Many, rightfully, could quibble with Kerr's rotations throughout the Olympics. Not down the stretch today though. The best 7 players played when it mattered down the stretch.

Agreed
Dinsy Ejotuz

Such a cheat code. That last one really just shouldn't be possible.

I keep thinking that cordinier is Klay Thompson

Won't ever see that again. LeBron, Durant, and Curry.

Steph is underrated in the greatest (top 10) conversations for sure.

Seriously. I am concerned for Team USA next time actually.

Agreed. He knew what it was when it mattered.

The home crowd in France made a huge difference for that team the last two games.
In four years the United States may be the team that needs the crowd in Los Angeles to win gold again.
The rest of the world has closed the gap a great deal, and in four years the US (probably?) won't have LeBron, Curry, or Durant to make the biggest plays needed to win.

The tie breaker should be who has read more books.
Ghost Rider

Agreed. LeBron, Steph and Durant all came up the biggest and the most when it was needed.

Great game. Feels like the end of an era. Bonus points for Batum getting bloodied.

I kept thinking the French guy with the headband and afro was Ben Wallace
Capella

Somebody on Twitter called him Beignet Wallace lol
Major

LOL, wish I came up with that. With the same color scheme as Detroit the resemblance was uncanny.

2012: not a star yet
2016: right after NBA finals (didn't have him or LeBron or others - Klay, Draymond, Durant, and Harrison Barnes all played)
2020 (2021): weird timing put it right in the middle of an annual golf tournament he hosts or something I think (plus the playoffs ran right into training camp/overlapped - remember Booker/Middleton/Holiday flying from finals to Tokyo?)

if we learned anything from these Olympics it's that Lebron just isn't very good

And ir takes at least 10 other all stars and Jayson Tatum for him to win anything.

I appreciate your Lebron book schtick. One of the best things in this thread

I was watching this on an American Airlines flight (which thankfully had live TV) and my wife had to tell to keep it down because each 3 got a bigger reaction from me including at least one audible “holy $—!!”

Watched today at the HOF. There is a bar connected to the hall. I had to ask them to put the game on.

I’m glad you liked it. I enjoyed that apparently everyone in this thread has been living under a rock for the past decade.

I don't like James because I am Piston fan and some other minor gripes, but he is arguably the best player ever. (I have him second) and by all accounts he is a really good human being with his charity work and complete lack of scandals despite being the most watched player on the planet for the better part of 2 decades.

I never said anything about him being a good person or not. By all accounts, he’s a good father and I think he does mean well.
The basketball player, which is all I’m interested in flops around, wants all the attention in the world and over dramatizes any and everything. He’s a victim Jerry Jones. Flails around like he’s been hit by a bat and the replay will show he wasn’t even touched in that spot. But that won’t stop him from going on in agony for an additional three minutes and we all have to just pretend to ignore it.. That’s his basketball character
As far as his basketball skills, he’s a ginormous human who has one move in his bag, crossover, put his head down drive through the hole. don’t get me wrong. It’s a dominant trait. Hes a skilled passer, almost great defender and pretty good three-point shooter.
In the end, it’s the flopping in the pretending for me. It’s just bizarre.
He’s a great player, but you can have him.

Probably not the right thread for this, but I watched the WBB Gold Medal game today, and that was ugly basketball. I can't recall ever seeing so many shots missed within 3 feet of the basket as the US team missed. Add to that the turnovers and the offensive rebounds allowed, and they were very lucky to win. I will say that I was surprised the refs allowed the game to be as physical as it was, that was a factor.

Yeah well that’s what I thought too but live betting the under in the 3rd quarter still didn’t work out

I get that many don't like him, but anyone hating on him at this point just looks silly.

Most hyped athlete to ever actually live up to it and more?

He was seemingly the most hyped high school basketball player ever. What about Gretsky or any other top tier all time hockey player? Were they hyped at that level at high school age? I think Tiger hype started in college. What about tennis... did Serena or Federer or Nadal have hype at as young an age as Lebron? Interesting question.

Tiger is a good compare. He won 4 consecutive amateur championships from age 13-16 and was one of the most media hyped athletes of all-time. And similar to LeBron he’s the 2nd best ever at his sport.

I know it's an obvious troll/bait, but I want to be on record that it's actually kind of ridiculous to not have Tiger as the golf GOAT. At least Jordan/LeBron is an argument where reasonable minds can disagree.Tiger is a good compare.

I think there’s a solid argument for Nicklaus. The biggest one being many think the competition was better with Jack - at least the top end guys. Field was deeper with Tiger and if he hadn’t shot himself in the foot he would definitely be - but I do think there’s an argument to be had.

Agreed. When Phil Michelson, John Daly, and Sergio are your biggest challengers you kind of have it easy. That said, he dominated so much that better competition may not have made much of a difference.I know it's an obvious troll/bait, but I want to be on record that it's actually kind of ridiculous to not have Tiger as the golf GOAT.

So who is on the 2028 Team USA that wasn't there this year to take Lebron, Curry, and KD spots? My bet is Embiid and White don't play again on the team either. Will Bam and AD still be able to play?
I think Maxey and Jalen Brown are likely. I am worried a Bronze at best is coming.
