    Upset alert! 🏀#USA

    France shocks @TeamUSA in men's #basketball group play, 83-76. That snaps a 25-game Olympic win streak for the U.S - dating back to 2004.

    Laker, it's true. Olympic Bask just an after-thought for these guys.

    In fairness to the NBA player, why SHOULD they care? Take a guy like Holiday. Played a long playoffs, wins Finals, attend the parade (I think), then jet off to Japan to prep for the Olympics.

    I agree about the college players. B4 they brought the pros in, the USA had some nice rosters. Effectively the Coll Bask All-star team. Didn't always win. But they were honored to be on that team.

    Laker, funny little story:

    *I met Rick Majerus a few times, and I watched many of his videos.

    Majerus coached various teams. NBA and NCAA, of course. But he also volunteered to coach Paralympics and Special Olympics. He said that THOSE athletes displayed the most pride by far.

    the guys who were in the nba finals shouldnt have played. I wouldnt be surprised if this has a lingering effect next year since it will be like a normal season again (mid-october start, 82 games which they havent seen in 2 years, mid june end). No offseason at all plus the normal amount of games.

    I will always support USA sports regardless of certain political leanings of the athletes and views. Just like when I had to endure a stupid President for 4 years I always rooted for this Great Country.

    But then they will blame the NBA for making them play games on back to back days. Just imagine having to work two days in a row. Such a hard thing. Then again they can take the night off so that family that spent $500 plus can go to game and dad can try to explain to them that they superstar guys needed to rest. What league out of the 4 major sports do players regularly take games off besides the nba?

    That is because women in the US have more freedom than women in other countries were their focus is primarily on the men's sports.

    USA Coach Gregg Popovich on Tokyo Olympic opening loss to France: "When you lose a game, you're not surprised. You're disappointed. I don't understand the word 'surprised.' That sort of disses the French team, as if we're supposed to beat them by 30. That's a hell of a team."

    People sort of forget his start as the Spur coach. He fired Hill and moved down to take over the team:

    *After a 3–15 start to the 1996–97 season, Hill was fired by one of his bosses, Gregg Popovich, who thereafter replaced Hill as the Spurs coach. Hill's firing at the time was puzzling to some and deeply angered Hill, considering his previous success and the fact that the poor start to the season was due in large part to injuries to David Robinson and Sean Elliott, the team's two best players.[

    The DRob injury couldn't have worked out better. Spurs effectively tanked the season, set up the draft pick for Duncan. David Robinson came back from injury, Duncan was a rising star, team was set up to win.
