    Durant is incredible.

    Serbia is also really good, but Jokic can't rest if they want to stay in this.

    Easier said than done against the guy who should've won four MVPs in a row.

    Can Wade shut up with the "I know him personally." ?

    Yes, Wade, we are well aware that you know all of the players on the team. Obviously.

    This team is 100% better with AD over Embiid, it's not even close.

    Is Steve Kerr the greatest coach of all time?

    Why would the Rockets be interested in Durant - he's too old and we have Jabari Smith Jr

    Rudy T ;)... Pop... Chuck Daly... Pat Riley.... Larry Brown.... I wouldn't say Kerr is the greatest coach of all time (def top 10... probably top 5)

    Embiid needs a system designed for him because he's not a playmaker and not a great defender. His bbiq is pretty questionable. Durant and Lebron, well, they showed why they are two of the best to ever lace them up. Curry also a bit overrated. Jokic is great but his team was just overwhelmed by the talent differential.

    I don't know if my takeaway from watching Team USA in FIBA style play would be that Steph Curry and Joel Embiid are overrated. I would just say they aren't adjusted to this style and guys like KD and Lebron are more used to it. It was the same with guys like Tim Duncan before. Your whole offense has to change when guys can grab you and play physical all game long.

    I like fiba style, I bet ime does too. The NBA is so terrible because it pampers superstars with favorable calls. Let's the players decide the games.

    Embiid has always been overrated. Big man trying to foul bait all game. Shrinks in playoffs. Not a fan of his and hate the way he plays. A team led by Joel Embiid will never win a ring
