This team needs a Kobe
Bean would’ve been put a stop to this shit
You took that and went another directionMost Kobe fans root for Team USA to lose for this very reason and never celebrate their success. Kobe was ashamed of being Black and American, so it's not shocking his fans aren't patriotic and care more about his individual legacy than our community and country. This Team USA doing it without fan support is why they are the best all time.

I was saying his on the court mentality and leadership, wasn’t going into politics. Just because they are more skilled doesn’t mean they play like it. It shouldn’t be a switch with them. That’s how you end up getting upset, letting people stick aroundNo I'm being truthful. Most Kobe fans aren't celebrating this team, just look at this board for example. Kobe fans are more invested in summer league.
We have to be honest that Kobe and Jordan Brand aren't really patriotic brands and only promote themselves.
Team USA has won gold 4 straight Olympics, but Americans treat them as unprovens every Olympics instead of the dominant best that they've been. So what if a game is close early, stop acting like these dudes is unproven and ain't the most skilled in the world. Fans in other countries are more celebratory and loyal to their teams.
They need a better coach,Kerr doesn’t scream defense. This shit is embarrassing and is a wake up call

That arrogance, they are playing a black team. You tried it thoughAmericans just socially can't accept Black Americans being the best and most skilled at something. There's always the unwarranted fear that some team somewhere in the world is gonna prove they are better than the Blacks.![]()

Clearly you hate Kobe that’s your choice. Again my comment was on court basketball related. But you’re correct about the GWH great white hype theoryNo, they are playing a foreign team from Africa. White people will root for aliens to beat Black Americans. US Sports will always be based on that dichotomy. White fans rooting to see Black Americans lose, even the ones on their national team. But hey, at least they can promote a deceased shooting guard who hasn't played in the Olympics in over 12 years right?![]()
If you speaking on me, this the first game I’ve got to see because I was locked up. I’m not rooting them to lose I’m saying they need to get their heads out their ass, play defense, hustle, play team ball. It’s funny that when you criticize a team and say you WANT THEM TO DO BETTER, someone comes along and says you want them to lose smhAnd as I predicted, this thread would get more posts and activity when they are in a close game than when they blow teams out. Americans root for their basketball team to lose.![]()

Bam and AD line up> embiidStarting the second half with more of a defensive squad
Omot![]()
Why is Tatum taking his difficult ass Celtics shots with so many quality players around him?
Bam and AD line up> embiid
They should have known that foul merchant shit doesn't work outside of the NBAThere is politics going on why Embiid is starting. We can no longer pretend foreign players don't benefit from bias and favoritism.
Embiid is a liability and everyone knows it. His style doesn’t translate to this. Glad to see them playing defense, shot selection is killing emBam and AD line up> embiid
