basketballwise, he does look like MJ😂

Thats what Kay from the E told me !

@@hannibal2363his turnaround baseline jumper is like a mirror image of MJ it’s crazy. His fluidity and hops remind be more of MJ than Jimmy Butler.

@@Schmandgrabwhat ya mean by that?

Agreed

Fact’s it’s so refreshing just watching pure hoops. No soft shit, just pure hard grit basketball

If you were paying these guys salaries, I’m sure you’d want to limit as many injury risks as possible

100% if this was an NBA match the last 5 min would have been 90% free throws and flopping on ghost contact smfh.... NBA needs to take notice of how great FIBA ball looks with our athletes getting to actually play real basketball

The hand-check rule really f*cked up the nba.

F*** germany 🙂 everytime germany loses, Europeans win.

The Wagner bro's are going to be excellent this season.

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Yeah they beat Canada recently too

Germany with over 90m people should do better.

I like him trying to be the distributor get everyone involved guy but hes also the best 3pt shooter on the team

I give credit to Denis Schroeder, that dude was killing us! Man, has Anthony Edwards stepped up or what? Paolo Banchero and Bobby Portis also played well and there were others. These dudes play hard and they play for each other, I'm enjoying this team. GO USA!

@@cardphins68I just love seeing competitive basketball from both sides but super proud of Team USA 🎉🎉🎉

Reaves was getting cooked. Had a nice steal when the game was already over though

commend haliburton's 3s as well

I think it's great that Basketball is a Global Game and the World has a come a long way in 31 years. These competetive games are great and I LOVE seeing the "next" generation of NBA Superstars step up. I plan on following this upcoming tourney. GO USA! @@everythinglakers1713

True, but they also have this issue of fumbling such leads. This was not the first time this happened :) I hope they can take that next step and stick to the game plan late in games. If they do, they will even have a shot at the title this year.

@@MrSheduur Yes, absolutely correct. But I'm confident they will manage to improve that. In general, I have the strong feeling most people underestimate what that German team is capable of, at least our local bookmakers are with +2600 Germany vs. +185 USA to win the championship 😄

They are, in fact, both top 4 teams

Nobody talking about JJJ. Crazy amount of blocks to keep them in the game from the block panther

JJJ's D and Ant and Hali's O won it

He can't rebound to save his life

@@vincentga7243 His true position is the 4 though to be fair it just shows how much of a threat the grizzlies are this upcoming season when BC and Steven Adams get back in the lineup

He also is playing the most, wish Austin got more minutes

Why are ya surprised?

Edwards will not dominate the worldcup. There 10 european players that are way better than him !!!!

edwards is the guy in this team. team goes where he goes but given a chance htere are guys who could also take over games in this team...hope they give austin more playin time

Was looking for this comment. Haliburton jumping up and down kicking his feet n shit. Love to see it

@@poopoostinkass hali been doin it for reeves for a few games now - nice to see its mutual haha

Last dunk was heartfelt man!!

Team USA war mächtig am Schwimmen, 16 Punkte lagen die zwischenzeitlich zurück ! Am Ende hat's leider nicht geklappt mit dem Sieg ! Aber wenn die auch solche Leistungen zeigen und bzw abrufen können die ganze weit kommen ! Eine Medaille finde ich persönlich zu vermessen ! Gold macht Team USA oder die werden wieder von einem Europäischen Team geschlagen, mal schauen ! Alles ist möglich!

I’m French but your team has been awesome against team USA that was an elite basketball display ! Loved this matchup wish you the best for the WC !

Beste Deutscher Basketball Mannschaft soweit!..Schröder als früher,die Wagner Brüdern und Bonga in Top Form, war sehr schön die Mannschaft anzuschauen.

Black Mamba Mentality as well.

He's 6'4

Reminds you of Kobe, Allen Iverson, Vince Carter and T-Mac huh?

I was just thinking too about how his little elbow band reminds me of early 2000s style. Like Kobe Vince tmac etc. plus his game is similar too.

Edwards is 6’3-6’4 bro

That was a great game guys, congratulations and all the best in the FIBA tournament 🤝

Y’all played amazing and don’t worry about the loss, back to back are always extremely tough no matter who you face

Wir können richtig stolz sein! Bin heiss auf Freitag und alles was kommt. Wird lit! 🔥🏀🇩🇪

Gott se Danke

Magic are gonna be a playoff team in the East 💯 I believe in all their guys to take the next leap and super happy that Reaves will be in the purple and gold for four more years! 🎉

Yeah they were playing the redeem team not these guys lol

Sorry bud. I wouldn't consider this development. 2008, we had our best players in the league playing. If we did the same this year, score would be similar. Imagine Bron, KD and Curry on the floor lmao.

Two quaters of pure domination from Germany leading to a 14 Point lead! Its so sad that they we're on a pure fatigue Level from the Greece game the day before ! US had a day more rest ! Still Germany was better than Spain against USA ! Germany momentarly best European Team against USA , although it was an Exhibition Tournament in Abu Dhabi! If Team Germany brings this form also to the WC , we all remember the embarassing WC 2019 against Domenican Republik and the exit out of the tournemant, they could go far ! They have the best German team since decades and more NBA players than in the past with only " German.Wunderkind Nowitzki ! So sad that Hartenstein and Kleber arent on this team ! We will see what Germany is capable of achieving at the next wc tournemant! Good luck to them ! 😊

Yeah team Germany can hold their heads high they played the hardest out of everyone so far...you just can't beat any US team if you gonna allow the best players to run the offense thru them! Brunson/Hali controlled the flow of the game and even when it failed and Germany adjusted to take a commanding lead- team USA had AntMan shooting & athleticism to rely on same as Kobe,Bron & MJ in years prior! Props to Germany ..Franz & Schroeder should def be looking to get max contracts at next renegotiation👌🏿Orlando is a team to watch

Pause.

@@erikthe10man lmao

@@tomcoolman9422 5

not really. he was the assists leader of the last world cup in 2019 with almost 10 a game.

Which begs the question why does he turn into a mediocre playmaker in the NBA? Because in theory, the faster NBA pace and more space should make it easier for him to make plays since his game thrives on speed and penetration... I think the problem with him in the NBA is the 3pt line being further... Teams can sag off him defensively on the perimeter and he can't make them punish from three... A shorter FIBA 3pt line is more his range. Even there he can be very inconsistent, but usually he shoots it with more confidence and can hit north of 33%... In the NBA he can't hit from 3-ball range and sagging defenses + drop take away his ability to penetrate, so he's much less effective.

No the reason is NBA basketball is ultra static, no cuts or no one to send those dishes to, you can’t do those passes with guys who camp at the 3 point line

Ahah true

@@zennihilator3724because the Ball hast to go to lbj or ad and everybody knows or sees that .. the fiba game is very different .. everybody is cutting and running and not waiting to get the ball .. bad nobody is to tier .. see USA with Kobe LeBron Carmelo.. who saved the day .?? Wade 3 did … it changes every game .. that’s why the NBA is turning real mediocre

he will be the face of the nba , he's next, mark my words

He's the real second coming

And ball hog

Lol we'll see in the real games Ingram is the best he just don't hogg the ball

@@harry1974Kaman was American I thought

Bro they been together for mad years. The Euroleague just had their qualifying fiba tournament last year

Lol, this is probably the least athletic Team USA i can remember... Only Edwards is an S-tier athlete. The rest are nothing to write home about in that regard with maybe the exception of Jarren Jackson Jr... And it was fully on display in this game where the struggled to break Germany off the dribble all game and couldn't really punish them in transition either.

@@zennihilator3724 it may be the least athletic US team but they are still above most international teams. Edwards and the amount of blocks on the defense end show that.

​@@davinnicodethey got out-rebounded by 12 and hounded with traps all game

@@davinnicode Yeah, cause most international teams have no superstars (outside of Luka and maybe SGA) and like 3, 4 NBA players at most? That's literally the field... And yet i can still see several teams beating this US team in a one-off knockout game, namely Germany, Spain, Australia, Canada, France and Serbia... Make no mistake, the US is and should be favorites, they still brought the most talent in a vacuum for this competition... But that was the case in 2019 as well and they got what...? 7th place in the end? All it takes is an off shooting night from 3 and Edwards/Brunson not being able to get hot... That's all, because US has no ability anymore to dominate the transition or dominate through size. They utilize smallball lineups, except their Bigs can't shoot or pass and they're playing on less spacious FIBA courts with more physical defense...

Indeed Anthony Edwards is a real beast of a player

That dunk from Theis was also mind blowing and Obst three pointer with Foul in US player face was. a 4 point gameplay!😂 But than team USA made a three pointer in Germanys face!😂😅

Yes facts

Okay

players can actually get in to the game , and so can us fans.

But how did USA recover through 3-.

Each of these games matter as opposed to having 82 games to figure it out in the nba season. Enjoy the show and stop complaining. You sound like you watch real housewives

@@FloydWhoElseTV You must not know much about basketball or either young. This is how the NBA was played in the 80, 90s and 00s. The whole 82 games is bs. Team in back in the day played well for all 82.

@@buyingbuckets6014 we aren't in the 80s and 90s. Get over it. Teams also use to walk the ball up or back down their opponent 94 feet back than just to start the offense thru the big man. Man those were the days. Get a life. I'll take highly skilled over brusier basketball. Fiba rules allows the big man to sleep in the lane. Also no goaltending. Yup that's fun

Not together tbh, they were desperate and singular performances from Edwards and Haliburton by taking tough threes brought them back in. The american team won DESPITE playing rather lackluster, and most of this falls onto germany for choking the last 7 minutes after they controlled the game from the start with good team basketball and patience on offense. Germany deconstructed the Team USA defense for most of this game. They went away from this in the last 7 minutes and barely had any off ball movement anymore. Germany threw the game, that is the story of this game.
