- Team USA has crashed out of the 2023 FIBA World Cup and for the 2nd time in as many tournaments, Team USA will go without a medal. In the wake of the USA's defeat to Canada reports surfaced that several prominent NBA stars such as LeBron James, Stephen Curry, and Kevin Durant were considering joining Team USA for the 2024 Olympics in Paris. Has the world truly caught up to the USA in basketball, or is this just the start of Team USA's Revenge Tour?

I don't why but your 2 voices were made for each other. Narration just flows SO WELL
Prolly cuz their brothers
They are married bro. Didn't you know?
It's embarrassing how niggas lost as fiba and the excuse is "wait till the Olympics" 💀. Fiba is the bigger tournament and taken more seriously worldwide but the bubbleboy Americans is confused into thinking the Olympics is the bigger tournament smh
@@jigglyjellyjaspy2728i didn't know they were brothers I just thought real good friends
"Losing to Canada is fine, but Dillan Brooks dropping 40 on the USA is the worst defeat since Vietnam"
BROOOOOOO too soon!!! 😂😂😂
Not to be a boomer but I think this is going to help players take more pride in international competition than they take pride in getting their bag.
That’s never going to happen. It’s a whole new generation. That new generation is surrounded by greed and money chasing so.. there’s absolutely no way they’re going to put aside money to focus on completely representing their home country.
Lol they do this every time. Big stars don't want play until they see the B team Lose. Join for the Olympics. Then stop playing again 😂
That is 100% the biggest issue. I’m European and I know for a fact that players here love playing for the national teams and feel pride in representing their country. American players just seem entitled and not actually proud of representing their country. The notion of “ oh we don’t need to send our best players to win “ isn’t something that happens in European sports. You always send your best, and you damn sure don’t have your best players not wanting to play for the national team. If anything, it’s the opposite where you have to push washed players out of the national team because they still want to play but just aren’t good enough anymore.
@@joaobrito2653 Well tell your professional guys to play 82-110 games a year in the NBA & still spend every single offseason competing in FIBA competition..
@@carlgilmore-murry5789 who talked only about basketball? Football schedule is brutal and yet there is never even a question when it comes to players wanting to play for their country. It’s a matter of pride and culture. Why does Lebron and all the best players want to play now? Because their pride is hurt from seeing the USA lose
Lebron saw Dillon Brooks drop 40 and decided he had enough 💀
The Lebron Documentary is gonna be legendary.
I'm convinced that Noah Lyles saying "World Champions? Of what? The United States?" was a strategic maneuver on his end to essentially secure at the very least a podium finish for the USA Basketball team at the Olympics. He knew that since the USA wasn't gonna bring their best at the FIBA World Cup that the USA team probably wasn't gonna medal at that tournament. By saying this, all the actual NBA superstars paid attention and got all up in their feelings when USA didn't medal. (and letting Dillon Brooks of all people drop a 40 piece for canada to get the bronze for Canada probably didn't help either). So, instead of potentially coming to the Paris 2024 olympics with a few pieces from this team and maybe a few superstars, Lebron is assembling the damn NBAvengers. Lebron, Durant and Curry as a starting trio is fucking SCARY.
We’ve won the last how many Olympics?
@@ilngsisfhevery one since 1992 except 2004
@@mr.s845 can't be. people are saying american basketball doesn't have fundamentals. it's impossible for them to win multiple gold medals in a worldwide event.
@@fluffymyato3334 but they have, they've one a gold medal at every Olympics basketball event every Olympics since 1992 except 2004 were they won bronze
@@fluffymyato3334they do have fundamentals, they just don’t teach defense, or how to share a ball. The international teams are taught how to operate as team, the USA teams are taught how to play individually. I don’t necessarily agree with the whole lacking fundamentals, the American players not being talented, and not being good arguments. but hey at the end of the day it’s just a whole bunch of nobodies arguing and joking across the internet, that have no actual knowledge of basketball and are happy they finally beat the US at basketball. So I just roll my eyes and scroll.
With that being said the 2020 Olympics was a rocky start for them and it goes to show that the other leagues are elevating their players with their old school rules and coaching, while the NBA isn’t really developing their new guys properly with all the new school rules and coaching.
Also 4th truly isn’t terrible considering, their entire team was carried and led by a 20 yr old rookie. But also the NBA should truly use this as a wake up call to start taking basketball seriously again.
Plus I hate that the innocent USA team, that didn’t even even say anything are getting dragged into the middle of this. When they truly weren’t bad, the Americans are wrong for degrading their own players and the foreigners are wrong for their insensitive comments.
At the end of the day, It’s natural to win and lose at a sport, even if you’re the best, it’s part of the game.
People are only going so hard because it’s the US that lost. I can guarantee you even if they got bronze, they would still be clowned. The very praises that Canada are getting for bronze would not be the same if the USA got bronze. And Noah Lyles clearly just said shit to stir this up. So yeah fuck him.
this is their third revenge tour already
There's no way y'all watched the world cup if you mentioned Jaren Jackson Jr as a positive. He had the most important role on the team & it was quite literally hard to watch. When he wasn't in foul trouble, which was rare, he was a liability
"as americans we feel like we"re entitled to certain things". Only "certain" things ? 😁
Oil
I have to defend my boy Walker Kessler for a second. He is definitely a dominant big, getting 4th for blocked shots and wasn’t even starting for the first third or fourth of the season. Coach Kerr didn’t have him play hardly at all and when he did, he was having him play on the perimeter a ton. I don’t think Coach Kerr is a bad coach I just think that the warriors system works fantastic for the warriors but is not viable for any other team. As evident in team USA’s defeats. Get a coach they knows how to utilize Kessler (like Coach Hardy at the jazz) and you’ll see how amazing Kessler can be. Okay, jazz rant over. Love y’all’s videos, keep ‘em coming.
Maybe he could have played Kessler at the 5 and JJJ at 4, were he's more comfortable.
To me the biggest issue that superstars don’t really care about representing the US in international competition. I think it was Jimmy Butler that said something like “nobody cares about the World Cup” in any other sport representing the US is considered an honor, to any other country representing the national team at weather that be FIBA, AmeriCup or the Olympics is considered an honor. To most NBA superstars is just a way to feel like a paid vacation where they don’t really have to try cause they feel entitled to the gold and in my opinion that’s where the real problem lies.
IMO these guys could do it
Guards: Steph, Booker, Kyrie, Holiday
Forwards: Lebron, Tatum, KD, Butler, Bridges
Centre: AD, Bam, JJJ
They’re gonna come out like Captain America and the Avengers
As a Canadian idk how y’all let brooks drop 40 lol
Dude can ball, just bc he’s annoying doesn’t mean he’s a trash player
Just discovered your videos randomly, and can't stop watching them, I like those funny parts in serious topics. Good Job really
EARLY TO A SYNTHETIC SPORTS VIDEO❤❤ DO A 2016 SEASON RETROSPECTIVE
why does this coment have no likes let me fix it
You guys have some of the best NBA content. A great mix of loose structure and nuanced knowledge
Bro y’all are so underrated, this channel deserves a million subs easy, keep it up💪🏿
I'm not exactly a blue blooded patriot but I need team USA to do unholy things to international competition in the Olympics
Well stated
Lebron doing this for his documentary is awesome media man. GOAT STUFF
KILLIAN HAYES will lead France to a gold medal‼️
Nah, but Wemby, Coulibaly and Gobert will, it will be extremely hard to score on that defense, and Wemby+Evan Fournier+Decolo is enough to be great in offense they can shoot, they can slash, they are are smart and can pass, they can also play with Wemby at thz 5 and Batum at the 4 for better spacing
I’m here from the future lol Embiid Has committed!!!!
I think it's going to be important as well to get these guys to play well together, not just having the fatest roster
Imagine after all this hype they somehow lose in the Olympics??
and it is posible. you need 1 or 2 players to get hot from 3. and what can you do? they are raining 3.
it is not likely but stil posible.
5:07 Ive seen this meme hundreds of times and never realized that was Jason Mamoa until now. 😂
To stop Embid, get Al Horford
Don't want to be that guy but, the USA team wasn't full of stars, there were some good players with potential to be stars. They had like 3 all stars and not exactly perennial all stars
That's still way more than any other team beside, maybe, Canada
@@Herzeder what I meant is that if you paly a iso heavy style with that team you are not going far in a world cup
@@drpandemonio5459 so maybe they shouldn't have played iso heavy basketball..... I swear, everybody praises Ker as if he's a hugely impressive coach, but the moment he didn't have Curry out there, he did nothing.
They had the top stars of quite a few teams, bad teams but teams none the less. Knicks, Wolves, Pacers, Magic, Pels and Nets all had their best guys there.
Some of the highest quality basketball videos you'll see on this site
If their starting lineup is that embiid lineup there is nobody scoring above seventy against them
1 year later: Jokic records his 3rd triple double of the tournament as USA crash out of the Olympics
Majority of team USA’s losses comes from the players not trying at all
You know when the US has guys like Jaren Jackson and Tyrese Haliburton playing big minutes, we aren't taking a tournament super seriously
You really got the Avengers Endgame music in the background😭😭😭😂😂😂
USA avengers version
PG: Curry, CP3, Holiday
SG: DBook, Harden, Smart
SF: Bron, Tatum
PF: KD, Draymond
C: AD, Bam, Jarett Allen
*defensive/offensive/small ball/3 point/big line up
you have everything
Can I intern for yll 🎉😂😂. You guys are better than ESPN
5 people team usa should severely consider for their frontcourt is Evan Mobley, JJJ, AD, Bam and Jarett Allen. With those guys and the obvious locks such as Bron, Curry, Tatum, Dame etc. Team usa will be unbeatable.
only AD and Bam, USA coaches loves small ball and a versatile bigman
@@theyrehere.3468 but we need to learn why we finished 4th in the FIBA. Lack of rebounding and lack of an inside presence on both sides of the court. If we make the same mistake in the World Cup we may not even finish with bronze as we’ll possibly be facing Embiid (maybe), Jokic, Giannis, and just other teams who play big and scrappy inside.
@@froge7986 AD and Bam isn't JJJ lol 😂
@@theyrehere.3468 still having multiple bigs would help. I’d say atleast 3 of them to allow us some flexibility in out lineup
@@froge7986 Thats why I think a healthy AD is the best fit. He's versatile enough to play both a classic 4 and 5, and he is a monster on the boards and defensively, which is exactly what we needed this past world cup.
I gotta agree with Agent Zero: These players are NOT stars. The only one you can consider a star is Ant Man and maaaaaybe Brunson. This ain't even the B-Team. It's the D-Team.
what theme music was in the outro it sounds familiar
Make the all star game US vs the world.
If I got embarrassed by Dillon Brooks dropping 40 on me, I wouldn’t show my face around for months.
I think the biggest question is who is going to coach?
Americans always seem so patriotic , I never understand why the top players don't want to represent the USA in the world cup, for most atheletes around the world in any sports it's like an honour ...
I can hear the helicopters and Fortune Son playing already as team USA drops onto the court.
Finally some Americans that aren’t delusional. Saw so many people saying “ oh we sent our C team” meanwhile Serbia reaches the final without jokic and Germany only has 3 nba players. Schroder wouldn’t even be starting for team USA, yet people still think that they weren’t supposed to win the tournament because they didn’t send Lebron and kd. The biggest issue with team USA is that there doesn’t seem to be a cultural pride when it comes to playing for the national team. In European countries you start playing with the national team in your early teens and it’s something that people take tremendous pride in. It seems like American players just have an enormous sense of entitlement
You try and get good 3&D to compliment the stars that aren't gonna play defense like Lebron, KD and Steph. Embiid (or AD if Embiid wont play for USA), Lebron, Mikal, KCP, Curry. Then a bench with strong wings like OG and McDaniels to play with Dame, KD and Bam.
Surprised they didn't grab Caruso for the World Cup so they'd have someone playing defense.
Embiid Wemby and Gobert in Olympic basketball is kinda scary
The fact that Stephen Curry hasn't played in the Olympics is shocking to me, because I'm pretty sure that Klay Thompson did once.
He played for 2 word championships
Think the reason why the FIBA loss hits hard this time around is because of Noah Lyles. His comments definitely triggered some people and with people using his words when talking about Team USA getting 4th, it got people ready to send the Avengers for the Olympics.
Avengers are old and injured, there is no avengers, no center, no pf, usa too small, you should be lucky if 1 or 2 players from "avengers" is playing. Americans are so ridiculous, this isn't a movie, by the way best players are Europeans
With Joel Embiid deciding to play for team USA we better not lose in the second round of the Olympics 💀
Going to sit back and enjoy having the BEST TEAM IN NORTH AMERICA...at least until next summer
Go Canada, greetings from Germany!👍💯
As A German I won't be scared by your grandpa and street clothes "dream team".
Dude Mitchell Robinson in FIBA basketball
According to the new NBA Rule when it comes to resting players, Team USA didn't have many "Stars" lol. But yes the world has caught up to us in basketball but we're still ahead of everyone when it comes to having the best players. The only thing is the best of the best for the US only compete internationally for the Olympics. So no need to read much in to the World Cup 4th place finish. The 2004 Olympics when the US won bronze although many of those players were good (And would become all time greats) the top tier stars at the time chose not to compete since there was still some fear after the 9/11 attacks. Every country puts their best of the best out in all international competition and the US only does that for the Olympics. See everyone in Paris in 2024
Stop saying Jaren Jackson Jr., look at his performance in FIBA World Cup lol
C - AD
F - Bron
F - KD
G - Book
G - Steph
2nd Unit
C - Adebayo/Holmgren
F - Tatum/Banchero
F - George
G - Edwards
G - Lillard
Assuming they don't get embiid, my choice for bigs would be AD, Bam and Myles turner.
Myles can spread the floor while also being just a solid big man and defending the rim, and he could fit with bam or AD in one lineup if they need a big lineup.
My choice would be something like Steph, jrue, book, Mikal, JT, KD, LeBron, draymond, Bam, AD, Turner.
With how fragile AD is, I'm not so sure about how realistic his participation is.
I feel like america would get better results if they switched their mindset to FIBA > Olympics, like the rest of the world
How yall not talk about the coaching staff...?
Maaaaybe just maybe.. it's the coaches
Jimmy Butler better be on this team
Dillon Brooks NBA slayer
Why does it take urgency for us Americas to create a great team to beat everyone
This team might need Al horford to deal with embid
3:17 LeBron was also on the team that took the bronze, so the only significant addition there was Kobe. Remember that the team lost Iverson and Tim Duncan.
Him, melo, and Wade barely played though
@@MrTimLee84and they're still teens that time 😂 they're rookie
Brooks broke LeBron without even playing him 😂
I wasnt interested in american exceptionalism before. I am not interested in it now.
I'm not being a party of this arrogance that being defeated as a call to arms.
As long as steve kerr isn't the head coach we should be good
I'm just an NBA fan. And NBA players are talking now. I'll believe it when they start walking.
Frankly. I think they should sit it out. Stop being insecure over losing.
When another Pg injury goes down. Everyone will snap back to normal.
Myles Turner can play 5
Based on the available talent, there is no question at the US should have one every single international competition in history
What separates the US and other countries is the fact that the US has very little roster continuity, and overall I think we play down to the competition in terms of team basketball. These US guys get together with a brand new roster every couple years, practice for three weeks, and then expect to go compete against other teams with multiple years of chemistry that simply just play harder than the US. It sure looks like Serbia or Germany cares more when you watch the games.
Well said. Coach K had the right idea when he was put in charge. He kept the same core guys, brought certain really big stars and surrounded them with some quality specialist role players. The USA might have been able to just patch a team of random players together and win in the past, but not anymore. Even if they manage to bring the 'Avengers', it's not done and dusted. If Serbia for example is at full strength they'll have a really good shot at beating anyone the US brings.
Jimmy butler has earned the right to play for gold
Joel Embiid choosing to join team USA when he could join France would be like giving an older brother a handgun when he was fighting with his baby brother, he’s one of the biggest foreign names in basketball idk why he would ever choose the U.S.
He is more American than French tho. He never lived in France, probably never even visited France before asking for the French nationality.
The French basketball federation doesnt even really want him to play for them because it seem unfair to give a spot on the team to someone who's not really French, it's not like Embiid is not joining the team by is own decision.
You said the best centers in the world and most of the guys listed were ass like KAT and Rudy lol
the problem is that these guys are too buddy buddy in the nba! the hunger is gone!
Team USA did B.I dirty. They're gonna ruin his season this year
Doesn’t matter if you win by a inch or mile wining winning
It's one thing to win or lose by 4 and another to win or lose by 20. If you lose by 20, you are either uncompetitive, or you should be ashamed of yourself because you performed terribly. If you lose by 4, you still lost, but you didn't get steamrolled.
Coach Knight, Daly, Wilkins, & K wouldn't have allowed USA to embarrass themselves like this. So tired of overrated Kerr being mentioned in the same breath as these actual great coaches.
"you know the thing that hurts me the most, is that I have to watch the NBA finals and they have world champion on they head. world champion of what? the United states, don't get me wrong, I love the US at times but that ain't the world. that is not the world. we are not the world. we have almost every country fighting, thriving, putting on they flag to show that they are represented. They ain't no flags in the nba" - Noah lyles. lololololololol
You know its really urgent & bad when US is know adding a naturalized player
Idk why people don't understand that we dont care about FIBA like we do with the Olympics lol losing THAT is major. Getting bronze in 2004 changed everything. Like you mentioned, we've done worse in FIBA but no one cares here 😂
We lost to Canda and dillion brooks gave us 40, that's as bad as it gets😂
More people are caring nowadays, as evident by people piling on AR for being dominated in the post and Kerr’s coaching decision.
Exactly. This is going to keep happening. No one here cares about fiba.
It sounds like the argument of a 9th grader who says that his bad grades in math doesn't matter because he doesn't really like it.
But theres also more of narrative (and somewhat of a truth) that many of the top nba players itself are international. Even if the world is catching up US gotta still show its on top this upcoming Olympics and dominate. Not like 2020 when it was a close victory.
I would love to see Melo come back n run the Olympics w Bron
as a foreign fan of the channel, I'd love nothing more than to see my country being destroyed if that gets us the chance to see steph, lebron and kd play together once before they retire
and i feel like every basketball fan in the world probably agrees with me on this one We'll suffer, but with a smile on our faces
most will totally not agree whit you and woud prefer to beat the USA and win medals for themselves.
If they can win in the face of Le Bron and Steph it will be even better.
@@stefankatsarov5806 yea well it would, i was just trying to be realistic lol
also my country probably doesn't stand a chance to medal even if team usa brings the c team, so at least if they bring the big guns we'll have something legendary to see
Wait... KAT is Dominican?
Love Kerr but get that man away from our National Team
Their defense and offence were disorganized and not suited for International basketball
3:24 5:07 5:50 8:03 8:48
Old man LBJ and glass man AD won’t metal.
Lebron Is bringing The Justice League And The Avengers Together.💯
I do not even know what revenge has to do with all of that.
Revenge is when someone else commits something horrible to you.
So is it like "oh how dare all the other countries even try to beat Team USA and actually not just try but make it reality"?
What exactly is the revenge for?
America is weird...
And if anything it is the US own fault being ignorant towards the rest of world and not taking the competition seriously.
Send your "Revengers" and we'll see how this works out.
The biggest problem the USA has is a lack of respect for other basketball nations. The MVP of the Germany knockout game wasn't even an NBA player and je made Haliburton look like an amateur.
Jokič ain't playing on the Olympics
USA 🦅🦅🦅🦅
Levenge tour
Nah they're bringing an everyone and I mean everyone you're going to see people coming out of retirement just for the red white and blue! 🇺🇸
Hardly bro, too old and too injured
I thought Kyrie was Australian?
Left Melbourne at age 2 so...........yes but actually no?
Send them. Spain, Germany, Serbia or France will crush them. No shining, Gold maybe and only if they work hard and a lot of them do the dirty work. Who should do this for them? LeBum?
Healthy AD > Embiid
How fun would it be if they brought everybody and still lost.....
LeBron for bronze 🤞
America is way to arrogant and this lose was a good thing to show that there not on top as they were anymore when it comes to the sport of basketball
Guys don’t worry you just need to came up with another idea for a sport that no one cares about and no one plays. Like American football or baseball.
Baseball is really big in many other places. Japan and Central America especially.
saying nobody outside of America cares about baseball is fucking wild
I was joking. I know baseball is big in Japan (pun intended) and Central America.
It’s just funny how US national team literally feels like it is entitled to win no matter what.
@@kaohs2133 Central America and Japan are like less than 10% of the world.
By any global definition its a sport that no one cares about.
@@RubyWavesIs it tho, most of the contries outside of the USA have almost 0 interest in the sport and dont play it at all domestically.
Central america which is a few poor countries and Japan is too litle to deep it a global sport and by any metric it is a sport that no one really cares about.
