Need another one of those German highlight videos, you know…. Ben Lammers derdrivingderballdafugginglane geslammeddamotherinderface ohmygodderhegoesagain underbelievable Ben Lammers. One like that.

Would have loved to have seen him with last year's team. Probably the most complete center to play for GT in the last decade. Unfortunate for Ben we never had the talent around him to get to the NCAA tournament.

Well, Favors was here in 2010, which just ekes out of the last decade. I’d have enjoyed watching either of them with last year’s team.

Really cool Q was able to continue working in basketball in another capacity.

This is why it's a 40-year decision... the connections you make to someone like Jon Babul, who I think this might roll up to at the Hawks.

Breaking: Kevin Durant just applied for the Nigerian national team.

Team USA ignored some good players. The Nigerian team is legit, though.

Really smart use of NIL rights, which I think Kelly Quinlan suggested at some point.

Ush already looks like he’s about to kick someone’s *** & we’re 4 months away from the season starting.

I tried watching some of the Big 3 because of Jack and Bynum but it just doesn’t do it for me. I’d rather see a 4 on 4 smaller full court type league.

They need a camp for older people.

Watched the game - Okogie played well but isn't a core guy for them. Agada is tough and will be on someone's roster next year.

The interesting part of watching the game was it was a combination of 2021 5 out offense and 1980's blood required for a foul officiating - with the different goal tending rules thrown in. Nigeria shot the ball incredibly well and played really physically. For someone like me who doesn't particularly like today's NBA it was a fun game to watch.

FWIW if they play again in the real olympics I think the USA wins by 15. USA missed a ton of shots - Beal isn't going for 2 again and Durant didn't try to take over until it was too late. But Nigeria is definitely fun to watch.

Cool. Cool, cool, cool .. I'm here for all that. But the best 'commercial' for your brand and merch is your play on the court, my guy. I'm rooting for ya ...
