As an American, I’m happy to see the patriotism in the comments and that’s what’s beautiful about international sports. But I don’t think the narrator is hating, rather ringing the alarm and if an American said the same thing the reception in these comments would be different. we are lucky to have 3 top 15 players at the same time, we needed all 3 to win this year and in all likelihood we won’t have 3 players that good in 2028 and beyond. So with the worlds talent getting better there is definitely reason to be concerned and if we want to win we need to send our best of the best. No more load management!

Also, if Ja Morant cleans up his image the next 4 years he will be considered for Team USA.
I can dig it. These new young men are extremely narcissistic. Tatum feels that he should play bc of his newly minted status of NBA champion? There is the best, and then the best of the best. No one is going to sit down James, Curry, or Durant, for the likes of Tatum. He’s good, but not great. He needs to learn, that the win comes from accepting that the men playing is needed in that moment. It's a one-time shot that should be aimed at to kill, and that's why Embid, Antman, etc.. Was benched.
"Team USA was carried by 40 yr olds lol" "The American players have huge egos and terrible mentality" "They don't have proper defense and teamwork" As someone from the outside looking in, what I hear is: "The euros got beaten by 40 yr olds lol" "The euros got beaten by a team from a league riddled with huge egos and terrible mentality" "The euros got beaten by a team from a league that has no proper defense and teamwork" Honestly, the moment the NBA actually tries to build and cultivate teams dedicated for international play, the rest of the world has no chance. Legendary players won't even be needed.
Yeah, not winning gold in LA would be even more embarrassing than it would have been this year. And (this is a key point) no one has the slightest clue where the most talent will be after that. The players who will start for Team USA in 2032 and '36 are probably still teenagers. You can't predict potential results that far out.
They assemble a completely new team and compete a few weeks later in the olympics. International teams commit long term and have a system in place. Chemistry takes time
Since Athens 2004 the States realize that they need to play as a team, but europeans play better as a team with worse players. USA can win the gold medal but without a doubt with a worse team like this one they need to play even more as a team. It’s evident that without Curry there would have been no gold medal.
Its obvious you don't know what chemistry is 🤣 sure they have chemistry but not anywhere close to a team that plays together over years. The US skills overshadow this flaw, but when the skill is no longer a differential then the gap between the US and the world will shrink.
The Tokyo team shows we can win when we field role players. I feel the issue isn't chemistry but coaching as I feel we haven't invested in a quality coach that can get guys on the same page. @@666Snav

This is stupidity. We act like all these European players won’t age. Jokic will be 34 other good role players will be older as well. Edwards, morant, Tatum should all be top 10 players in 2028. What he’s forgetting is the big 3 are all old. All past their past but had some big moments
Kyrie ain't in that group. Dude already struggles to get buckets in big games give it 4 more years he will be an old man. NOPE. PG probably not either but I love the rest of your list
This video is 100% accurate. You guys are acting like Serbia didn’t take this years team (arguably a top 3 Team USA) to the wire. A better coach woulda probably seen the game out better in the 4th
“And they had to rely on a 40 year old LeBron…” say it louder for the clowns at the back that can’t see how much weight this man has shouldered for over TWENTY YEARS !
Your statement is an indictment on the world not on the USA so the world can’t beat a 40 year old LeBron James. the USA is very deep and won’t have a lack of talent so the world needs to stop crying and keep practicing
the world is happy that they beat usa team B last year. and they got beat by old lebron kd and curry. imagine them in their prime in olympics? not even a fight.
I don’t know, as soon as USA won 2024, I immediately began to wonder “what will we do in 2028?” Probably no Lebron, Steph or KD…though there is a small chance KD could come back if his body will allow it. Lebron has basically said he is done after this one. He said “I can’t see myself being at LA2028.” Though the fact he now lives in LA and it is happening in LA, I’m sure it must be atleast a little appealing to Lebron. And a 43 year old Lebron on the court for one last ride would be quite the story.

Um... Jayson Tatum won the NBA chip with Celtics! HE was supposed to be USA's best player and got BENCHED!! I'm curious who'd be leading after Lebron, KD, and Curry leaves!
@@sab-vl4jg Exactly Kerr should of just benched KD, Curry and Lebron and see what the newer generation is made in Ant and Tatum and see if they are capable of leading this team to victory. The newer generation they are relying on the OG's to actually win them games. A 35 year old KD, 39 year old Lebron James and 36 year old Stephen Curry should not be your best players they should just be their for the ride.
@@trick1809 Because it's NOT good for the future generation of US basketball!! Mostly it's been KD leading the previous two Olympics, then LeBron/Kobe beforehand. This one was Steph Curry. But these players are all now on their late 30s and SHOULDN'T be the ideal best basketball players US should rely on anymore!! When they're gone, that's when I'm curious to see the US!! Jayson Tatum was a disappointment!! USA recently lost the FIBA world cup without the old players involved.
@@trick1809 Ya you right neither Tatum or Anthony Edwards want to be the reason Team USA lost so better to hide on the bench behind the OG's in Curry, Lebron and KD. This is the reason why neither is going to be the face of the league by this reason. Both is too scared of the moment and dont want that pressure but Wemby no moment is too big for him and he shown vs Team USA. This is his league Ant and Tatum just lives in it.
him, paolo, chet, ron holland jr, jalen williams, dillingham, reed, etc. We're not in terrible hands, people forget our 6th man would be the best player for certain countries.
The biggest problem for USA dominance in FIBA tournaments is the fact that USA born players will care more for an NBA championship rather than a FIBA world championship or an olympic gold medal.
@@sab-vl4jg Because America is not Europe. America is still very much isolationist, the city on the hill and all that. It's the same reason why Football means 1 thing in the entire world and something else entirely in just the US, and why Football(soccer for your Americans out there) is the most popular sport nearly everywhere in the world but isn't even a top 4 sport in the US. American Football, Baseball, Basketball and Ice Hockey are all still well ahead of actual Football in the US. Basically Americans only care about what happens in America. They're very self centered like that. Anything that happens anywhere in the rest of the world simply doesn't matter nearly as much to them, unless it directly affects them in a major way that is. That's why American athletes, especially those from the above mentioned big 4 American sports, care more about their precious American championships, misguidedly called 'world championships' by the very same self centered Americans, than any international competition.
@@Owlr4iderno it’s not because we’re iso whatever the heck you’re talking about it’s because for the last 30 years it’s been harder to win a nba championship then a gold medal and an nba championship among all fans around the world is just looked at better on your resume then a gold medal and that’s just because we always win maybe when it gets more competitive it’ll change but for now it’s just to easy
@@yahirzavala-nm9ur No, just no. It's not harder to win a NBA championship than a gold medal, or for that matter a Euro-League Championship or even a local league like La Liga. It's just that the US is the cultural leader of the entire western world, for better and for worse, and the NBA has always had incredibly marketing worldwide. That's why people care so much about the NBA, not the so called 'difficulty' of winning it.
I actually agree with this assessment that it is not a guarantee anymore that the USA will win the gold medal going forward. USA just squeezed through to the gold with their best team available this time around. Even close to losing against Serbia and France as the Avengers. This is good because it makes watching international basketball more exciting now.
You’re overlooking the pool of players that will develop and become the “next” whoever. Cooper Flagg was giving NBA players workout at Team USA scrimmages. Let alone the development of AE, Chet Holmgren, JT. To say they’re not as talented seems a little far fetched. They’re younger and backed down to the big dawgs. In four years they’ll be the big dawgs
You would have said the same thing in 2012 with Kobe carrying that USA team to Olympic gold. You acknowledged that the US have star studded talent they’ll mature with the competition in the years to come. Anthony Edward’s averaged around 13 points this Olympics more than Lebron. We have no idea what will happen in the next 4 years
No, in 2012 Europeans were not as dominant as today, European teams were still afraid of Team USA and you were winning by 20 points every game. Today, USA has to fight to win by 10 points with an avenger team ! Top NBA prospects are not American anymore, MVPs, DPOYs, ROYs, are not Americans, etc.. That’s the difference with 2012.
What happened in 2004… Since that Olympics the States knew that they have to play hard if they want to win, and this time it was the hardest one (in Pekin it was hard but this time not just the final).
Actually Lebron averaged more points , rebounds, assist and a higher fg% then Anthony Edwards just an fwi don’t be making shii up and he was unplayable in the semis and finals if you watched the games
@Salutatoi99 All people like to do nowadays is talk, Devin booker, Tatum and many younger guys will step up. Sure it won’t be as good as the literal greatest of all time but you act like the USA isn’t still gonna be the best team 😂
@@yahirzavala-nm9ur My fault was not talking about Olympics was talking about showcase matches, still impressive, and we have plenty more volume scorers than ant.
The modern NBA players don’t understand FIBA play. Those who played under Coach K, KD, LeBron and Curry know and dominated. They lack FIBA fundamentals, but play the same olympics under NBA rules. The youngins would dominate. It’s like taking a taking Usain Bolt (a career 100m and 200m sprinter) and telling him to run in the 400m within 2 weeks of practice. Yes he will struggle, but given more time he will still win.
@@atlanta1290 iso works in NBA cos of spacing and talent level. Guys like Kobe, LeBron and Kyrie thrived on isos. That’s what inspired the younger gen. But some guys like Tatum and ANT need to realise, they aren’t good iso ballers.
I'm going to keep it real. I half way believe your theory, but we don't technically know since other players didn't play. Curry , James, and Durant. did have to rest somewhat. And others never really got a chance these last few games. Kerr was ragged on by many and he knew that, so he had to win, and he pick the best of the best to go down to the wire with. Antman and crew will be back again in 4 years and their generation will call them the O.G.’s carrying the load.
Something that concerning the most is the fact for next international tournements KD, LB and curry probably will not play because they are too old and the next gen of USA players are good but not enough to face this international teams. I think this might be the last gold for USA.
That was 18 years ago. European basketball is growing year after year, which is why with each draft now there are more and more young European talents, and the MVPs are no longer American. We'll see what happens in 2028...
I’m Scottish, so I’ll take that good luck. But im not salty, I’m acknowledging a dynasty. But am also pointing that the US relied on 3 generational guys who won’t be there going forward. And in order to sustain THIS level of dominance, either USA Basketball has to fundamentally change or they find a new curry, Durant and LeBron.
DKM is fishing for views and could not help himself trying to put drama on it with 'this is the last Olympics' I mean anyone can see that Wemby, Jokic, and SGA are capable of leading a squad to gold. So for sure its not out of the realm of reasonable speculation that Team USA will not have an easy road but come on now why not just celebrate the Gold and speculate who will be the team leaders in 2028
@@DKM_Sportsu forgot to mention cooper flag who played against this team USA roster and looked like the best player at just 17 when he’s 21 he’ll dominate and if Zion Williamson stays committed like he seems to be rn no one will be able to guard him and health won’t be a problem over 6 games. The truth is this will be as close as the internationals will get in the next 10 years.

@@them4580 "what team he plays for? " LMAO I see u dont quite understand the concept of National team... Why not other superstarts just get USA citizenship and join the team?...Cuz they got some respect, unlike the bum MVP of yours
Although the USA Olympic team have chemistry but they don’t know how to play together efficiently as a team. Apparently European teams knew it better. Watch today’s Warriors, they are playing European basketball now and cooking. I think Steve Kerr leaned a lot from the Olympics🎉
Dang. Very timely video. So proud to be an American today but I told my brother the same thing. This is the last time we can throw our best players together a month before the Olympics and win. We need 4+ year commitments (bare minimum) from guys so that they can play, practice and grow together.
What doesn’t help is the aau system here in the US we’re stealing our youths chance too. We’re going to see the shift soon if we don’t get our act right.
Buddy posted when the next 4 years actually come and instead of a predetermined guess okay, literally talking about guys who haven't hit their prime and are just starting in their first Olympics aside of Tatum... chill the hell out burh
Gotta love how Joel Embum snubbed France, didn't play for Cameroon, and had to get his stupid ass carried by 87 year old lebron. Also, tyrese haliburton ain't getting any minutes GIVE HIM MORE MINUTES
Of course USA would always send substantially stronger line up in Olympics . USA would always win Olympic Gold in basketball unless they send line up that's similar to 2019 or 2023 FIBA World Cup
@@DKM_Sports Team USA will be the favorite to win Gold the next 10 Olympic cycles. I would love to see a Ja Morant, Anthony Edwards, Jaylen Brown, Zion, Myles Turner lineup with Embiid, AD, Brunson etc. You may not think the next group of NBA players is going to be all world but I see them being just fine
we here you. the world has gotten better. if the U.S. brings some size they will continue to win. thats the only reason they have had problems in the last 2 world cups.
This is mostly right. You are off on the analysis of traditional centers. The modern pick and roll game combined with high percentage 3-pt shooting and big men who can drive makes old school centers problematic. We saw this in the women’s game with Griner sitting on the bench
8:51 I do agree with this line of reasoning. The NBA is a business and started to go away from the way Americans played the game and became so enamored with how Euros played the game. Euros were always known as soft finesse players but the NBA is seen as less physical than Europe now. That’s a huge self inflicted problem that needs addressing. Silver wants that Euro money though so, he’ll promote their players over the locals.
The thing people don't understand about team USA, is they're not practicing for more than a few weeks together before facinf teams thats have way more practice and chemistry because a lot of those teams have a core, and coach who know them. If USA took longer, got a dedicated coach. They'd do much better, while our team had so much talent, the consistency wasn't there because eveyone wanted to have their shine. Teams with 3 or 4 superstars and the rest high end role players is the best arrangement.
the thing dumb americans doint even understand about the world stage of basketball : its easy to win when 50 united states of merica are playing only 1 state of Europe alone at a time... team Europa would completly DESTROY that poor little thing that is team USA EASILY as if they were not there, because America simply doesnt know how to really play true basketball thats why all the best players of NBA will be all europeans after end of carreer of Lebron, KD and Curry.
France had an American on their coaching staff slot of international teams star players are American, it’s clear international teams take Fiba far more serious than American players. If Team USA was the full roster of the Warriors minus international players they’d still blow international teams out by 50points not cap.
I was thinking the same thing. Everyone is saying USA lost fiba World Cup because we sent our C team. When you actually think about it, that will be our A team with a few changes in 2028😭
There is no pleasing some people. You will find something to complain about. All the negative is horrible. Anyone with eyes could see the obvious points you pointed out, so why be the captain of the obvious in this situation. A congratulations is the only thing in order right now. They played hard to win the gold for good old USA but because they WON by 1 point, they get disrespected, picked apart and hung out to die all alone, and not acknowledge for the whole and what of this VICTORY. GO WOMENS TEAM USA (GOLD) WINNERS. I’m with you good, bad, happy, sad!!!
dude when the best players like lebron, curry and kd will retire, other big players will take the spot. Remember Ant is only 22 or 23 or something. They are not even in the prime yet. The only one in the prime is Joker, Giannis and luka. I believe that the usa will win next year again. They might not be as dominant because the sport is evolving which is good but they will always find a way to the top.
It’s ok my friend , Maybe one day Serbia will win GOLD but not this year.. TEAM USA 🇺🇸 If teams from other countries were so good at everything USA lacked, USA wouldn’t have dominated the Olympics for the last 2 decades
Yeah, this dude is insane. If he thinks that USA doesn’t have talent, the only differences our talent is still young here. Some of our best talent is still in their early 20s pull your head out of your butt quit making content just for Clickbait.
They might stumble during the generational transition, IE the first Olympics without KD/Lebron, but given the talent coming up in the pipeline, I wouldn't bet against them. At least not on the stage they care about, which is the Olympics. Let's call a spade a spade. USA basketball don't take the world cup very seriously, they've been using it as a prolong try out for their Olympics team for nearly 2 decades If people have been paying attention to lower age bracket FIBA, like the U17/U18/U19, they'll find the USA is actually experiencing another talent surge with the likes of Chet Holmgren, Cooper Flagg, Boozer Twins, Dylan Harper, AJ Dybantsa, Darius Acuff.Jr...etc. All of whom were dominant in FIBA play at their age bracket. The truth of the matter is that US just has such a large funnel for talent that they will always have a collective talent advantage, and it really just comes down to whether the organizer can competently organize a program.
USA still has some athletic studs playing in the nba besides the foreign onslaught the league currently have. As an American league, we need to create more lanes and opportunities to expand the game inside of our own borders. Have more free or low cost basketball camps exhibiting elite skills from current and hof nba and and1 players to push the American game back out of the reach of foreign countries.
in most African countries you start playing basketball at 15 when you're sure you won't have a football career. Everyone wants to play football for now.
I actually agree, FIBA is proven to be the real basketball competition. And if Lebron, KD and Curry are not here next competition...I don't see how USAB will be favoured against too rank international teams
The us sends young players to fiba and we did the same in 2004 by the time 2028 comes all those guys will be in there primes with tons of experience and Europe will still have weak guard play Is it really a big surprise that all of the top foreigner players are 7 ft Europe will not win until they produce elite level guards
France will send another hugely talented guy in the 2025 draft, he will probably become the third no.1 pick to be french in a row, look out to him he is seen as the next Parker in Europe, he is 18 now and a lot of people say he is even more talented than Parker was when he entered the draft back then
We don't need Lebron, Steph and KD to win gold again. Because there's a ton of players that didn't even get to join. Don't get me wrong international is harder to score..but now this should show NBA players to take fiba more seriously now
Bro doesn’t know about Jalen Brunson, ja morant, lamelo ball, Jaylen brown, Tyrese maxey, Chet holgrem, Zion, Paolo banchero, Trae young or Cade Cunningham
FIBA 2026 & LA 2028 OLYMPICS, TEAM USA should have someone (big) to go one on one repeat one-on-one to defend against tbe likes of Jokic, Wembayana, & other foreign bigs; and, strong power forwards & defensive specialists to maintain dominance over the foreign teams. Also Team USA should prepare earlier to establish TEAM CHEMISTRY, speed, & familiarity w/ FIBA rules.
I dont get all the crying and gloating in the comments. USA is supposed to win every year, and frankly, the 2028 team will look shaky without Tatum and Brown. Arrogance has been the downfall of many men. We will always have greater depth, but throwing that team together 1 month prior is not going to cut it anymore.
Team USA fins teams were there B and C team and bunch of young guys. We need veterans and experienced guys and these fibs games it take one bad game for these teams to beat USA u can’t expect USA to be perfect everytime and we still won golds 8-9 last Olympics. Most of these losses we didn’t even have our best players man it doesn’t matter if they don’t have there best player
Ok, so your not getting what he is saying. USA will still have THE BEST and deepest team in the world 2028, BY FAR. The world has some what caught up, but no team is close to the spannish teams with the Gasols, Ibaka and all those talented guards. The problem is that even if the depth of the USA talentpool is astronimcly deeper then any other nations, USA relies heavely on their very top talent, supriesingly more then other nations. This was evident in this years Olympics when they were saved by agening superstars, 3 of the best to ever do it. The 2023 team was a C+ team but immensly better then the competition. Tiny Lithuania kind of sent it's B-team as well, but still defeated the US, which eventually lost three time in that tournament. In 2019 the USA really had no chance against France in the world cup, pr Serbia. You could even see the redeem team struggle before that, when the USA was outplayed by Spain only saved by Kobe. The key difference now is that the traditional american big man who once dominated the NBA is almost extinct and replaced by skilled europeans, mostly cause of how the game has changed. Theese guys also used to be key to US succes in the Fiba game. They outrebounded and outmuscled the opponents in the paint and made it possible for USA to heavely rely on transition and individual skill. When they went small ball last year it was just chaos. Look at the top centers in the NBA now and look at the top rebounders. Davies wont be in LA and they will probably not send Drummond. So, if Antman dosen't turn out to be the son of Jordan, a golden generation of international players, like thoose guys France most likely are sending in 2028, actually could, not only win, but embarres USA on home soil. Serbia almost did it a couple off days ago, against the best team ever assembled. Americans need to learn from theese last tournaments and aknowledge that there might be something wrong about how basketball has been taught and coached. The biggest flaws that I can see is off ball defense and the inabillity to play team basketball when the driving lanes are not as open.
@@DKM_Sports He just resigned with the Grizzlies on a 10 day and was on their roster this past season. Just stop man. You are a casual basketball fan and full time USA hater 😅.
Dawg You really dislike USA basketball or the NBA that badly huh? You love to keep over stating the significance of a USA close victory or the few times they lose as if this means something more significant when in reality it truly doesn't. I don't know if you know this, but do you know that Michael Jordan has actually lost games in his NBA playing career? I know you must think that cannot be true based off position of being talented and the best player at the time or ever whichever one you want to believe he is. Do you know he actually lost a playoff series in his NBA career? I know you can't believe that. Like I don't think you truly understand how basketball actually works. The USA's men's team in NBA players are not going to win every single game they play on top of that too just because they have the most talent does not mean they're going to win every single time. Based off of your own facts that you presented Jokic, Giannis & Luka should win every single title ever between the three of them because they're the most talented players in the NBA now. You see how that sounds ridiculous because it's more than just simply talent. The USA's men team typically do not compete in tournaments with each other in their off-seasons like international players tend to do. You bring up the fact of their records in the fiba tournaments, but you seem to don't even acknowledge the fact that most of those guys don't play back-to-back fiba tournaments for a reason. Also, you have no idea what potentially can be coming down the USA pipeline between now and 2028 as well as in the future, to simply say, because the three best players on this current Olympic team will not be available that all of a sudden now they're going to not win is so beyond asinine. It's beyond ridiculous because you have no idea what's coming up in the future and that goes for the international team as well. It's like you are trying way too hard to make the Euro teams relevant when the usa are not disrespecting them nor are they not disrespecting their best players like who hurt you dude?
I wouldn’t say the new gen players aren’t as talented, it seems like they didn’t get a chance. This is down to coaching. I reckon in four years time they can have just as strong and talented a team tbh.
There's a high chance the big 3 won't be there for the next Olympics. That's a pretty big void considering they had to go hero the last 2 games. Jayson Tatum is up next and that's coin flip any given day.
It’s not the talent that won it was experience Lebron Durant and curry have experience and a green light all those young guys you mentioned are lacking experience not talent give team USA longer than two weeks to prepare US basketball isn’t going anywhere anytime soon
it's pressure for the non-stars as well. I remember McCollum declining a roster spot saying he doesn't want to be the face of a losing team. Lillard declining a spot after the roster announcement. I can't see many joining the future USA Team that doesn't have LBJ, Curry, and Durant..

As someone from the outside looking in, what I hear is:
"The euros got beaten by 40 yr olds lol"
"The euros got beaten by a team from a league riddled with huge egos and terrible mentality"
"The euros got beaten by a team from a league that has no proper defense and teamwork"
Honestly, the moment the NBA actually tries to build and cultivate teams dedicated for international play, the rest of the world has no chance. Legendary players won't even be needed.
Please. I'm certainly not betting against Team USA in the 2028 Olympics when it will be held in their own backyard!
Just imagine what the world will think about Kumminga and Ja.
Yeah, not winning gold in LA would be even more embarrassing than it would have been this year.
And (this is a key point) no one has the slightest clue where the most talent will be after that. The players who will start for Team USA in 2032 and '36 are probably still teenagers. You can't predict potential results that far out.

Anyone saying Team USA have no chemistry clearly dont watch games 😂
They assemble a completely new team and compete a few weeks later in the olympics. International teams commit long term and have a system in place. Chemistry takes time
They still don’t a lot of these teams been playing together for years
Since Athens 2004 the States realize that they need to play as a team, but europeans play better as a team with worse players. USA can win the gold medal but without a doubt with a worse team like this one they need to play even more as a team. It’s evident that without Curry there would have been no gold medal.
Its obvious you don't know what chemistry is 🤣 sure they have chemistry but not anywhere close to a team that plays together over years. The US skills overshadow this flaw, but when the skill is no longer a differential then the gap between the US and the world will shrink.
The Tokyo team shows we can win when we field role players. I feel the issue isn't chemistry but coaching as I feel we haven't invested in a quality coach that can get guys on the same page. @@666Snav

Probably no Lebron, Steph or KD…though there is a small chance KD could come back if his body will allow it. Lebron has basically said he is done after this one. He said “I can’t see myself being at LA2028.”
Though the fact he now lives in LA and it is happening in LA, I’m sure it must be atleast a little appealing to Lebron. And a 43 year old Lebron on the court for one last ride would be quite the story.

The biggest problem for USA dominance in FIBA tournaments is the fact that USA born players will care more for an NBA championship rather than a FIBA world championship or an olympic gold medal.
So WHY is that not the case when it comes to between FIFA world cup and UEFA champions league????
Basically no. Gasol was an example of that.
@@sab-vl4jg Because America is not Europe. America is still very much isolationist, the city on the hill and all that. It's the same reason why Football means 1 thing in the entire world and something else entirely in just the US, and why Football(soccer for your Americans out there) is the most popular sport nearly everywhere in the world but isn't even a top 4 sport in the US. American Football, Baseball, Basketball and Ice Hockey are all still well ahead of actual Football in the US.
Basically Americans only care about what happens in America. They're very self centered like that. Anything that happens anywhere in the rest of the world simply doesn't matter nearly as much to them, unless it directly affects them in a major way that is. That's why American athletes, especially those from the above mentioned big 4 American sports, care more about their precious American championships, misguidedly called 'world championships' by the very same self centered Americans, than any international competition.
@@Owlr4iderno it’s not because we’re iso whatever the heck you’re talking about it’s because for the last 30 years it’s been harder to win a nba championship then a gold medal and an nba championship among all fans around the world is just looked at better on your resume then a gold medal and that’s just because we always win maybe when it gets more competitive it’ll change but for now it’s just to easy
@@yahirzavala-nm9ur No, just no. It's not harder to win a NBA championship than a gold medal, or for that matter a Euro-League Championship or even a local league like La Liga. It's just that the US is the cultural leader of the entire western world, for better and for worse, and the NBA has always had incredibly marketing worldwide. That's why people care so much about the NBA, not the so called 'difficulty' of winning it.
I actually agree with this assessment that it is not a guarantee anymore that the USA will win the gold medal going forward. USA just squeezed through to the gold with their best team available this time around. Even close to losing against Serbia and France as the Avengers. This is good because it makes watching international basketball more exciting now.
You’re overlooking the pool of players that will develop and become the “next” whoever. Cooper Flagg was giving NBA players workout at Team USA scrimmages. Let alone the development of AE, Chet Holmgren, JT. To say they’re not as talented seems a little far fetched. They’re younger and backed down to the big dawgs. In four years they’ll be the big dawgs
You would have said the same thing in 2012 with Kobe carrying that USA team to Olympic gold. You acknowledged that the US have star studded talent they’ll mature with the competition in the years to come. Anthony Edward’s averaged around 13 points this Olympics more than Lebron. We have no idea what will happen in the next 4 years
No, in 2012 Europeans were not as dominant as today, European teams were still afraid of Team USA and you were winning by 20 points every game. Today, USA has to fight to win by 10 points with an avenger team !
Top NBA prospects are not American anymore, MVPs, DPOYs, ROYs, are not Americans, etc.. That’s the difference with 2012.
What happened in 2004… Since that Olympics the States knew that they have to play hard if they want to win, and this time it was the hardest one (in Pekin it was hard but this time not just the final).
Actually Lebron averaged more points , rebounds, assist and a higher fg% then Anthony Edwards just an fwi don’t be making shii up and he was unplayable in the semis and finals if you watched the games
@Salutatoi99
All people like to do nowadays is talk, Devin booker, Tatum and many younger guys will step up. Sure it won’t be as good as the literal greatest of all time but you act like the USA isn’t still gonna be the best team 😂

My fault was not talking about Olympics was talking about showcase matches, still impressive, and we have plenty more volume scorers than ant.
Newsflash, USA don’t care about anything but the actual Olympics😭😭 kill that World Cup talk
The modern NBA players don’t understand FIBA play. Those who played under Coach K, KD, LeBron and Curry know and dominated.
They lack FIBA fundamentals, but play the same olympics under NBA rules. The youngins would dominate.
It’s like taking a taking Usain Bolt (a career 100m and 200m sprinter) and telling him to run in the 400m within 2 weeks of practice. Yes he will struggle, but given more time he will still win.
Fiba2014 USA LINEUP dominates by a big margin 💪🏾🥱
The US has a fundamental basketball problem. Our players and iso centric and the international game is team oriented.
@@atlanta1290 iso works in NBA cos of spacing and talent level. Guys like Kobe, LeBron and Kyrie thrived on isos. That’s what inspired the younger gen. But some guys like Tatum and ANT need to realise, they aren’t good iso ballers.
I'm going to keep it real. I half way believe your theory, but we don't technically know since other players didn't play. Curry , James, and Durant. did have to rest somewhat. And others never really got a chance these last few games. Kerr was ragged on by many and he knew that, so he had to win, and he pick the best of the best to go down to the wire with. Antman and crew will be back again in 4 years and their generation will call them the O.G.’s carrying the load.
@@BlackCobraInc it’s just like 2012 where Kobe carried the load against Spain to beat em, it is what it is
Something that concerning the most is the fact for next international tournements KD, LB and curry probably will not play because they are too old and the next gen of USA players are good but not enough to face this international teams. I think this might be the last gold for USA.
The 96 team was just perfectly fine without Jordan, Magic and Bird. No different. Someone will always step up.
That was 18 years ago. European basketball is growing year after year, which is why with each draft now there are more and more young European talents, and the MVPs are no longer American. We'll see what happens in 2028...
If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Tied for most FIBA world cups and won 17 out of the last 21 olympics.
Sounds like a salty foreigner to me🤣 good luck to y’all in the future tho 💯 we’ll see
I’m Scottish, so I’ll take that good luck. But im not salty, I’m acknowledging a dynasty. But am also pointing that the US relied on 3 generational guys who won’t be there going forward. And in order to sustain THIS level of dominance, either USA Basketball has to fundamentally change or they find a new curry, Durant and LeBron.
DKM is fishing for views and could not help himself trying to put drama on it with 'this is the last Olympics' I mean anyone can see that Wemby, Jokic, and SGA are capable of leading a squad to gold. So for sure its not out of the realm of reasonable speculation that Team USA will not have an easy road but come on now why not just celebrate the Gold and speculate who will be the team leaders in 2028

Dang. Very timely video. So proud to be an American today but I told my brother the same thing. This is the last time we can throw our best players together a month before the Olympics and win. We need 4+ year commitments (bare minimum) from guys so that they can play, practice and grow together.
Four+ year commitments? Just how can they "...play, practice and grow together..." when they are paid millions to play for their NBA organizations?
@@montarakid1943 I agree. That’s why we will lose.

we here you. the world has gotten better. if the U.S. brings some size they will continue to win. thats the only reason they have had problems in the last 2 world cups.
This is mostly right. You are off on the analysis of traditional centers. The modern pick and roll game combined with high percentage 3-pt shooting and big men who can drive makes old school centers problematic. We saw this in the women’s game with Griner sitting on the bench
8:51 I do agree with this line of reasoning. The NBA is a business and started to go away from the way Americans played the game and became so enamored with how Euros played the game. Euros were always known as soft finesse players but the NBA is seen as less physical than Europe now. That’s a huge self inflicted problem that needs addressing. Silver wants that Euro money though so, he’ll promote their players over the locals.
The US will win every gold until the refs take away the 3-5 step layups they are allowed to do while the other teams are stuck at 2.
The thing people don't understand about team USA, is they're not practicing for more than a few weeks together before facinf teams thats have way more practice and chemistry because a lot of those teams have a core, and coach who know them.
If USA took longer, got a dedicated coach. They'd do much better, while our team had so much talent, the consistency wasn't there because eveyone wanted to have their shine. Teams with 3 or 4 superstars and the rest high end role players is the best arrangement.
the thing dumb americans doint even understand about the world stage of basketball : its easy to win when 50 united states of merica are playing only 1 state of Europe alone at a time... team Europa would completly DESTROY that poor little thing that is team USA EASILY as if they were not there, because America simply doesnt know how to really play true basketball thats why all the best players of NBA will be all europeans after end of carreer of Lebron, KD and Curry.
France had an American on their coaching staff slot of international teams star players are American, it’s clear international teams take Fiba far more serious than American players. If Team USA was the full roster of the Warriors minus international players they’d still blow international teams out by 50points not cap.
If salty was a person it would be you smh
I was thinking the same thing. Everyone is saying USA lost fiba World Cup because we sent our C team. When you actually think about it, that will be our A team with a few changes in 2028😭

There is no pleasing some people. You will find something to complain about. All the negative is horrible. Anyone with eyes could see the obvious points you pointed out, so why be the captain of the obvious in this situation. A congratulations is the only thing in order right now. They played hard to win the gold for good old USA but because they WON by 1 point, they get disrespected, picked apart and hung out to die all alone, and not acknowledge for the whole and what of this VICTORY.
GO WOMENS TEAM USA (GOLD) WINNERS. I’m with you good, bad, happy, sad!!!
dude when the best players like lebron, curry and kd will retire, other big players will take the spot. Remember Ant is only 22 or 23 or something. They are not even in the prime yet. The only one in the prime is Joker, Giannis and luka. I believe that the usa will win next year again. They might not be as dominant because the sport is evolving which is good but they will always find a way to the top.
It’s ok my friend , Maybe one day Serbia will win GOLD but not this year.. TEAM USA 🇺🇸
If teams from other countries were so good at everything USA lacked, USA wouldn’t have dominated the Olympics for the last 2 decades

I guess I'll stick to calling em world champions 😂 Crazy how they just keep proving it and butthurt ppl still complain.
you can call them all you want they are only olympic gold medalists and the true World Champion is still Germany you butthurt ignorant 🤣🤡
They might stumble during the generational transition, IE the first Olympics without KD/Lebron, but given the talent coming up in the pipeline, I wouldn't bet against them. At least not on the stage they care about, which is the Olympics. Let's call a spade a spade. USA basketball don't take the world cup very seriously, they've been using it as a prolong try out for their Olympics team for nearly 2 decades
If people have been paying attention to lower age bracket FIBA, like the U17/U18/U19, they'll find the USA is actually experiencing another talent surge with the likes of Chet Holmgren, Cooper Flagg, Boozer Twins, Dylan Harper, AJ Dybantsa, Darius Acuff.Jr...etc. All of whom were dominant in FIBA play at their age bracket. The truth of the matter is that US just has such a large funnel for talent that they will always have a collective talent advantage, and it really just comes down to whether the organizer can competently organize a program.
USA still has some athletic studs playing in the nba besides the foreign onslaught the league currently have. As an American league, we need to create more lanes and opportunities to expand the game inside of our own borders. Have more free or low cost basketball camps exhibiting elite skills from current and hof nba and and1 players to push the American game back out of the reach of foreign countries.
USA says Bring it.
in most African countries you start playing basketball at 15 when you're sure you won't have a football career. Everyone wants to play football for now.
Everyone keeps saying the world catching up but yet they can’t beat them
I actually agree, FIBA is proven to be the real basketball competition. And if Lebron, KD and Curry are not here next competition...I don't see how USAB will be favoured against too rank international teams

France will send another hugely talented guy in the 2025 draft, he will probably become the third no.1 pick to be french in a row, look out to him he is seen as the next Parker in Europe, he is 18 now and a lot of people say he is even more talented than Parker was when he entered the draft back then
NBA get rid of the 3 second rule. And have the Center come back to the NBA
We don't need Lebron, Steph and KD to win gold again. Because there's a ton of players that didn't even get to join. Don't get me wrong international is harder to score..but now this should show NBA players to take fiba more seriously now

Team USA fins teams were there B and C team and bunch of young guys. We need veterans and experienced guys and these fibs games it take one bad game for these teams to beat USA u can’t expect USA to be perfect everytime and we still won golds 8-9 last Olympics. Most of these losses we didn’t even have our best players man it doesn’t matter if they don’t have there best player
A lot of it is nba defense that’s what usa plays laid back defense when the other country’s play college defense actual defense
the next dream team would be luka, jokic, giannis, shai, ant, wemby but not gonna happen
Don’t forget 2006 World Cup. The team was very similar to the redeem team minus Kobe. They lost.
How about you make a prediction in 2028 right before the Olympics?
Ok, so your not getting what he is saying. USA will still have THE BEST and deepest team in the world 2028, BY FAR. The world has some what caught up, but no team is close to the spannish teams with the Gasols, Ibaka and all those talented guards. The problem is that even if the depth of the USA talentpool is astronimcly deeper then any other nations, USA relies heavely on their very top talent, supriesingly more then other nations. This was evident in this years Olympics when they were saved by agening superstars, 3 of the best to ever do it. The 2023 team was a C+ team but immensly better then the competition. Tiny Lithuania kind of sent it's B-team as well, but still defeated the US, which eventually lost three time in that tournament. In 2019 the USA really had no chance against France in the world cup, pr Serbia. You could even see the redeem team struggle before that, when the USA was outplayed by Spain only saved by Kobe. The key difference now is that the traditional american big man who once dominated the NBA is almost extinct and replaced by skilled europeans, mostly cause of how the game has changed. Theese guys also used to be key to US succes in the Fiba game. They outrebounded and outmuscled the opponents in the paint and made it possible for USA to heavely rely on transition and individual skill. When they went small ball last year it was just chaos. Look at the top centers in the NBA now and look at the top rebounders. Davies wont be in LA and they will probably not send Drummond. So, if Antman dosen't turn out to be the son of Jordan, a golden generation of international players, like thoose guys France most likely are sending in 2028, actually could, not only win, but embarres USA on home soil. Serbia almost did it a couple off days ago, against the best team ever assembled. Americans need to learn from theese last tournaments and aknowledge that there might be something wrong about how basketball has been taught and coached. The biggest flaws that I can see is off ball defense and the inabillity to play team basketball when the driving lanes are not as open.
Isn't Thor with south Sudan ,was an NBA that player lplayed with the Charlotte hornets?
He got cut
@@DKM_Sports He just resigned with the Grizzlies on a 10 day and was on their roster this past season. Just stop man. You are a casual basketball fan and full time USA hater 😅.
@@phoenixrisingone1JT Thor ain’t ever played for the grizzlies lil bro idk wtf ur chatting
@@DKM_SportsHe meant to say that he signed with Cleveland not Memphis
Dawg You really dislike USA basketball or the NBA that badly huh? You love to keep over stating the significance of a USA close victory or the few times they lose as if this means something more significant when in reality it truly doesn't. I don't know if you know this, but do you know that Michael Jordan has actually lost games in his NBA playing career? I know you must think that cannot be true based off position of being talented and the best player at the time or ever whichever one you want to believe he is. Do you know he actually lost a playoff series in his NBA career? I know you can't believe that. Like I don't think you truly understand how basketball actually works. The USA's men's team in NBA players are not going to win every single game they play on top of that too just because they have the most talent does not mean they're going to win every single time. Based off of your own facts that you presented Jokic, Giannis & Luka should win every single title ever between the three of them because they're the most talented players in the NBA now. You see how that sounds ridiculous because it's more than just simply talent. The USA's men team typically do not compete in tournaments with each other in their off-seasons like international players tend to do. You bring up the fact of their records in the fiba tournaments, but you seem to don't even acknowledge the fact that most of those guys don't play back-to-back fiba tournaments for a reason. Also, you have no idea what potentially can be coming down the USA pipeline between now and 2028 as well as in the future, to simply say, because the three best players on this current Olympic team will not be available that all of a sudden now they're going to not win is so beyond asinine. It's beyond ridiculous because you have no idea what's coming up in the future and that goes for the international team as well. It's like you are trying way too hard to make the Euro teams relevant when the usa are not disrespecting them nor are they not disrespecting their best players like who hurt you dude?
I wouldn’t say the new gen players aren’t as talented, it seems like they didn’t get a chance. This is down to coaching. I reckon in four years time they can have just as strong and talented a team tbh.
There's a high chance the big 3 won't be there for the next Olympics. That's a pretty big void considering they had to go hero the last 2 games. Jayson Tatum is up next and that's coin flip any given day.
It’s not the talent that won it was experience Lebron Durant and curry have experience and a green light all those young guys you mentioned are lacking experience not talent give team USA longer than two weeks to prepare US basketball isn’t going anywhere anytime soon
it's pressure for the non-stars as well. I remember McCollum declining a roster spot saying he doesn't want to be the face of a losing team. Lillard declining a spot after the roster announcement.
I can't see many joining the future USA Team that doesn't have LBJ, Curry, and Durant..
0 ball knowledge
No way ....usa will win even 2028 olympics gold medal...mark my words...with all due respect to other international teams.
Naa bruh once lebron retire you’ll see the shift . US has the best players & will continue to dominate
Dream team had naturalized citizens to so Embid playing is normal
