American civilians are better armed than your military rofl

Just say thanks for your freedom. Without the U.S. you'd be speaking Chinese or Russian. Two absolute dumpster countries where you'd get sentenced to a lifetime of labor or death for speaking out against someone.


Some of the most incorrect statements of all time

Itโ€™s amazing how you continually manage to be wrong so often

Anyways, now that Embiid is warmed up and playing well (always takes a few games to get going) can we talk about how STUPID people were to suggest starting AD over him? ๐Ÿ˜‚

He's clearly a great fit playing next to LeBron and Curry anyway. Now he is looking more like Embiid and at that point AD can't hold his jock strap in comparison.


When KD comes back itll be interesting.. But IMO AD is just much more impactful out there and team USA looks better out there everytime AD is playing safety.

Its not a coincidence we put him and AD then only AD out there in clutch time.

This game vs Germany did show Team USA Must have Embidd to win anything in Olympic as a big center, otherwise team is too small cannot guard the paint. AD and Embidd are about the same except who knows if Embidd donโ€™t show up half the time next few games. AD always there competing at the center, but also fragile.

Hopefully both Embidd n AD last the whole Olympics and KD giving them a Boost offensively n defensively b)

Last 2 games have shown why Kerr made it clear Embiid isn't going anywhere. He took a few games to get going, as expected, but looks great now. Hence why he led team USA in pts, reb, and assists vs Germany lol.

AD simply can't replicate what Embiid does on both ends of the floor as a screener, scorer, or playmaker, and he sn't big enough to defend the paint the same way. LeBron is thriving next to Embiid as well.

Embiid, LeBron and Steph have great chemistry with the high screens, dribble hand offs, embiid getting ball high post where he's elite and draws extra attention. When they've been able to involve all 3 in an action it has been some of their best offensive stuff.

Just read the story, (not from your keylogger link) how was he only sentenced for 4 years, holy shit. Raped a 12 year old when he was 29, Netherlands is fucking insane.

Lmfao bro do you see how Ant Edwards literally would be Michael Jordan back in the day. The same athleticism, better 3 point shot tbh. & would be able to get off middies way easier back in the day.
