Christian Wood to the Lakers on a 2 year deal
From a talent standpoint good pick up but scheme he will fall out the rotation and be traded by the deadline

Shoutouts to Dillon Brooks for making Luka Doncic's life absolutely miserable on defense and getting ejected during the 4th for whispering sweet nothings in to Klemen Prepelic's ear. Terrible call but Luka got ejected 30 seconds later for yelling at the refs too much so it didn't rly matter. Luka came back out after the end to congratulate Canada while Dillon Brooks was nowhere to be seen because he was doing this. Thanks Dillon.

Watching people tell stories about Kobe being a total asshole but it now being examples of 'Mamba mentality' is quite something.
I mean, RIP Kobe and all, but an asshole is an asshole. Same goes for Jordan being a douchebag to everyone.

Literally gave the rest of the team a seminar on how to guard Luka just before the 4th like dude had a That's So Raven moment and saw himself getting ejected in a few minutes

So is Canada just continuing to surprise people?
Or is this now the new expectation with all that NBA talent?

Canada I am not surprised about
No one is talking about Germany being undefeated

Same goes for Jordan being a douchebag to everyone. I just got through listening to "Three Ring Circus" on Amazon Audible. It's about Shaq,Kobe and Phil Jackson during their 3 peat run and idk how Noone killed Kobe during that time period. Guy was unbearable to be around. It's a very good book with alot of behind the scenes info.

The coach of the currently undefeated, guaranteed to go to the olympics, now semi-finalists Team Germany being asked "where do you think you guys can improve" and giving an answer of effectively "where the f*** do I even start" is way too endearing

Unfortunately we as a country have found out that if you live the small ball you must die by the small ball.

It's always fun to see U.S. fans undermine international teams, saying that beating other countries would be easy based on the amount of NBA players on the other team but, once they lose, they ask why Curry, Durant, LeBron or any other American star player wasn't in their team.

Picked up NBA 2K24 for the Series S last night and man it's amazing but nearly 200GB is FN RIDICULOUS. Are there still textures from the Dreamcast in this or what? Why is the compression so horrible?

Question: What's the most embarrassing thing you could possibly do to overshadow the fact that you just had your best World Cup run *ever* and made the semi finals for the first time in history
WHYYYYYYYYYYY DUDE THIS IS PAINFUL ðŸ˜

This really is the year where Team USA's go down in embarrassing fashion I guess lol
It was bound to happen too, other world teams are now getting NBA caliber players who are solid and can make a complete team, and the USA Team is now down to rookies, bench players, and some decent upper tier guys like Brunson and Edwards
Just like Women's Soccer, the world has caught up, but in the NBA's case as well, the actual stars don't play in these games anymore and won't risk injuries.
Saw a quote that summed it up well, "In 92 you had Michael Jordan, in 2023 you have Austin Reaves"

It's not about stars imo(replace Brunson and Edwards with a healthy Curry and someone like Durant or Booker and you still have the same problems)I feel like Team Usa wins the tournament if they have someone like Kevon Looney on the boards to prevent 2nd chance points.Germany and Lithuiana were just absolutely destroying the Usa on the glass because Us didn't bring in guys who can box out.

Yeah, talent wise they were fine as far as guards and stuff go but they were very undersized. JJJ despite being an all world defender is still a foul hound and they had no one to replace him and got smoked on the glass
