Still this was not college guys. Younger guys no doubt and no tier 1 super stars but wow just embarrassing. France? wtf. Not even a prime Tony Parker France either. Pop more concerned with tampering than winning. Well I hope losing with Pop left a bad taste in their mouth.
Kuz apperently closing on a sneaker deal with Puma....which is weird considering he is a Nike guy. But I'm sure he rolls with the dough.
france had batum (used to be really good), fournier (scores 20ish in the nba), gobert (dpoy in nba and mvp candidate last year), and decolo (successful overseas, ok in nba). and ntilikina played well in the tournament. they might have had the most talent outside the US. hell, their top shelf guys might have actually been better. we did not send a very strong team. this isn't like 2002-6 where we sent second-tier guys who were still allstars that lost. you expect kemba walker and donovan mitchell to struggle helming a team against experienced international squads. at least i did. that they lost isn't at all surprising. i did expect them to get to the semis, though--but the draws are sort of weird due to groups and such.
OMFG !! Serbia beat team USA in 1-st quarter 32-7 Pop go away, it is time to collect social security benefits
Did Tatum see the writing on the wall with this team and fake an injury so his media status as GOAT wasn't threatened?
The things men will do for a little pun tang is unbelievable!! When I was in my 20's, I would snag anything I could. Learned how to say no after I turned 30.
I mean, there were times I had to say no in my 20's as well. Usually the word "no" was proceeded by the word "hell." If you snag crazy, crazy never unsnags.
