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

Wish they would have done K-12, I would have signed my son up for sure.

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.

I reserve the right to revise and extend my remarks

Thought the US would get going but ..... ouch

Aren’t there at least three players missing from the team due to NBA playoffs?

 

[Jacketman99]

They are missing 3 players. However the other issue is that these guys have not been together long. They need to learn how to play together as a team. We are not so far ahead of the rest of the world that we can simply roll out a few players and expect to win. A lot of these countries have multiple NBA players so they are not intimidated. The international game is different as well. Typically a lot more physical and you are not going to get those superstar calls you get in the NBA. If these guys don't get it together they can definitely get embarrassed in the Olympics.

I disagree. They couldn't care less, as they are completely apathetic.

Many, many things wrong with this map.

The animal is the University of Alaska's mascot. They're the Seawolves and I think it's supposed to resemble like a native Alaskan drawing.

The data was compiled by “South Harmon Institute of Technology”…Look at the abbreviation, it’s just a map they made to troll and get interaction on Twitter
