A couple of them boys was looking shaky especially in the hc. AJ’s foul drawing bailed em out.


Side note: He’s talented as hell but Tyran gotta work on his temperament man. Taunting the guys after the game ain’t it…he got into it with Lloyd a few days ago.

Yea Lloyd sat him the whole fourth after Canada had closed the gap and he was just trying to go through defenders. Tbh US looked like they regained their flow with both him and AJ on the bench to start the 4th, then AJ came back in being reckless on defense and forcing it on offense. Him drawing fouls did seal it at the end tho.

Nike holding grudges? How and what does that have to do with selections? :dahell:

Is this some conspiracy theory about JB not being selected? Despite players with Adidas, UA, Puma, New Balance and Skechers playing on the team.

Nike runs team USA essentially. How else do you think a top two consensus recruit doesn’t play in the Hoop Summit? They also did this while trying to get him to switch over to Nike prior to college.

Read that it was due to them skipping some mini camp and stuff like that. Cause there’s adidas players on the team that aren’t as good.

But does anyone even know if he declined due to it being a Nike event? Seeing how he’s declined other events. Never know with top athletes, a lot of them are divas

They’re gonna have to run an actual offense and he can’t worry about making sure some guys are happy.
