Peter Jok is heading to the 2024 Paris Olympics

Iowa deleted the tweet and replaced it with this so not sure what Luka's status is now
Bosnia and Herzegovina didn't qualify for the play-in tournament that is going on now, so Luka won't be there unless he plans to be a spectator.
Jok’s South Sudan team taking it to USA team. Double digit lead at half, but USA coming back in 3rd quarter.
Jok with 6 min off bench. 1-1 shooting. 3 points.

Jok with 8 points today. Would have been pretty cool if they could have upset them.
Team USA survives, barely beating South Sudan 101-100.
Peter finished with 8 points.
Here's his 3 made buckets for those 8 points:

I have a pretty good recall of Iowa hoops going back to the early 80's. Jok has the most perfect jump shot I have seen in those 40 years. Rise and fire.
My memory has faded over the years but wasn't Pete the #1 player in his class when he was a freshman or sophomore before injuries?
Lebron should not be there imo. let the younger guys have a shot. I have never been a fan of his and think less of him now .
I sorta agree.
Most NBA vets are conditioned not to really go full steam until the last 8-10 minutes of a game.
At least make a rule that no one with 12+ yrs in the NBA and/or with 2 or more medals is on the team.
Try and focus on the younger talent, and maybe even add a college kid or two every now and then. College players like Luka or guys who are great players but probably low odds of making it in the league.
Dad and I watched him drain 27 3s in a row warming up in PTL. Dad said "that's the wettest jumper I've ever seen" Pretty shooter.
Bad defense there at the end. Everyone in the building knew LeBron was going to take the last shot, so South Sudan players needed to be ready to help. No one came over to help defend the drive.
Or you could actually try to develop some rhythm and chemistry as a team before the Olympics. Especially because USA is playing against teams that have been playing together for years.
This isn't about getting anybody a "shot"
Lebron was the reason the USA won.
Well he was still our best player on the floor the other day, so unfortunately you're wrong.
Might have even been before that, like 7th or 8th grade but yes, he was right there.
