The title has no content. The US team didn't need any particilar player to still easily win. Even if A'ja, who is the very best, was injured and needed to be replaced by someone else, the team would easily win. The level of talent is so high and deep, it wouldn't matter.

Candice Buckner… 😂
it is a loaded roster… they never said “they need her”! They said that she should have been on the team. The “best” most “deserving” give me a break! Taurasi “deserves” to be on the team, but she’s not even close to the list of “best” anymore! Comparing the NBA to WNBA in terms of “worldwide talent” the Olympics is HUGE for “growing” the game! NBA talent is worldwide now!! WNBA will be as well down the line… and it starts with the Olympics! These two have such poor takes on things!

White woman to save them?? Ohh geez… you guys … such a waste of time! It’s her logo threes and her passing - not her color! Candice even said it - she made it fun! Stop the race BS!
