Jeff Teague DEBATES: Is USA Basketball in TROUBLE at Olympics vs. Jokic, SGA, Giannis, Wembanyama?

Jefferson was talking about um the 2028 Olympics in LA. He said it’s looking real spooky for the US. Squitty, he said, you know what I’m saying? They struggle with the teams last year and look who we had on the team. Do y’all agree with that take? Uh it depends who’s going to play. Is KD playing in 2028? I wouldn’t expect him to. I’m sure that he probably can and could if he want to, but I ain’t expecting him to play. It’s spooky then. He’ll be 40, bro. USA ain’t never going to lose, bro. Man, all the quality players you were saying they were going to lose. No, we going to win for the rest of this time, bro. Best Our best players is leaving. They keep getting better though. We going to get We getting better, too. The best players in the league are all from different countries. Yeah. Oh, by the time uh Look, never mind. They ain’t going to play. But Tatum and them is enough, bro. They not. Tatum ain’t going to play USA no more. You don’t think so? Why wouldn’t after that last after squad? He’ll play again. [ __ ] not going to Paris for 100 days. Yeah, bro. Even though it’s here in LA Edwards and them is enough, bro. You got Kade, Trey Young, John Mor. That’s enough. Play with Dr. Oh, yeah. I forgot. Damn. Anthony Davis, he’ll play. They have enough. Anthony Davis. Anthony Davis ain’t playing. He might play. D. They going to ask them, bro. Steph Curry, they thought he was never going to play. He played. Boys is going to play. It’s USA. KD playing in the Olympics at 42 is crazy. Y’all tripping, bro. Jaylen Brown. Jaylen Williams. Just saying. The overseas talent getting better every day. Yeah. Plus the [ __ ] overseas getting older, too. Like Jokic, he getting older. Giannis getting older. But them French boys, they do got Wimi. They be having one or two people, bro. We be having a They all players, bro. Oh, they got Wimby tripping. They ain’t smoking people like they used to do. And they barely beat them last year, though. They NBA players, too. But we going to win. That’s the basis of this conversation. He was just like, “Man, look what we had to put together to, you know what I’m saying, to scrape past some of the younger talents over there.” It always been this way. Get the best players. We’re gonna put together the best team. We gonna win, bro. I mean, they did. Kobe and them did struggle with Spain. They still won. No, I’m saying like be good games, bro. The other teams ain’t sad. We going to win. I I I’m a little nervous though. When be a different one be different. That group different. Who else going to be winning? They got a lot of young They team was all right last year. They got young Zachariah from the Hawks. He gonna be cold in three years. That’s 2028, bro. You said that’s what they banking on. Major women let them in every statistical [ __ ] Hey, different like that though. Nick Baton still going to play. Nah. No. Hell no. We going to be done. Evo, they got going to be done. Nah, they got me up. That’s their guard. Wimby Zack, huh? They gonna have Zack. Yeah, Z could be on the squad. Yeah, bro. They not that good, bro. When you got Wimby though, we got 10 now. Toronto going to be hard still players, bro. Canada. Yeah. Yeah. Going to bring Paulo. Paulo gonna play most dollars in here with him and Chad. They’ll probably be some Thompson twins playing for Jamaica. Yeah. It now we gonna lose to Jamaica. No, I say I was I’m saying people that could potentially have played on the USA team. Tom, they just need to play with us, bro. Yeah, [ __ ] it. Don’t get hurt in Jamaica, bro. Come rock with us. Wasting your time, bro. I think you still win. Uh, only person that was scared me was Wimby. Yeah, I mean, yeah, he cold, but he’s one person going against 12 NBA players, but them rules is different. Like that one person can change everything. Yeah, he can stay in the paint. Yeah. Like he he one person that could change everything. True. Like one thing we don’t really got is a bunch of snipers. Like as a young guys, we don’t got a bunch of snipers. Yeah. Like Steph had to go hero last year. He did. Yeah, he definitely did. Yeah. I think it definitely be competitive. I think USA can put together a team that could win for sure. But I don’t think it’s going to be sweet either. I mean, we still got some young boys. They got Cooper flag coming. Boozers. They little boozer going to be there. They going to be all right. But we banking on them, bro. W be the same age, bro. I’m saying Wim be the same age as them. That is true. Wimpy is cold, bro. I’m just saying it’s just him, though. He can’t. He ain’t like his 10 Wimies, bro. It’s going to be hard for him to beat 12 NBA players by itself in that setting. 12 elite NBA players. We always think honestly that we going to go over there and blow everybody out by 30. We ain’t got to blow them out. And them settings though, like some of them players that’s playing overseas, they be cool in them settings. Yeah, they game sliders go up. Yeah, they be cool in them. That’s the only thing. They be cool. See Patty Bill [ __ ] ever. Us blowing them out them days is over with. It’s going to be good games, bro. Yeah, that’s what I’m saying. Wim got enough skill and enough star power. We not losing to Canada that I mean Shay I don’t Shay play NBA too much. So trying to get them fouls and [ __ ] They wasn’t calling him. Yeah, he play he played NBA. Okay. Who though? But they do got Shane Sharp in them though. Benedict Mat, they got some young talent squad, bro. They got the guard. They guard heavy in Canada. They got my boy Nim hard. Give me our guard. They got them hard. Dude got some young talent. Ain’t weak? They not, bro. Couple things. They guard heavy. They guard heavy, bro. Ben Math. Give me Give me Anthony Edwards, bro. Mine, bro. Give me Anthony Edwards, bro. Anthony Edwards if individually. Yeah. That’s not even a Yeah. I mean, individually, yeah, but John, these dudes be practicing together for years. USA has lost to They’ve been doing this their whole life practic. Think Think about when I them and LeBron and all them, they had that team in the US championships. They got Who [ __ ] thought, [ __ ] that they had a chance of They got blown. They was getting smacked. They had Timmy. LeBron and them was on the bench. That’s why I said they wasn’t But they had Timmy. No, they had they had Timmy. They had Alan Iverson Dway and Melo on the bench. They had Stefon Marberry, Alan Iverson, Tim Dunber. I don’t care. Nah, bro. Go to that championship. They had the real polish on four Olympic. You should have put Brian in, bro. They would have won. Larry was on that and D Wayade, bro. They was better than Stefon Marberry already, bro. Yes, they was. All right, bro. It was a time when Brown was better than Stefon Mar. Yes. Yes. Brown rookie year. He was not better than Stefon Marberry. Done, bro. Yo, you wild 2003. Brian was better than him from day one. He was better than him in high school, bro. You talk to him. Stefon Marberry, bro. 28. Never better than Braun, bro. They had Meer, Sean Marian, Richard Jefferson. [ __ ] Hey, shout out to my boy Carlos Boozer, bro. He’s on Kings Court. One of my favorite shows out right now, bro. Wilding. I’m just saying that team them team lost right there. Yeah. You never thought Tim Duncan would be on the losing side up or something like that. I give you Tim Duncan. Yeah. All right. So this right here, who was the best five we could have put on the court? They all was rookies. Melo, Dwayne, Omar Style. [ __ ] this is a 2003 averaging 40 points in one game. He ain’t This is his type of [ __ ] though. I need to be on That’s Anthony Edwards and him. That’s John. Bro, you would never thought this team even thought about losing. I’m just saying that’s John Mor. We a seen do it yet. I don’t know. I don’t know. But we never would have said Alan was a guaranteed swarm. I was starting regardless. Yeah, I mean I get it. But if you really look, this is one of the weaker teams, but they play. That’s how that team going to be looking. No, exactly. But this was more about practice on the coach. They talked about that a lot today. Bro, I agree with Jeff. That team is going is going to have a couple people to be like, I don’t know. Mhm. on that 2028 team. They they stars in the NBA, but you going to be like like Shawn Marion was a star. Yeah. I mean, it’s always people like Shawn Mary on the team though. Yeah. Dollars. You need them players. I’m not That’s what I’m saying. But Steph at that time, Stefon Marberry, Alan Iverson, Tim Duncan, them [ __ ] was at the top of the NBA. They was. This is 2003 move. I was the coach. These is premier all stars, bro. They was, bro. I’m not saying they not. 22 years ago. I’m not saying they wasn’t cold, bro. We know they was cold, but they was that guy. You saying D Way was better than Stefon? No, he wasn’t. Yes, he was, bro. Not at that time. What is wrong with you? Nothing. I’m speaking facts. I can rock with you on LeBron. I can’t go to Dwayne. Not at that time, bro. Oh, Dway won a chip like next year. Go to Can you go to three years? Can he pull up his stats that year? Oh, 04. Marberry won like the next year, bro. Like a year he won like the Allar like he brine back in the Allar [ __ ] Melo should have been Iverson. Melo they should have been they didn’t have no minutes for these [ __ ] bro. Oh they had minutes but I’m just utilize them for sure.
