    Always remember -- this piece of human waste has as much MVPs as Shaq and Kobe combined.

    Did he? Was sure it was 2.

    Let me amend this then...

    Netherlands just beat France in 3 X3 finals in OT . Ronnie Turiaf, Pau Gasol,Dirk ,Melo and some other ex players were at the game
    Very entertaining sport.Don't get why USA isn't serious.

    All our best players are playing Big 3 right now, it’s like soccer at the Olympics, the best players don’t leave their clubs.

    3x3 players need to compete in official FIBA 3x3 competitions in order to become ranked, and only ranked players are allowed to participate in the olympics. that's why the US team is comprised of jimmer fredette, one of rick barry's sons, and a few other no names

    pretty sure the qualifiers took place during the season/playoffs, so that'll rule out any active players from competing

    Serbia come back from -24 and eliminated Australia in OT.Jokic played almost 39 minutes.
    Germany never had any problems with Greece and Giannis.
    P.S. it's biggest comeback in Olympics history.
    Interesting to see what Serbia can offer in semifinals

    Yeah. My understanding is FIBA specifically has done this to keep the US from dominating another hoops event. Mission accomplished I guess but the product could have been much better to watch.

    Agreed. There are a few different ways to make that a cool event and hopefully someone will realize it as things continue.

    I am not sure on the double ping pong but that does make sense.

    Canada eliminated by France.
    Bye- bye f***ing Brooks who scored 2 points, Murray also played like s*** .
    For France there's 2 draft pics who never played in NBA were difference and Gobert played like 3 minutes.
    Wemba missed everything but did have a couple of blocks and double digits in rebounds.
    But France shot 42 FT it's a joke..

    Reffing for France across all sports has been bonkers in terms of the level of home cooking

    yeah, pretty concerned that if we get to the finals and face france it will be a serious 8 on 5 affair.

    France doesn't stand a chance (besides, they won't beat Germany). US has the gold medal in the bag, no matter the officiating or injuries.
