Be proud of a bronze medal in basketball? Yall nikkas serious? :what: Sorry but USA players SHOULD be ashamed to finish 3rd.

Proud of a 3rd place finish in a sport where we clearly dominate :smh: yall nikkas gotta be kidding me

You're Telling Me If You're Taking A Picture Of All Your Achievements You'd Leave Out An Olympic Medal?

They Fell Short Of Expectation But Still, Its An Olympic Medal

Look Better Flashing 3 Medals Then 2

I know Americans always have high expectations of their athletes but a medal is a medal and you should be thankful you got there let alone medaled because over 180+ other countries didnt medal

Ask the U.S. football team how small they feel when they see Brazil, Argentina, Italy and all the great football team in the world going at it in the World Cup and Olympics. Football (aka soccer) is the worlds undisputed favorite sport with basketball being a very very very very very very very distant second. Imagine how the U.S. soccer team must feel not being able to bring their team to that party.

THAT is why I say a medal is a medal. Take pride in and love what you have until you get what you want and Love.

How must they feel when their arch rivals already accomplished that feat :dsteezywin:

The US squad that "lost" to the Russians in 72, has never claimed the Silver medals... they straight up refuse to accept them.

I dont blame them for being ashamed of that Bronze in 04... i'd be ashamed of that shyt to knowing the legacy of USA Basketball.

Its funny, a lot of people don't realize that the team wasn't what it was supposed to be because of the star vets of the NBA were scared of security for themselves and family due to 9/11 which happened less than 3 years earlier. I remember Larry Brown pulling players out when they were :cook: He was the worst selection for a younger group of guys. They would have won with coach K, even without the top players at the time not playing.

I understand the pride and legscy of US basketball but still the bronze is what you earned in 04 so take your shyt like man and keep the medal. Keep it as motivation. Keep it as whatever but still keep what is yours.
