I didnt but I knew the US would win. Yes, this one was competitive but the others were mostly blow outs. I just didnt find it all that awesome to see a bunch of multi-millionaires win the Gold medal
What does that have to do with gold-medal?
I know that people think its awesome that we send the best NBA players to the Olympics to destroy the other teams. Same people who love the fact that the Miami Heat goes out and buys a title and that the Lakers have 4 superstars in their starting lineup. Personally, I think the NBA is now a joke and Olympic basketball kind of is too. Just my opinion and I know its in the minority.
Why does it matter if we're not the only team sending out players over the age of 25? If there were an age restriction, we would still win
Probably but it wouldnt be a 100% sure thing. By the way, soccer in the Olympics allows only 3 players over the age of 23 for any team.
I've always wondered how Soccer worked.
Here's a list of some good NBA players 23 and under that would have been eligible for this year's Olympics.
Kevin Durant
Derrick Rose (injured)
Blake Griffin
Kevin Love
James Harden
Russell Westbrook
Demarcus Cousins
Eric Gordon
Kyrie Irving
John Wall
Klay Thompson
Demar Derozan
Tyreke Evans
Kawhi Leonard
Derrick Favors
Including Anthony Davis and basically everyone else from this last draft.
I like our chances
Rose/Westbrook/Durant/Griffin/Cousins
