I dunno. Most of the well known international players aren’t around as much, but I do have a feeling that France may pull something

France if victor wenbenyama plays if not canada

Although, can’t sleep on Canada and Serbia. They got some good hoopers on the team, especially Canada with the underrated defenders

France, Serbia, Canada

Only chance to lose is if all the oldies play at the same time the whole game. Which wont happen.

They will be a very tall team also

Next olympics they'll be even stronger. Lots of young talents.

And BATUUUM

Bs who guarding embieed didnt he give wemby 70 they gonna have to trap him lol.

@@fdbmane4594 how many free throws he shoot in that game again?

Lot of bus riders.

lol yupp... our whole "old" "injured" squad has been resting for months. Love it.

Halibuten doesn't deserve to play with them .

​@@TheDON914what makes you say that?

Extra kick? Man please this ain't the 80 and 90s. These dudes have shown they don't have that drive planty time before. We wouldn't have needed a redeem team if that were true. Even then the last DNA of assassin was Kobe. Without him, they would have lost again.

Maybe other countries care but not these schmucks

​@malnorfleet4925 Eaxctly. This team are Americans playing in the US for US teams and audiences and they don't give a damn. Why would they suddenly care now its international competition?

Get ready to lose by 50

@@raghudurina2354 bro that's a violation, emotional damage hahahahha

It will be such an honor to play against them

Ez chicken for USA and Serbia especially if Jokic will play (most likelyy)

​@@raghudurina2354get ready for USA to lose gold.

thats gonna be funny imo

Yeah. I might agree

The players from the other countries play in the NBA too.

And they hand check and actually have centers in the game .

Fiba is Physical compared to the NBA.that is team USA lose last time

I would also say other country’s basketball teams have NBA experience-the league that has the best basketball players in the world-and players from other leagues who are good enough to play in the NBA. All of the top international teams best player(s) play in the NBA and with that experience coming from the best players on the team their talent has caught up their skill.

The USA will win because the rest of the world doesn't field a team all that international talent isn't centered in one place. USA only loses FIBA because NBA players don't treat the world cup like soccer players do.

But the world cup is where they should be serious. You can't call yourself the best in the world if you're losing to the rest of the world 😂​@@commodorezero

@@sameerramdeen6703To be fair they don't even need the NBA experience. Serbia and Germany had very few NBA players on theur rosters. They simply have better teamplay and are used to FIBA style, unlike NBA it can't be a one-man offense

Hard to win when the other team scores more points.😮

@@chrisomatic3228 Why not?

How many actual all stars were on that USA team to support your claim? Not a single player on the roster had ever been named to an all NBA team. None of them had precious national team experience.

Truth is none of them are in the playoffs right? They all have time off right now.

​@@sueprator9314Edwards, Tatum, and Haliburton are all still playing

He’s from Cameroon. Should be playing there. Dumbest shit ever to just let anyone play for any country. Defeats the entire purpose

He will be the defining factor

Will be a miracle if he plays

@@Afineadditionwhen they choke they will blame him 😂

hopefully Wiggins play. Murray is confirmed. Murray and SGA backcourt is just deadly. If they add Mathurin and Nickeil Alexander-Walker that's icing. They need the right bigs tho Powell, Olynyk, Lyles or even Old Tristan Thompson are good picks for bigs

Stick to ice Hockey

Put your money where your mouth is little boy

Lots of salty Europeans in the comments

No chance?? France may assemble the best defensive team and they have homecourt. Canada is deadly SGA Wiggins and Murray. Serbia with Jokic a threat.

@@user-xd5zq8gg4f 💀

Asking question that dont need to be answered.

It's a lot easier to play aggressive defensive in a few tournament games compared to an 82 game schedule.

That is exactly what the 1972 team said!

@@victorfischer1364 The 1972 team was college players who played like 40 games if they got an in the NIT or the NCAA tourny. what you are same makes no sense.

How many travels is LeBum going to called for?

After playing for a whole season for a team that wanted to tank, I think he will be more motivated than ever

also the USA didn't have size. Small ball doesn't work in FIBA like in the NBA as the court doesn't have the spacing and there is no 3 seconds. Yes we sort of won the Olympics with small ball but 1 we had Bam, one of the best defensive centers in the league and 2 with a super team like Durant, Tatum, Lilard, etc...you can out score anyone but it was still close. At the WC our only true centers were Portis and Kessler, role players. Jaren Jackson was exposed as in the NBA he plays PF and has a center like Adams to do the dirty work but he got out muscled by the European bigs. Same with Banchero who is great but again in the NBA he is a 4, he needs a center to to the dirty work. Look at our teams in 2016 (Deandre and Cousins) & 2014 (AD & Cousins with Faried as well) they dominated the front court

If the coaches were to blame for 2023 they should just send the same players and change the coaches instead of sending better players.

@@rocketfighter8 Both coaches and players were to blame. Steve Kerr does not deserve to be the head coach of this team. His coaching combined with lack of effort from the players, especially on the defensive end, was the problem, not talent. We should have changed both players and coaches with players and coaches that will give much better effort. Talent was not the issue. Effort and coaching was.

@@seanholley7284 I replied directly to the initial comment that the blame is only on the coaches. You should do the same and not preach to the choir (me).

@@gabepizza you are exactly right! even when we got exposed in 2006 we had NO bigs... then we came back in 2008 with Howard and Bosh. 2012 Tyson. 2014 was the biggest wrap ever with all the bigs we had. I would've liked to add chet instead of Kwahi, but getting Embiid will be huge. Embiid, Bam, AD will be a great rotation. we wont lose any offense with them either unlike, 2016, 2021 and last years world cup.

too bad about Simmons

@@nevohyams haha yeah even he a point forward who cant shoot, we could low key use him on the squad tho. He prolly never putting on our uniform tho

Simmons got infected by the other stars in NBA the BUM disease

smaller courts, no travels allowed, Lebron is very limited in FIBA rules

@@jacobscholtissek2410 you realize he's just played in these type of rules multiple times right? 😂

@@corpyhogan4433 yeah and 50% of the time he sucked hard

⁠@@jacobscholtissek2410you realize that LeBron, KD, and Steph all have played for the National team correct

​@CP91230, and they all failed. LeBronze couldn't do it on his own and had DWade and Kobe drag his ass to first place. This team will fail, guaranteed.

"LeDream Team" 🤣🤣🤣 It looks like it. When you build your own team in 2K, kinda similar to that. Wish Dame & Jimmy Buckets are part of it.

We're hoping.

Micić, Bogdanović, Jović, Pokuševski, Jokic

they always do when they play in world cup.... and that lineup lost to germany by 2.

If Steph is there, good things happen. LBJ just bloats and gloats.

steph is no longer a top 5 player and isn't even the best player on the team

@@akz2628Steph is still the best shooter in the world. If Team USA is down by three at the end of the game, it’s undisputed who should get the ball for the last shot.

@@akz2628tell me you didn’t watch a single Warriors game this past season without saying so

@@Deerjason true but he’s still not a top 5 player in the world. I’d say he’s probably 8-10

dem names b sticking doe

I never knew they even had tryouts to begin with. :O

@@sameerramdeen6703 I think they did it when only college players were allowed to play, and it ended with the original Dream Team. I think the famous story about the 1984 team was that Coach Knight actually cut Charles Barkley and John Stockton from the team.

I believe we were doing "tryouts" the past 4-5 international teams. this is the first one in a while that Lebron basically put together. but I'm not worried

Spain ain't even in the Olympics yet

Slim? I wouldn't say slim at all. The US team is too self absorbed and rarely can play together in unison. They all want to be the scoring leader, very little team atmosphere. Skill could get them past these teams in the past, not now.

Spain will be defeated by Bahamas 😂😂😂😂 Ayton,Buddy Hield,Eric Gordon,Kai Jones…they are talking about to add on that roster Klay Thompson,Naz Reid, and Mobley brothers Evan and Nathan. They all have Bahamian eligibility,could try to recruit them and help qualify for Olympics.

​@@stefanpoulin1593So USA have been winning 15 golds by skills alone?

You realize the majority of them have international USAB experience. You absolutely on something if you believe that

LOL centers aren’t a weakness Embiid, AD, and Bam

@CP91230 Embiid and AD would'nt endoure a Game outside the NBA soft rules, and bam can't compete with international centres, too leatle 🤏🏽

Davis and embiid can absolute handle any big from Europe

HAHA def not. They will have a 3 man rotation and wont miss out on offense with anyone. THAT is gonna be huge. because in years past we've had a defensive "big" and an offensive "big" we will actually have 3 two ways bigs who wont have to play 40 mins a game.

@@scruffd0g193 and if some reason they cant... go big (we aren't lacking guard play) and have ad play the 4 where we can "help off embiid" 🤣🤣 that sounds hilarious to say

LeGoat

It's always people with dogs in their profile picture saying the corniest shit 😂

because he played the 6th man role. Hopefully that will be ANT this time around. He will be unstoppable coming in and just playing 100% speed and effort in shorter spurts

@@crzycolchris I mean yeah, but I think the difference between that team and this team is that the 08 team I feel was more about defense and this one is more about the offense. I mean Howard, Lebron, Kobe, Prince all great one on one defenders. Plus I think Coach K is better than Steve Kerr and I’m a warriors fan 😂😂 Also a team with Melo, Lebron and Kobe and still leading the team in scoring is pretty good.

@@redsoxboi1 lol I think coach I I def better than Kerr lol. I don't think Kerr is the best coach on the current team. Eric Spoelatra is better. But I'll say every one of team USA is players are defense capable. Minus maybe Thyrese and Steph. And when they don't have to be the scoring threat on offense they can play that much harder on defense. All our bigs can play d. LeBron in spurts kawhi if he feels like playing. Tatum. Ant and Holiday are elite. Booker and KD can capable as well. I can't wait to watch this!

Honestly we'll need Jrue Holiday for those international players who turn into MJ playing for their countries.. so Holiday, Curry, James, KD, Embiid is my guess.. with a quick spell for James and embiid

2 to 4 players

Over Tatum? Because curry, LeBron, KD and embiid have been the locked in starters for years now.

ant should def be the 6th man energy guy on this team.... Book honestly needs to be the 12 man LOL

You acting as if none of them have USAB experience before. LOL crazy talk here

@@CP91230 it doesn't matter if you have experience. If they are banged up and can't play then what's the point. This team is highly injury prone. Plus chemistry can be a big determining factor in the fiba style basketball. They only got a couple short months. You really trust kawhi, embiids, ad, Halliburton health rn?

LMao

The dream and redeem teams were quite literally the type of team you described, and they got gold 😂

Although he led teams to like 11 nba finals and has won four rings. But yeah he’s incapable of being that guy do u hear yourself bro

@@tommymy210 Pretty sure someone had to bring Kobe to save LeBum after back2back bronze medals. If anyone it will be antman that will lead these chokers.

I hear ya. The rules are different specially in the physicality of the game. There's no way james will get the calls he's been getting now and have that freethrow discrepancy advantage he's been having. Sure 11 finals appearances and 4 rings.. in the NBA where the rules cater to offense and softer playstyle. Team USA still has the tools to medal though as long as they don't play NBA style of basketball

Bro how TF can someone call LeBron soft

@@cffritvij2906 You can find tens of lebums crying complaning floping compilations how can anyone not call him soft is the question...

I am one of those, but you got a point

They'll make their fury known in the Olympics

more rest for them

It's not a one person sport

Jordan was retired when he was their ages. Never sniffed the playoffs when he returned either.

yupp I was happy to see our "old dudes" all out of the playoffs early.. no excused on tired legs. Just gotta get Tyrese better.. Tatum and Holiday are the only ones playing, but holiday one the chip 3 years ago got on a play the same day and flew to olympics. he'll be alright come next month.

I take that as a yes
