming next year who may be the best of them all, guess France will be THE big threat in LA 28 and Brisbane 32 when the old superstars Lebron, KD and Curry will no longer be there anymore...

Agree with Wildes, that can become major motivation for a repeat chip.
Not playing Jayson Tatum this year imo probably has 0 bearing on whether or not Team USA wins gold cuz this roster is just ridiculous. But when you treat a superstar like this, you risk alienating him, and it will come back to bite them in 2028 if he declines the invitation to the Olympics in LA. I like Anthony Edwards, I like him a lot but with KD, Curry, and Lebron reaching the ends of their careers soon (I’d assume), the Team USA roster for the 2028 Olympics is gonna look a lot like last year’s FIBA team and I don’t like that teams chances in winning gold without Tatum.
I think Jayson Tatum is done with the USA team simple as that
Tatum isn't a superstar.
Anyone that knows basketball understands that KD has been the difference maker for team USA, regardless of him starting or not.
Absolutely.. because he's plug and play a walking bucket
Facts, KD and Book, to be honest
Bronze 2022
WORD!!!!

Easy with the glazing guys. They literally won in Tokyo and Rio without LeBronze
I can't take Nick Young swallowing LeBron every second
If Bron wins Olympics MVP at 39 that’s a legit add to his legacy
Jason Tatum has not been playing aggressive enough.
He haven't really played. Embiid havent not played great at all until this game. Come on now.
People calling Lebron and Steph cringe for their celebration at the end don’t get it, these guys are both in the twilight of their careers on teams that have no championship aspiration imminently, unless things drastically change, this is likely the last time we’ll see them in a high stakes-championship type environment
Also, they were in the moment, and it's a big one. They don't care what people think about how they choose to celebrate, they've had cameras and criticism around their every move for years. Personally, I thought it was a special moment, to get this experience on the same side for once, as allies instead of enemies.
Most of those people NEVER ACTUALLY PLAYED pickup basketball. Closest basketball experience they have might be with 2k.
Lakers on paper are a championship team. That’s a false narrative. If Hakeem can win with Vernon Maxwell as his number 2 and Kenny smith at the 1 bron and AD can win. And if they can’t Hakeem should be in the goat conversation

The only way it works is if lebron and curry demand it in return for all they’ve done for their respective franchises. That being said, both of these guys could’ve gotten out a while ago (especially lebron) and chose not to. Aging stars like this should take pay cuts and team up more often
Stop assigning all of this to Steve Kerr. Do you guys not realize or understand that Eric Spoltsra and Ty Lue are coaches also? You guys are goofy
True but their not the head coaches it’s still his game plan and he have final say
Exactly, I highly doubt Kerr running this team like a dictatorship, media just wanna create a controversy to get clicks.
They’re just assistants though they don’t have final say, no one ever brings up assistant coaches on NBA teams but now they’re supposed to hold weight at the Olympics?
@@memebobs9011😭🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@memebobs9011 lol Lue and Spo just assistant coaches 😂 They are championship coaches, not just any assistant coaches, I am sure they hold a lot of weight and got together and came up with the game plan.
I actually feel Bron just reached his prime....!!!
If you surrounded me by 10 hof(minus Tatum and white) I’d be lookin like I’m in my prime to

@VideoRandomChannel oh well, just wait until season, and look at last season, look how he guards bigs and smalls...since Tony Parker and Tim Duncan Days 😳 😂
Nick is my favorite sports commentator as of now
i love this show man
Pre-watch prediction: Nick is going to spend at least 3 times more time talking about LeBron than any other player
Ding ding ding
Keep in mind. When talking about kd they said the Olympics has no impact on his legacy
Cry on 😢😂
Yeah exactly, Jokic was going up against the USA not lebron. lol
@@CashMoolah00 Cornball!
IMAGINE IF LEBRON WAS THE ONE WHO SCORED 36 points with 9 3 pointers made…😂😂😂. Good lord the media loves to glaze.
There acting like he did💯😭
What’s more impressive than that he has the only two triple doubles recorded in Olympics history 😂
They say stat padding i better than shooting shots that keeps your team in distance to catch up.. le media are worst. 🤦🏻♂️
@@rendellgrecia6305 I mean bro if you look at it which one do you think is more difficult to get a triple double or 36 points?
@@Reloaded_24_7 For the US only. Other player have had triple doubles.
The LeBron glazing at a all time high
As it should be
Dudes 40 and just shutdown the best player in the league on defense in the last 5 minutes…
@@_will795 LeBron didn't shut down anybody.
Contradictions after contractions. You all said the Olympics don't count for the all-time GOAT debate. You want to compare what LeBron did to what Joker did, but don't want to factor in that LeBron was playing with all of the greatest players in the NBA or at least seven of the top 20 players on his team. How is that equivalent?
Durant's only social media failing was the burner accounts, but otherwise. It's just gold. Lol.
🧢🧢Curry definitely gon get asked to play for USA again
He'll be retired by then. This is it for him, kd, and lebron as a collective.
Nicks takes on tatum are so tired
The Tatum stans being loud is so odd. Ya'll not watching games, Tatum can't hit a house with a newspaper right now.
You are 100% correct about Jason Tatum! His shot has gone south since the playoffs and has continued on the international stage. He got some minutes in an easy game against Brazil and was still bricking even missing on dives to the basket. But the blind witnesses keep insisting that he should be on the court..JT confidence is shot right now. Probably will not get any minutes in the final unless it’s a blowout for Team USA.
He’s not the only one struggling with shooting but yet he’s the only one catching DNPs also the last game he played he had 10pts and 10rebs
