This was kind of a birth for Canadian international basketball. These guys will play frequently from now on. Adding Murray, Wiggins and maybe Shaedon Sharpe in the future. That could work out quite good.

Canada demanded their players commit to 3 years before the Olympics. Because being a team means playing as a team. Showing up the day before isn’t the way to do it. Wiggins has extenuating circumstances and Murray is injured - so they are eligible for Paris.
Correction Nick Nurse said that it wasn't really followed and a lot of Canadian NBA players rightly said that's unfair because we have our literal basketball careers to focus on, new coach Jordi was more lax on this issue which is the right thing your actual career should come first because that's how you support your family. This team was constructed just before the World Cup this team didn't play together for 3 years same as USA and we still beat them which is good because our olympic starting line up will pretty much be the same with added chemistry from a World Cup meanwhile the USA starting lineup will be entirely different with no chemistry good for us.
@@dantedavis4679not sure if you are Canadian but yes the players on this roster committed to 3 years and this was year two of three, three being next years Paris Olympics. The gm is Rowan Barrett and the rule is if you commit and show up there is a spot for you in Paris, if you don’t commit then you are not guaranteed a spot.

Take this from a Canadian. He has to get in line. Wiggins said he didn't want to make a commitment, period. So he's on the outside looking in at this point.
Philippines is a Basketball country , we might booed Dillon in the beginning but we saw his hard work and the fans appreciates it, we are not only Lakers fans but we are Basketball fans
I would disagree with this. Filipinos (or a lot of them) booed Brooks because that's what Americans were doing to him. They want in on that trend. Filipinos don't love basketball. They love popular basketball. They care about the big names or who's trending. Case in point: every game not featuring the US and Luka Doncic (who's very popular obviously), most Filipinos didn't pay attention.
@@adingdingdiiing6740 That was expected, A lot of Filipinos are Lakers fans because of Kobe, thats why they are boing him, as for the attendance, the tickets are expensive, 1 game 1 ticket, so a lot of people will watched who are famous. And to say that Filipinos dont love basketball, you know nothing about that...

that is what US merdia still does not get. Every Lithuanian and german counterpart to the US players is at least a class worse most often much worse. But they had a real team and defense...
That’s true but the US has the luxury to compete with a team full of hall of famers. They are the only one who can win with individual talent alone. That’s the difference. However, It is not a very sustainable approach
@@ChaposShoota Steph adds more points, but he's a liability on defense. If they added somebody like Anthony Davis, yes they would have gotten the gold.

As good as Canada was in this tourney, they need major reinforcement if they want to medal when the Olympics roll around. We desperately need Wiggins and Murray to make any noise.
Y'all can "make noise" with this team.. they will have more chemistry with each other next year..

Shai needs help for sure. When Shai goes to the bench our offense would fall apart. Jamal Murray would be a great secondary option to control the offense when Shai is out.
??? are we undermining Jalen, Mikal, and Anthony Edwards? We lost to Canada because our defense was lax, allowing 2x 40 PT scorers is unacceptable at any basketball level. We had stars we just didn't play up to par.
@@relykremok1225He isn't a superstar, though. ESPN was hyping him up to be that but he hasn't shown that yet in the NBA. SGA is top 10 in the NBA; Edwards isn't.. yet.
World teams are not afraid of USA basketball anymore. It's a privilege to represent your country and in my opinion the US should have tryouts for prospects to commit to three years. But I'm sure they will figure it out. They have too many superstars. If they don't bring home the Gold next year though....yikes! Congratulation to Canada on an exceptional performance. Next up the Olympics medal podium.
This is team USA problem. They think they can just put bunch of good NBA players in a team and things will work out. Do you know why team USA was unsuccessful in this world cup. 1. They don't play like they want it. Terrible defence. 2. To much ISO ball. One guy has the ball in his hands and everyone just stands around and watches. 3. Rebounding & physicality. Jaren Jackson Jr. Your defensive player of the year, he averaged 2.9 rebounds in this world cup. The Serbian center Nikola Milutinov who plays for Olympiacos in Greece, averaged 8.4 rebounds, (to put things in perspective). 4. It's not always about the STARS. SGA played pretty bad against Serbia in the semi finals. The serbian guard Aleksa Avramovic who comes of the bench, played great defence on shai and the rest of the canada team. He had 4 steals in the game against Lithuania. 5. Latvia was my favorite team to watch in this world cup, even if they came in 5th place. The reason why is they played hard every single possession. They were fantastic defensively. Honestly I think Latvia would have also won over team USA, just like Lithuania and Germany. Dennis Schröder got outplayed by Arturs Zagars who is 21 years old. The United States are always gonna have the best players. They are the best basketball nation in the world, but they will continue to lose games against other nations until they learn to never underestimate their opponent, bring better american players to the world cup and realize that FIBA rules and NBA rules are different. There are less possession, there will be more contact. You have to play defence, you have to play with passion to win certain games.
But most of your points are inhanced by NBA rules. That is why the NBA is also getting worse and worse by the season. Just wanting more scoring and ISO ball. Less teamball and they wish for ne defense at all..
1. Team USA & Canada play NBA style basketball which is not suitable to winning consistently in INTL play unless you have all the best players in the world on one team. 2. Why do we even need all the best players when you even admitted that SGA was outplayed by someone who will likely never make the NBA? 3. Talent is the _least important issue_. The main issue is that Team USA continually underestimates their opponents just because they have the best collection of talent in the world. Even the _ B or C team_ is more talented than 99.999999% of the teams that participate in the World Cup. 4. FIBA & Olympic basketball is better than NBA basketball. The rules make it so every position matters & they don't cater to perimeter players or Superstars. The NBA has allowed nonsense in order to increase scoring which the casual fan only understands.
Canada team knows what to expect… most of the Canadian nba players played for Canada before their NBA careers… they are not strangers with the team,,, league and the rules… even the none NBA players,,, just recently,,, they were unbeatable in the Americas region… it was not a surprise that Canada took home a medal… now with the US team,,, they were actually remarkable for young players who never played together…. They still reach the semis… it’s disappointing because of the expectations and the idea that the NBA players are the best in the world and can’t be beaten…
Not a fan of what Brooks did last postseason, but great to see he was bigtime with Canada winning bronze on a historical run. Wish him the best in the NBA .
So sad that people are giving no respect to a USA team who represented the stars and stripes. I'm sure the so called "A team" was asked... so, why did they not go? We all have to truly respect our opponents and those willing to wear our colours.
If I were on the team, I'd want to bring back some hardware even if it's bronze. That's a world cup medal no one can take away and is a historic accomplishment. Many of these guys will never get this opportunity again and they have zero to show for it. Big disappointment.
In 1996 I saw a team with former NBA (and maybe NCAA) players, "veterans" playing against an under-23 national team of my country. Until the break, the score was something like 47-42. During the break, some speeches were held - it was a charity event. The match ended in something like 112-49. It was a "cold" but spectacular victory. Only one of the American players could execute the slam dunk. 1-2 of them didn't even have a competitive run anymore. Otherwise, technique, defense, passes, shots at the basket, everything was exceptional.
I love how these 'knowledgable basketball analysts', after watching team USA losing to Germany and Lithuania, two teams without a superstar, arrived to the conclusion that the third loss was because the opposing team had a superstar. This is too funny. Did you loose to Germany because they had a superstar too? Andreas Obst gave these dudes about 26, is he a superstar? Team basketball, building chemistry and the right culture together and every player understanding their role. Playing as a team at both ends. That's what it takes to win. A superstar isn't going to cut it. I hope these people go and learn something about basketball, because it's not really about starpower, not in FIBA basketball.
I truly don't understand why there is no emphasis on the Fiba World cup. It's bigger than the Olympics. Same with Football (Soccer). Winning a World Cup is harder than winning the Olympics.
It depends on the kind of sports. Football, rugby emphasised WorldCup , Tennis the Grand Slam tournaments, Cycling the Tour de France and the Vuelta Espana, while Basketball , Volleyball, Atletics the Olympics
They weren't the best team in this tournament, and I don't know why it was the expectation that they would win. They had fundamental flaws that were exploited by Germany (champions) and Lithuania (perennial contender in any international competition). And the team they sent is pretty much on par with Canada, maybe even giving up something on defense. None of their losses should be considered surprising. And that includes on reputation.
Team USA is not to be compared to that distant memory called the "Dream Team"........if you have a team of Europeans playing in the NBA competing a team of Americans playing in the NBA it would be the Europeans 9 out of 10 times winning the game in today's game......
Arguably 4 out of the top 5 players right now are not Americans, No matter how you count it, Joker, Giannis, Luka, and Embiid are in most people's top 5 and they are all foreigners.
I honestly think it’s disrespectful to compare the dream team to todays USA team because the dream team got it done this years team only best player was Anthony Edwards
@jaysouthmusic8230 few top players will risk injury in their NBA off season for a FIBA title that means nearly nothing to a US born, NBA star making $35-60mil a year that's trying to win an NBA title. An Olympic gold medal is a different story though...to the point that the NBA will change their schedule around it
All those team usa players making crazy money, this tournament should be an example of how bad contracts are with mid type players receiving elite status money. The NBA needs to find a way to put this into perspective. I like brunson and some others, but theyre overpaid.
Oh please Canada needed an overtime to beat a Team USA without 3 main guys, Jaren Jackson, Banchero and Ingram. They were playing with 8 players ffs. Tell things how they are
I mean if you look at it, team USA had a lot of blue collar guys. Besides Ant, their high level recruits coming out of high school and into the nba, weren't even the main guys on this team. Sure, you got a few all stars in here but it just wasn't the right mix. I mean having Reaves better than Ingram is just how things went down. No one really stepped up for team usa. For canada, SGA was consistent and brooks just got better and better.
Lol 😂 this ain’t the 80s or 90s no more nobody is scared of American basketball no more…Dillon brooks is dropping almost 40 on u guys head..sga is better than any player on that USA roster
More sports media stupid talk. Its not about superstars!!! Its about playing the right way! NBA players and coaches think its all about jacking up 3's so if they go in you win if they don't you lose. Its simple. USA needs to get back to learning how to play the complete game. teach the youth how to play basketball instead of shooting half court shots
They need to go back to the system where they ask players for a 3 year commitment. Building cohesion is there biggest problem. This year's team was severely flawed, but give them more time to play with each other they would dominate. It would be great to have more stars, but if they keep a team together they can do without stars. Look at Germany, Schroeder is a back up PG in the NBA, yet he was the MVP. You can't tell me Anthony Edwards couldn't do the same thing if he had time to build camraderie with his teammates.
and bball it is not even the worlds sport. basketball is almost US only, still we got it done and defeated them twice with TEAM. Talent takes you only so far, it is about chemistry and togetherness (exactly, what is going wrong in the US and the world full of individuals)
yea, but still, you would think that they would be interested in the actual world cup finals of the sport that they love, even if they don't know all the players.@@NoSpinster0909

Noah Lyles, please take a bow! Silly Americans! What’s up KD? What’s up Dame Time?
At the start of the tournament, What were the betting odds for USA not getting any medal?
They weren't the best team in this tournament, and I don't know why it was the expectation that they would win. They had fundamental flaws that were exploited by Germany (champions) and Lithuania (perennial contender in any international competition). And the team they sent is pretty much on par with Canada, maybe even giving up something on defense. None of their losses should be considered surprising. And that includes on reputation.
@DennisSchroder is the GOAT! 👑
It's feel weird to see Dillon Brook looks humble in the last of this video 😮
That's the real Brooks, once you put the red and white on, it's team first.
Dillion brooks> UsA
Noone wants to see an entire panel of women talki g mwns basketball
USA still had 6 guys who averaged at least 20 ppg last year, so don't give me that BS
I blame Steve Kerr for not even playing the big he did have on the team.
The Bronze matters take is spot on
It matters outside the U.S. It's Gold or go home.
@@thomascrowniii1693Nah, if you go home without any Medal, that's way worse.
@@CirilloRuca USA Don't care about bronze
@@cjfrm3658 Apparently they do since everyone is crapping on this team for losing to Canada in a BRONZE MEDAL game.
@@cjfrm3658im Germany we say: 4th gets the sheet medal
Marc Spears only person with sense of the respect factor
And if canada bring they A roster, everyone better watch out...
Dillon the destroyer❤
Respect brooks
Filipinos know how to appreciate a good player and a brilliant game
that was a lane violation btw. Should not have even counted
Team USA is not to be compared to that distant memory called the "Dream Team"........if you have a team of Europeans playing in the NBA competing a team of Americans playing in the NBA it would be the Europeans 9 out of 10 times winning the game in today's game......
Arguably 4 out of the top 5 players right now are not Americans, No matter how you count it, Joker, Giannis, Luka, and Embiid are in most people's top 5 and they are all foreigners.
@@peterliang3696cool but majority players no matter how u slice it are American them losing is more political then US being bad at ball
I honestly think it’s disrespectful to compare the dream team to todays USA team because the dream team got it done this years team only best player was Anthony Edwards
A "team or Europeans" would be an all star team of nations. That's a terrible comparison.
@jaysouthmusic8230 few top players will risk injury in their NBA off season for a FIBA title that means nearly nothing to a US born, NBA star making $35-60mil a year that's trying to win an NBA title. An Olympic gold medal is a different story though...to the point that the NBA will change their schedule around it
He got 3s in his bag like that
All those team usa players making crazy money, this tournament should be an example of how bad contracts are with mid type players receiving elite status money. The NBA needs to find a way to put this into perspective. I like brunson and some others, but theyre overpaid.
Lmao brooks dropped 39 on y’all 😂,he isn’t a bad player though.
So they cover the game for bronze but not the final, Americans 🤡🤡🤡
Oh please Canada needed an overtime to beat a Team USA without 3 main guys, Jaren Jackson, Banchero and Ingram. They were playing with 8 players ffs. Tell things how they are
Where tf is nick fury ?? bring in the big guns not no fckin ms marvel and hawk girl
Ms Marvel isn't a joke, what are you talking about?
@@CirilloRuca yes she is a fckin kid who will get killed if she was around punisher or blade or wolverine or magneto
NBA IS FIXED😂
1:21 ohohohohohoh!!!
That's not an excuse, USA has a plethora of superstars at their disposal!!
I mean if you look at it, team USA had a lot of blue collar guys. Besides Ant, their high level recruits coming out of high school and into the nba, weren't even the main guys on this team. Sure, you got a few all stars in here but it just wasn't the right mix. I mean having Reaves better than Ingram is just how things went down. No one really stepped up for team usa. For canada, SGA was consistent and brooks just got better and better.
Can’t wait to hear Spears grunt and breathe thru another segment.
Lol 😂 this ain’t the 80s or 90s no more nobody is scared of American basketball no more…Dillon brooks is dropping almost 40 on u guys head..sga is better than any player on that USA roster
Rest of world better enjoy it while you can - Bron and the rest of them boys will be in Paris and I have a feeling it’s gonna go down different
Yeah just like Bron said he would take part in the dunk contest?
Low key glad we lost instead of a stain of a bronze
More sports media stupid talk. Its not about superstars!!! Its about playing the right way! NBA players and coaches think its all about jacking up 3's so if they go in you win if they don't you lose. Its simple. USA needs to get back to learning how to play the complete game. teach the youth how to play basketball instead of shooting half court shots
They need to go back to the system where they ask players for a 3 year commitment. Building cohesion is there biggest problem. This year's team was severely flawed, but give them more time to play with each other they would dominate. It would be great to have more stars, but if they keep a team together they can do without stars. Look at Germany, Schroeder is a back up PG in the NBA, yet he was the MVP. You can't tell me Anthony Edwards couldn't do the same thing if he had time to build camraderie with his teammates.
Turner and lopez were played off the court in the olympics
I mean what did you expect when your best player is Ant Edwards and you got Austin Reaves on the team
AR15 did great job...
@@nikolayjerev9285the AR hate is just laughable at this point
@@nikolayjerev9285 still doesn't mean that he should have been on the team if we are actually recruiting the best US players...
@@lg3385 Is he one of the best 20 american born players in the NBA? Your answer to the question will solidify my entire point
@@GappyHilmore18 ofc he should be on the team, didn't you watch the playoffs?? 56% from 3 pt?!?!! Solidify this.
Ant, Tyrese and JJJ were allstars this year
Thanks for covering - seems like all the other American media outlets are quiet today - ones that had been reporting on FIBA up until today
Yup. But if LeBron had unfollowed someone, it’d be the lead
Funny that all the buckets were given, Austin Reeves was guarding them 🤔
and bball it is not even the worlds sport. basketball is almost US only, still we got it done and defeated them twice with TEAM. Talent takes you only so far, it is about chemistry and togetherness (exactly, what is going wrong in the US and the world full of individuals)
This feels like ordering ESPN line-up from Wish.
USA's Z-team eliminated. Not surprised
usa didnt want to be in a podium 3rd place,,, or part of any list in this fiba since losing to l...
God help 🇺🇸 team to redeem themselves in OT and they still lost 😂
Dillon brooks ❤❤❤
I’m glad Malika didn’t report Brooks was caught stealing a magazine in grade 6 from a convenience store
love how espn has a video about the bronce metal match but not the actual finals just because the usa was not in it. :D the americans are hilarious
Uh duh we don’t know most of the players on them other teams,ESPN is an American network and we are an American audience
yea, but still, you would think that they would be interested in the actual world cup finals of the sport that they love, even if they don't know all the players.@@NoSpinster0909
But team U.S.A. had all stars
Dillion the villain 🦹♂️!
Ros-Gold and Marc telling it like it is: Team USA came away empty handed precisely because they didn't respect the competition/the FIBA World Cup.
Dont ever compare yaself to kobe again dillon smh
LeBron, KD, Curry have to play for team USA next year. Dame, Tatum, Butler. Bring everyone.
Shame on USA IF JORDAN WAS PLAYING THIS WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED SAY NO MORE.
