🥉🥉🇨🇦🙏
First😎
Funny… I remember people saying they wouldn’t want Brooks on Raptors 😂😂😂😂
AMAZING!!!!!
The Raptors will end up suffering the consequences for this victory. We’re getting screwed even more with bad calls this upcoming season just watch 😂 Americans are petty like that.
Canada got the Bronze 🥉!!! The turning point in Canadian basketball on the global scale! Basketball will soon overtake hockey in Canada in the near future as well! Just imagine how talented Team Canada will be in 2024 with players like Brooks and Barrett most likely coming off of the bench! Also, imagine if Pascal Siakam or Jacob Poeltl receives a naturalized Canadian citizen roster spot? Some really good players will be left off of the 2024 Olympic team roster. Canada has the real opportunity to field an all NBA Olympic team- imagine that!

Why the hell did superfan run and take the MVP trophy from Brooks and kiss it as if he won it 😂😂 I was thinking about the Drake, Kentucky meme “He thinks he’s part of the team” 😂
Not world champion and didn't even get a medal from team USA to bring home for their country 😁
This is reality check for to all American basketball players
Canada getting bronze in the worlds most popular basketball tournament is massive for the teams identity. So proud of the Canadian team
Fans in the Philippines from Booo to MVP chants to Dillon.. it was amazing!
Canada made a mark in International basketball due to the Vince Carter Effect.
After seeing so many American players wanting to go home and play for their home team I'm really hoping some of these guys will want to come home and play for the raptors
congrats to canada👌
but yea
no Curry Durant AD and LeBron makes a difference just to name a few
American NBA fans are losing their minds
If we didnt lose to Germany early we might have not faced serbia till the finals and faced Germany in the semi instead?
When the 3rd began we got a mic'd up huddle and Kerr was entirely focused on Shai. The disrespect. They deserve the L.
The USA is no longer the best at basketball. The NBA should adopt FIBA rules.
What a game!! Now Canada qualifies for the Olympics! 🏅
An incredible, memorable day
I am glad Canada called his best players at the World Championship. It was outstanding performance. Honor of National Canadian team. Bravo.
Canada world champion of north America!
usa think dillion brooks cannot shoots 3s so wrong canadians are more talented than nba studded americans..us team no plays no rebounds and poor shooting equals
loss and go home..
Dillon the Villain Brooks!!!
The difference between Canada and US is this is the golden years for Canadian basketball… Probably as good as it gets.
NBA defense is not ready for FIBA, talents upgrade would not help the defense.
When do we start talking about how Masia and Bobby didn't even sniff at getting this guy or any other Canadians? The only team in Canada and our best Canadian player is Chris Boucher, pathetic.
If this year's Raps team can gel and work together they are definitely a playoff team that can win a series. There are a few guys trying to get big contracts and the depth of the bench is much improved. The ball should flow a little more without Fred dribbling in and out then chucking up a 3! Less Pascal iso and better schemes and with a proper Center and shooting with Dick alone able to give 2plus threes a game! Nowell will be a rotation player, his passing a big boost! 45-37 😊
I hate DBrooks in the NBA but in the FIBA he was very effective. Highly commendable
