Olympic Basketball

That was very entertaining. Book was fantastic and Durant had an unbelievable first half. I kind of do wish he hadn't played again. They didn't need him in the 2nd half. It was interesting that Book started at the small forward position and Durant was his backup. LeBron had a pretty special game as well. Pretty good team when Jason Tatum and Haliburton can't even get in the game.

I’m behind, but KD!! Can we get Olympic KD for us?

Olympic KD is catch and shoot. Different animal, much more efficient. Doesn't get the ball taken away so much because he's not driving and initiating

Should be able to do this much more now with 2 legitimate PGs on the Suns roster.

I really, reallly hope this gets him away from iso ball

Me too man, last year was incredibly painful to watch. I've never regretted League pass before and I had it during my some lean years lol.

I don't think either one of those guys know how to play in a setting like this, Embiid is a prime example, can't have 3 of those guys playing.

What if, instead, we got.....Ozempic KD?

Maybe this is why we adding Tyus…

SG/SF don't really exist anymore though, it's just switching wings and motion.

Ya I don’t mind playing Book at the 3…our biggest problem though is if we want our top 5 guys on the court, it’s a PG, 3 small wings and a big wing. Book at the 3 is small, but doable, Book at the 4 is not good. Would be great if one of Dunn, Ighodaro, or Bol could surprise.

This Booker guy seems to be a team player.

I sat down to watch some Olympics and started what was supposed to be table tennis doubles but instead it was 3X3 basketball and I was surprised to see Jimmer Fredette out there for the US team. (US vs Serbia)

This Booker guy seems to be a team player.

Still gets more hate on Twitter than anyone I've seen. It's wild.

He got a lot of hate from Suns fans just a few weeks ago too.

I’m sure Tatum sitting helped lol

Embiid to the bench, Booker still starts. Hehehehe.

I didn't know where to put this, but thought of Bobster and some of the OGs here.

Funny stuff, In2. There are always old folks complaining about change.

When I first started watching hoops as a kid in the late 80's, there were a bunch of color commentators who would get upset every time someone dunked. They made it sound like only a really bad person would disrespect the fans and the game by dunking. "2 points is 2 points!"

I found this interesting, about why we don't just send top NBA players for the Olympic 3v3 basketball event.

[In2ition]

The Big 3 competitors should start doing these International sanctioned games. Idk if they would compete well enough, but it's worth a try.

The bit I watched looked like a YMCA game.
