J-ALL-DAY Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Fournier flopped like a mutha to get that call lmao. France just made this game ugly with the foul calls to get back in the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not the NBA. Trae ain’t getting any calls with FIBA rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coming into this game he was 2nd to KD in scoring and he's also 2nd to KD in scoring this game. Depends how many Olympics he plays. KD played three and was the leading scorer averaging around 19 in all of them. Will be hard for Tatum to surpass KD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure but my point is that with those 3 they won't need to rely on so many isos. Lillard can't seem to press a PnR at all so the offense stalls out a bunch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh no doubt it will be difficult, but I just think if there was a candidate out of the young guys that he is probably the most likely. Quote Jayson Tatum was 15 when he made his first USA Basketball national team. It was 2013, when he got picked to play in the FIBA Americas U16 championships in Uruguay. And one of the biggest thrills from that experience was getting his jersey. It bore No. 10. Kobe Bryant's number. Tatum's favorite player's number. Bryant wore No. 24 and No. 8 with the Los Angeles Lakers, but he donned No. 10 for USA Basketball when he helped the Americans capture gold medals at the 2008 and 2012 Olympics. Tatum has worn that number as part of U.S. teams several times since -- and will wear it at the Tokyo Olympics, where the Americans will aim to capture a fourth consecutive gold medal. "With this being the first Olympics since we lost him, it holds that much more value," Tatum said. "It's not something I take lightly." "With this being the first Olympics since we lost him, it holds that much more value. It's not something I take lightly." Jayson Tatum, on wearing the No. 10 for Team USA I think he's gonna play in as many Olympics as he can. Obviously if KD plays in 2024 he can make it almost impossible for him.

Booker/Trae/Zion/Tatum/Lavine/Bam are probably on the next squad, then possibly guys like Lamelo and Spida. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will be 36 in 2024 and he's put in more than enough work. Time to let some of the youngsters get some shine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
