Bo Jackson and Deion Sanders have entered the chat.. granted some time ago...

- And you don't think that was impressive?
- Weren't they before Chase? Like, way before?

Kevin Durant is the best Team USA player of alltime. What a performance.

This is blatantly false. I guess you didn't bother to watch the one where he only missed one shot and had the highest +/- of all Team USA? Cool, cool.

Everyone on Team USA had a brutal start, Lebron and Steph turnovers [6 for Lebron!], guys missing their shots, everyone looked bad until Durant checked in. Embiid played much better in H2.

Yeah, he missed his FTs, it happens. Trying to extrapolate an 11-minute sample size is loltarded.

Embiid is the 2nd best player on the planet and has been for the past 4 years. A few rough minutes doesn't change that one bit.

Didn't say anything regarding about Chase being impressive.. just the fact that Bo/Deion were the last crossover sports stars prior...

Any chance you want argue that fact?

This guy obviously didn't watch the game. Imagine being so certain about something thats so wrong.

He shot 2-5 from the floor 0-3 on FTs and he was the only player on the team with a negative +/-

what on earth were you even looking at to be so wrong?

It would be hard to think straight when you're covered in Embiid's jizm.

And he's calling out someone else for not watching the game...BO is crazy lol

[drobfan8]

I don't know if the US will get truly tested this Olympics.

Canada, Aus or the French maybe.

If USA shoots half decent they'll be fine.

Great games tonight. Canada vs USA to avoid the US bracket I think in the quarters and semis.

Greece vs Spain should be good too. Giannis is beasting

It would have taken 1 minute to just look at a box score to see too

Not watching the game on top of not looking at the box score and then calling someone else out is just peak BO.

Of course we won't see a response

I think Canada is probably the only team who can really give the US a run for their money and even Canada can't match the US size.

I would say Germany and Canada. Germany has the offensive firepower to keep it competitive.

[bkcardcollector]

ya, i think germany is defending world champs...

[drobfan8]

I think Canada by 10 to 12 pts tonight.

The Aussie bigs would have to play ouy of their skins to get us an upset.

Should be a decent game though.

[bkcardcollector]

I was surprised with Lansdale on AUS. He probably equals the Olynyk, Powell, Lyles, Birch quadruple-headed, undersized monster

but yeah, they would have to dominate there to have a chance against the rest of the lineup

[jcardstore]

I only caught the 2nd half of Spain v Greece but it was a fun *almost* comeback.

Don’t think either team is going to medal.

What the hell is Coco Gauff doing?

Jock is great. Perfect pick and roll guy.

It's a shoot out this game. Kinda boring and exactly how Canada want to win.

SGA's mid range is so nice.

Losing her sh*t in addition to her match it seems.

It was a bad call, but one point. Can’t lose focus like she did over one point.

That’s our flag bearer…

[bkcardcollector]

should be a good 4th!

[bkcardcollector]

gimme some olympic olynyk plz

[bkcardcollector]

i guess i like berch, percentages were he was going to make some fgs. I think he fits best with this team though of the bigs. All the others are getting at the ends of their careers.

[Kingofkings1281]

Japan on the verge of a pretty big upset here.
