USA Basketball is in Trouble Now

United States won gold at the 2024 Olympics but it wasn’t easy. This is a look at how tough their run ended up and who will be on the US going forward when France might finally have what it takes to win it all.

Remember when you said that steph was basically unplayable

[SickPillow]

4 years.... You think you can predict who will be on top in 4 years? 6 days ago you thought Curry was a roleplayer.

This isn't a bad thing, basketball getting better and better worldwide is good for the sport.

[mbavio]

If this guy says USA won’t dominate, then USA will dominate.

[ceufrscio]

It's never good enough. Even when we win it's always bad news. Let's be happy for some time

[frivolousgeek]

I agree about France but don't disrespect Serbia. They have always been, they are and will ALWAYS be an ELITE basketball team. I hope the US will continue sending their best players so we can see again legendary basketball games.

Stop hating for at least a day and appreciate what we just witnessed. Steph, LBJ, and KD got to showcase their greatness because the games were competitive.

[FullContactCoder]

The game is international now, and I'm here for it.

[hmrhuang]

To not have Maxey on the list is criminal!🙄🙄🙄🙄

Team USA will not lose at these tournaments just as long as the best NBA players choose to play. These Olympics games have been close since 2000.

[Too-good]

No way you left Jalen Brunson off the list of being on the 2028 team USA team

[stop-motion]

Scottie Barnes!!! He needs to be on the USA team. He is going to be in his prime in 2028

[donloder]

Steph went from second to last in the points average to up first in just two games.

[cheesun]

Jaylen Brown won’t get snubbed again in 2028

[atraina]

I’ve been saying this but people been telling me to shut up. Our best players that carried us to this win will be gone by 2028.

[Xosumnos]

I wouldn’t be surprised if Steph & KD were in the 2028 Olympics.

[vicchioblack]

The USA will be fine, but the challenge lies in selecting from an incredibly deep pool of talent. European national teams benefit from playing together for longer periods, which fosters stronger chemistry. To address this, Grant Hill needs to ensure that players commit to practices and scrimmages at least a year in advance. This will help them build rapport and adapt to FIBA rules.

[nvm]

The USA basketball team always has a gold or bust expectation which sucks because every time if we don’t get gold then we have to make a revenge team 😅

[NastyKnox]

So we're basically training French players all year to defeat us in the Olympics.

Deaaron fox not making it in 2028 is insane …him and Tyrese maxey would be virtually unguardable
