Does Stephen A have to slide in passive aggressive comments towards Max just to distract people from how much better Max’s analysis is?

[bonez]

KD was easily the MVP of Team USA and the Men’s Basketball Olympics as a whole

[toms]

"Forgot the other guys name" lmao Fournier just signed with the knicks 😂

[esotericguru]

Chemistry matters, most of these Olympic teams been together for years. USA had to adjust to playing with each other. Props to KD and the boys.

[legendr]

I need Big Perks heavy breathing self on the air for his reaction to that KD and Dray Video lol 😂

[buddhashawn]

“Rudy Gobert & that other guy please forgive me” 😭😭😂🤦🏿

[Heart_ken]

This is definitely more impressive than people give it credit. The fit was still clunky compared to the other teams but outside of KD and Draymond everyone one else was a first time Olympian (even Coach Pop). So being able to get the chemistry down was nice to see

[Terror]

This victory has increased Draymond Greens HOF chances

3 rings and 2 Olympic golds

[philo]

Still laughing at the clowns that overreacted when team USA lost a absolutely meaningless pick up game against Nigeria.

[brianchapman]

There was so much more chatter about Team USA Basketball when they were losing.

Now that they've won gold...crickets.

[mascot]

You take KD out of that USA side they losing that semi final against Australia. He brought them back from 15 points down, I don’t think any other player on that side is doing that.

[dapoole]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 when SAS said "not me". Like we just imagine everyone talking down on them

[hueyfreeman]

Stephen A you owe Pop an apology for insinuating he wasn't a good coach without Tim Duncan

[malignm]

I seen a lot of Americans rooting for Luka and Slovenia. I have my own theories on why but imma keep that to myself.

[toveycen]

Without KD they will lose. Never had a US team reply on one star so much.

[domcarrillo]

Steven A's selective amnesia is amazing-- on any point where he was dead wrong! Remember what he said about Popovich being a bad team USA coach?

[ebenezerindi]

KD is the GOAT of USA basketball.
What people don't realize it's that it's harder to shine when you're in a team full of stars and he did that in 2012.
And he carried USA in 2010 FIBA and in this years' olympics.

[jctslice]

kd is a LEGEND in my heart FOREVER for what he did vs france. france took out that MONSTER named LUKA DONCIC the round before, and they were GAME AF all Olympics. kd's performance had to be LEGENDARY to win it, and it was. BEST player in the world right there, NOT lebron. not even CLOSE anymore....

[dapoole]

Kd officially the best player on the planet literally

[holymsophy]

Max Kellerman: I'll take Dame Lillard over Steph.

Also Max: Steph didn't go to the Olympics, so this isn't A team.

Me: 🤯🤯🤯
