Lets talk about the 2028 US Men’s Olympic Basketball team

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

According to some on here, the US is going to be in trouble because we don't have any young talent

The amount of talent isn't the issue, it's the quality of it.

The fact we needed the old versions of KD, Bron and Steph to come to rescue, should tell you everything. Are you confident that if they didn't go to Paris, Team USA still would've acheived gold? Or would they have been in trouble? KD, Bron and Steph were once upon a time the top-3 players in the league, now all the top spots are dominated by foreigners. A US-born player hasn't won MVP since 2018, and that trend will continue this season, and likely next season too.

Dont sleep on Canada. Shai Gorgeous Alexander and Lugentz Dort will be in their prime by 2028. Also don’t forget Benedict Mathurin.

We need AJ, Darryn and Cam Booz to hit and become stars in the league. Along with Cooper..
