AD was a monster on defense throughout the Olympics.

[tuckerkline]

He went undefeated. And brought us home the gold. Him relying on Steph, Lebron, Kd, Embiid was $. He did a great job as coach

[abdulaliakbar]

LeBron James and Steph Curry are the scariest duo in NBA.

[raworldwideinc]

At the end of the game, he subbed curry out on defense and back in on offense like 3 times in a row. Kerr did his thing. 👏 👏 👏

[ChristopherSkinner-wmty]

Steve Kerr has nine NBA championships and a gold medal on his resume. Stephen A. talks shit for a living.

[smoothtalkc]

This shows…. No matter how good you do, people will find a reason to criticize. It’s pathetic. To goal is to win it and shut up

[finalyfreeworld]

People forgetting AD’s impact in the final game. He was a monster at the board, blocking, rebounding, he did all that.

[NickTheHokage]

what don't people understand about this not being Tatum's Olympics? this was the old guards storybook ending. his time is 2028.

[sidra_games]

I believe what Steve Kerr was doing was coaching Team USA to a gold medal. Nothing else really matters. It's 12 of the best players in the world and Kerr felt whatever he felt for the rotations. It worked.

[isaacgreen]

You can’t simultaneously give credit to the players Kerr had on the court and then turn around and criticize Kerr for the players he played…that’s asinine logic! Glad you’re not a coach because you’d be horrible at it!

[ChrisJoestarr]

Kerr was doing his fucking job, don't get me wrong I hate the 3 guard line up but media and Celtics fans need to stop acting like Tatum was doing something the guy was sorry all the minutes he played.

[Airtyme]

The NBA is going to miss The King when he's gone. I think we are so used to him performing at the level he does for so long that we take him for granted. This man has been playing at this level from day 1 but you always give the flowers to others. smh. What must a man do.

[sayword]

He was winning gold. See this the problem with sports media. It’s never good enough… if it was the nba finals and he benched a player and won you d be like Steve Kerr is a genius.

[stylesj.]

Bro they won the gold. Thats the point right.

[jonsmooth]

The game against Serbia is a perfect example, his substitutions arguably won them the game Steph went crazy in the 1st quarter and then stalled out until the third when Kerr called a play that was working so well they kept running it until late in the fourth then Steph went off again and clutched up

[KingRyuMC]

Steph Curry didn’t “Win” the MVP.. but these Olympics and this historic team will forever be known for the Steph Curry Shot and the Steph Curry game.. Steph’s legacy won in the long run.

[amielsanders]

Curry played absolutely amazing in the last two games but Bron was putting in WORK since DAY ONE of the tournament. While Curry was struggling the first couple of games, Bron was CONSISTENTLY consistent in his overall contributions. The FIBA MVP is based on the ENTIRETY of tournament play. Not just one or two games. Bron’s consistency, leadership, and overall play is what lead to him receiving that honor. And rightfully so.

1st in RPG (6.8)
1st in APG (8.5)
1st in SPG (1.3)
1st in FG% (66.0)
1st in MPG (24.3)
1st in PER (23.5)
2nd in PPG (14.2)
6th in BPG (0.3)

MINUTES (146)
REBOUNDS (41)
ASSISTS (51)
STEALS (8)
FIELD GOALS MADE (35)

And he was 2nd in POINTS (85)

Guy did EVERYTHING. He earned it. Stop it.🙄😒

[calmacalma]

You cannot have Lebron, KD, and Tatum at the same time. Tatum is a system player and requires to have the ball most of the time for him to excel. Steve Kerr got the job done in his own ways.

[desmondpatterson]

You are dead wrong Steven a smith
The coach job is to put the best players out there, he believes that will win him the game

[victorsullivan]

Tatum was competing for minutes with LeBron, KD, and maybe even Booker. Looking at how he performed in the few minutes he got, it's hard to think he deserved more playing time when those other 3 dudes were putting up consistent numbers.
