yeah ok

Also read an article talking about France being poised to take down USA now with Victor Wembanyama

Lets be honest….none are even close to the best the USA has to offer

Stop with the jokes

I agree. But the FIBA rules along with Gobert, Embiid, and Wembanyama will cause problems for everyone. Including us. Bam would shit his pants going up against those guys.

USA just really isn’t as great at basketball as it once was. They play selfish basketball and the other FIBA “teams” are catching right up to them. There’s only one American player left in the top 5 NBA players

Marc Stein mentioned last month that Embiid has firm interest in playing for team USA

It's a wrap if he joins team USA

Even with limited size, the others won't compete against USA best.



Depends who the USA sends, sure....

Didn't he just change over to the French team?

I'd be all for shoehorning him in as a US citizen if he wants to play for us.

I'm pretty sure he is still eligible for France, USA or Cameroon. I only know of Marc Stein's report where he is "firm" towards playing for the USA. I hope

“US” lol

Never knew Embiid was a Tao Tsing

It's Tsing Tao you imbecile.

USA is like an all star team. We have every race and religion. People literally risk their lives just for chance to be American.

Lol USA can produce multiple teams that are better than any other in the world

The issue is they usually only get partial participation and end up sending out nowhere near their best (yet still win).

Lol you guys barely win despite sending teams of all stars every time.

The rest of the world is catching up and it’s not debatable.
