I thought Bol Bol was on the South Sudan roster, but I guess he was only on it for training…he’s not on the Olympic squad…wonder if that was his choice.
Re: Olympic Basketball
I just watched the US/Germany game. It was entertaining. Book started but didn't do much. However, he had an incredible sequence with about 6 minutes left. He stripped the ball from Wagner's hands on a drive on one end and then received a pass from Curry on the other where he was fouled while pushed out of bounds on the baseline but he got a 15 footer up with his left hand that went in for the and one.
Here, I found it:

Synchronicity and all that jazz, man.
Re: Olympic Basketball
I'm hoping they just shut him down completely at this point.
Re: Olympic Basketball
Yeah if his body needs the rest, they should just rest him. The team seems to be doing fine already.
Re: Olympic Basketball
They're not shutting him down. He'll play when he's ready.

I guess Durant was ready to play. 8/8 FG, 5/5 3Pt, 21 points at halftime.

I’m behind, but KD!! Can we get Olympic KD for us?
Re: Olympic Basketball
If we can surround him with LeBron James, Steph Curry and Joel Embiid, sure.

KD and Book were incredible today. Book's defense for Team USA is not being recognized enough by the outside.
