“I was watching as a proud American”

I have never felt that way about sports and don’t think I ever will.

Anyone else?

I hate seeing all this "who won the game/gets most credit" talk the shows have been doing since they won. They were down by 13 points going into the 4th quarter LeBron, Steph, KD, Embiid and Booker made big shots, got steals and rebounds to pull out that win, it was a TEAM win

 

[Costanza]

Looks like Curry was photographed taking a shit and photoshopped into a uniform and onto the court.

 

[shaddyvillethug]

I didnt realize they got 3 rings after the comment. I thought it was the year KD left.

Miami went to finals every year. The chicago kid fell off a cliff and was trash by year 4 and Pat Riley didnt know his fucking place so Bron had to show him by taking his talents back to Ohio.

No, Bosh fucking almost died.

 

[shaddyvillethug]

Also I’ll be out there in a week, what’s good besides pizza, @shaddyvilletourismguide?

You talking about food? Or actives and things to do?

All of the above.

SERBIA VS GERMANY on now

 

[Costanza]

That’s a bad man…

Agree.

I think that speaks to this argument:

 

[pookie]

Agree.

I think that speaks to this argument:

LeBron just had a triple double to beat Serbia to play for the gold medal...lol

 

[Costanza]

LeBron just had a triple double to beat Serbia to play for the gold medal...lol

>>> a triple-double

No way LeBron was more valuable in their head-to-head games. The previous game Jokic sat only nine minutes and those are the only minutes the US won.

 

[REDLINE]

Finally Tatum’s in

I was confused why the equipment manager was out there

LeBron had triple double in BEATING Jokic team so how are you gonna say he wasn't more valuable, then Jokic is wearing a bronze while Lebron going for gold so how you figure he's over LeBron

LeBron is on a much much much better team and, as you articulated, was not central to their victory.

Unless you think that a player on a losing team can’t be most valuable, it seems pretty clear cut. Jokic was much more valuable in his team’s 2nd place finish than any US player to their success.

His triple double was central to their victory and you're right a player being valuable to their THIRD place team shouldn't be MVP in my opinion

Nawwww, Lebron was trying to get the charge......

 

[BenQ]

 

[REDLINE]

Never try to take a charge on a dunk

 

[Costanza]

Nawwww, Lebron was trying to get the charge......

It was a smart attempt.

“Posterizationphobia” discouraging block/charge attempts is bad, no shame in it.

 

[Costanza]

I’m not seeing anybody with value to Team USA comparable to Jokic’s to Serbia.

Wemby and the other good French player have been the most valuable in this game, only reason it is even close.

 

[Amajorfucup]

>>> a triple-double

And first in bronze metals.

And got his ass kicked 3 times in two weeks by Bron.

 

[CORNBREAD]

 

[LordSinister]

Wtf?

 

[Amajorfucup]

Bron has been best player on best team. Undefeated and has defeated Serbia 3 times and France twice.

Oh, and he also plays high level defense. Something Jokic cant and wont do.

At 65-56, Wemby’s 20 is 36% of his team’s points.

Finally Tatum’s in

Bad idea. Last time he was in that lineup lost a 7 point lead.

 

[Amajorfucup]

Antman...

 

[REDLINE]

Curry Is The Best Shooter Ever

 

[Big Tex]

Steph hit that last shot to shut pops up lol

BRUH
