    No mac, you got it all wrong.

    He's obviously overcompensating for being gay and still in the closet.

    Are you saying that rich men never try to hide behind beautiful women to make it seem like they aren't gay? Because that has never happened before. Not everyone is Elton John bro.

    I don’t know the man. He could be. Not that it matters to me. But I dont get why in 2021, a guy is on the down low with women to look like he’s gay? It’s a waste of time and effort. Why would the women date him if he’s not putting out? Why would this girl get engaged? Maybe he’s bisexual which to each his own. A lot of people have no preference. I like bisexual women. I’m a Cavs fan and I’ve never heard this rumor? Didn’t Love play with Jason Collins who came out in Loves rookie season?

    unde, I just never heard this rumor before. I understand the dynamic but Love seems pretty open about his life. He’s kept it pretty simple and has always had a girl by his side. Usually the closet ones have a few good guy friends that are always around. Like Aaron Rodgers. Haha

    They played together but Collins did not come out until the end of his career when his twin brother was long retired.

    Hayward is the best white American going today, but there are better black Americans at his position... it's got to be a frontline realistically. At the World Cup it was Lopez AND Plumlee, but that team lost so they're not keen to bring any of those guys back.

    Draymond Green doesn't belong on the team either FWIW. He's only there because he's got championship rings. Many other guys could get championship rings if they played with Curry/ Thompson/ Durant.

    Man, that seems so long ago. I didn’t know he announced after his brother retired.

    I agree on Hayward, which is why I thought of a spot up shooter like Reddick. Draymond is shook like Simmons. He refuses to shoot the ball. Maybe brought in to be an enforcer, bad guy type?

    This team looks beatable to me. A lot of guys known to choke in crunch time. I might have to fade in spots?

    Strange but true. What happened? We had a lot of talented white players in the US. Now, it's mostly Euros?

    Okay, I overstated a bit. There's 546 NBA players. 420 are from the US. Not close to half. 19 are from Canada and 9 are from Australia, including Kyrie Irving and Ben Simmons.

    Pop was right, to a certain extent, down in San Antonio when he said he preferred international players to American players because of the work ethic.

    Ginooooobli!! Pop has a point. NBA American players are spoiled these days and don't put in the work anymore. Look at Ben Simmons for example who can't even make a free throw. I see that as a lack of work ethic.

    USA will win easily. Serbs don't have Jokic nor Bogdan. Spain are past their sell by date. Argentina aren't sneaking up on anyone.

    As long as the USA puts real veterans out there, they'll win gold.

    Mac, why are you saying the only way USA can win is if they put NBA players out there?

    Obviously.

    Every other country puts professional basketball players, what are oyu gonna do, win the olympics with some 18 year old kids? Lol. Never.

    There used to be a time when our college kids (not 18) could bring home the gold but now with one and dones and the emergence of the game internationally, our college guys can't compete any longer. I agree with the lack of worth ethic and lack of mental toughness.

    Of course we'll be favored but I don't think they are going to have an easy go of it. Might even lose a game or 2, I think???

    Australia is better defensively than most NBA teams with Ingles, Dellavodova, Thybulle , Simmons, and Baynes. i think Simmons might have something to prove too they could be dangerous.

    They will get dismantled by us. Dellavodova can't even play in the NBA anymore. Now he's gonna check Damian Lillard in the Olympics? Lol.

    Boomers were at their peak when they had the Bogut/ Baynes frontline. Now they're old, like Spain. I reckon Slovenia would be the #2 team, although they do have to qualify first.

    Who on that roster is clutch? Who hasn't choked in crunch time? On paper, USA looks great but under pressure, I see a bunch of guys that are afraid of the bright lights. Unfortunately, Spain, Australia, Argentina are old. I'm curious to see what Nigeria looks like? They are slowing building up a good program. I think we play them in an exhibition in a couple of weeks??
