More lies. 2012 He didn’t carry “multiple teams to gold medals”. Harden road the bench every game and played like 9 mins a game and averaged 5 points per game. 2014 The competition in that tournament was probably the weakest in the last decade. It’s hardly “carrying a team” when they could’ve easily won without Harden. Before you get your panties in a bunch… to be fair they could have won without Irving or Curry or any other player on the roster instead of Harden as well. Fun fact. Harden is younger than Lebron, KD and Curry.
He got dunked on trying to make a defensive play instead of getting out of the way. Respect. Dream got dunked on a few times too trying to do the same thing. I'm glad they care more about winning.
Again.. where are you from that you are such a loser that you complain about USA winning at BASKETBALL?? I guess you not used to winning at anything so only thing you can do is b****. Be real buddy.
the same clowns that were kneeling in the bubble lol.. yea they are so patriotic lol. so much so that they declined a meeting with trump to discuss what policies to implement specifically for the african american community. These act like they are for righteouness and the upwards progress of black americans but the one time a president invites them to the white house they are pressured by "the elite" into not going. Ice Cube and Kanye was the only one with balls to go meet with trump to discuss actual policies for black americans.. Meek Mill wanted to go but was told by Jay-Z not to go now we have a president who did nothing for african americans in the country not just during his current administation but during his entire political career smh. And his vp is known locking up black mothers/fathers and "seperating from their families."
Harden and curry were on that 2014 team. If the competition was so weak why was curry playing like crap while harden was dominating lol. Why was harden named “the captain” of the entire team by coach k lol The competition was so weak but a few years earlier it was “ the world has caught up” after the 2004 and 2006 bronze lol. So just 8 years after the world caught up to the competition, I suppose it just magically got weak again because harden was there fact: harden had a true shooting percentage of 66% for the entire tournament lol. FIBA refs have more integrity than nba refs. There is no such saying of “ playoff fouls are different from regular szn fouls.” lol check this out @Asian Sensation Look at the big man harden had to play with on this team Andre Drummond, mason Plumme and Kenneth faried no embiid level big man and team USA still blew out all the teams by 20 plus points.. certainly not going life and death with “SOUTH SUDAN” Another fun fact steph curry through 9 games on that 2014 team shot 40% from the field lol only player worse was Derrick rose who was at 25%. Harden for that tournament shot about 52% from the field, so how is harden shooting better than curry in FIBA when harden was supposed to be exposed in FIBA lol
Yeah…. you’re right. If only Harden was on this years squad they would’ve had the right system and blown out every team by 40 points at minimum. Since Harden was named team captain and also shot 52% from that tournament…. that totally matches or exceeds everything Curry has ever accomplished. Thus putting Harden over Curry on the all time great list.
Lebron prob old enough to be that dude's dad. People forget Lebron is the oldest player in the NBA. The fact that he's still a top NBA player at his age just shows he's the goat.
MVP is for the whole run not the last game. Lebron did everything during the tournament he defended, passed, scored and even coached. Bron and KD played so well Tatun couldnt even get on the floor and you think Curry got robbed? Your eye test is a joke since you're blind as a bat.
When I watched the 4Q of the Final I sadly had to remember the 2019 series when KD got injured against us in G5. Steph turned into Super Saiyan Mode as he often does in crunch time. His demeanor changes. A bloody smirk appears on his faces. And worse: It seems that he couldn't miss. Obviously, we lost that series because at the same time Harden was suddenly playing hot potatoes with the ball, maybe getting a revelation that he should actually pass instead of ISO-ing. I remember screaming at the screen for Harden to Iso and stepback and whatever instead of getting rid of the ball. This is what Steph does in crunch time, over and over again. The opposite from James Harden, actually. And the FIBA WC 2014 - please. Just look at the rosters of the other teams. The US beat Mexico, Slowenia, Lithuania, and then Srbia in the final. Yes, ever since 2006 it was said that the world is catching up, and the world does. 2008 it was basically Spain and French that could challenge the US. But their quality drops aside from their NBA Stars (like Germany with DIrk). Now, the worlds teams have much deeper rosters, quality wise, it is not only the stars.
BTW., the main difference now is that at close games, it is no longer "The US played bad so they let the opponent have a change". Now, it is a close game because the opponent is good. ANd after the game, there is honest joy of a win instead of merely relief because they were nearly victims of an upset.
