Was surprised to see he's still playing as it seems like forever ago.
Dude. He was in the same draft as Book.

Don’t love Yuta trying to play through injury. Could lead to some issues.

Yeah, I was gonna say the same thing. I don't like him playing when we need him to be ready for training camp in 5 weeks.

It's not ideal, but I'm fine with it. He's the best player on the team playing in his home country during the World Cup. That's once in a lifetime.

I knew France were in trouble after losing to Canada and watching Latvia play Lebanon.

Overall, yesterday's games were fantastic. Australia vs. Germany was a really well played game and there were three solid upsets by the DR, Latvia and Japan.

This one is making the rounds online and I finally looked at it
Yeah this is weird
Yikes......

I know Hollis Jefferson had some fans here a while back as a player to add but it was as a utility guy
Never have I thought of Kobe watching him play so like what's going on here smh 🤦‍♂️

Was surprised to see he's still playing as it seems like forever ago. So it's clearly obvious he is a Kobe guy, some of the mannerisms and stuff here is.......

How can he be a Kobe guy when it says Jordan right on his jersey?

Yeah like "FF" said
Unlikely Yuta would think about not playing. It's just different representing your country and at Home also.....

This was after RHJ hit 3 free throws on the previous possession to cut the deficit to 2. Now playing OT. Crazy stuff and I love this tournament.

Some wacko(s) in the crowd have been doing this for both USA games so far. Ant had enough of it. :lol:

I couldn't tell, what did he do?

Highly unlikely RHJ gets signed. OK, maybe a random 10-day.

A SF who can't hit 3's. A shame.
