    Corrected.

    There are so many Rockets legends at these FIBAs, I counted like 13:

    Germany (2): Theis, Schroder
    Canada (2): Dillon , Kelly O.
    Spain (2): Garuba, Lull (Lull is an honorary Rockets legend)
    Boomers (2): Exum, Mills (honorary)
    Latvia: Rody Kurucs
    Lituania: D-Mo
    Greece: Papa
    Brazil: Bruno
    Angola: Bruno

    ALL of them are going through to the second round. While France with $200M man and ANALytics darling Gobert is going home…

    Dillon Brooks is not a legend yet, although I hope he will be soon. Llull is more of a legend than him.

    Sergio Llull is not a Rockets Legend.

    He is the Rockets Legend.

    These rankings are kind of funny to read. We should've never let Dennis Schroeder go. Dammit! #FireSilas :D

    They give each player 20-30 points for scoring 20+ in 1 game obviously.

    Montenegro is giving the US their biggest challenge so far.

    Should be getting blown out by now but it's a one possession game 2 mins out from half time

    Edit: Now they're hitting bank shots to beat the shot clock buzzer lol

    And now they lose their minds and get Td up. Come on bros be better

    Did not watch, so the D was there I suppose as the score was one of the lowest.
