Nuggets got to be terrified of Jamal Murray's future.
Wow, Hocker with a shock upset in the 1,500m.

Yep. As soon as we started throwing the ball away when up by 24 had that feeling of doom. And when Kay and Magnay were on the floor together I knew we were ****ed.
On the plus side we can move on from this coaching staff
Why is Embiid getting booed every time he gets the ball?
He got a French passport and could have played for the French team, but chose the U.S. instead.
Watching USA in basketball and how much more athletic they are made me think how crazy it is that USA's best athletes by far are (American) football players. Which means very few of the best athletes from USA go to the Olympics. From a young age unless you're really tall the biggest, strongest, fastest, and most skilled athletes almost always play one sport in the US. Maybe that's why our women's team dominate so much. We're mostly sending our best female athletes.

France is illegitimate. Japan won that game and had it stolen by some seriously home cooked officiating.
Many Olympic sports aren’t available to the masses either. Youth sports are expensive AF. Football is typically available to everyone….but it’s no accident that a position like QB is dominated by affluent kids who go to camps year round.
What? I guess like the extremely niche ones no one really cares about, but Summer Olympics is mostly track and field events which are the most available, which is what I'm sure Ron is referring to. Some NFL WR set the combine 40 time this year. What if he focused on being a track and field athlete? I think that's what Ron is getting at.
France would likely have gone through the the quarter final anyway, and Japan would still be out. Would get different opponents, though.
He told some French rep that he'll play for them but later on decided to play for US. He's 30 already and probably thinking this is his best shot to get an olympic medal and play with the best in the world. Lebron, steph and durant will be 43, 40 and 39 next 2028 olympics.
