Just be like Christian Laettner. Hang out on the sidelines and watch the Olympic hoops games courtside. Not a bad gig
Man he mucked that team up selecting Charles Smith (his own guy) and Bimbo Coles as PGs over Tim Hardaway, Mookie Blaylock, Dana Barros, Rod Strickland, or Steve Kerr.
They had the talent otherwise..
David Robinson
Danny Manning
Mitch Richmond
Hersey Hawkins
Dan Majerle
Stacey Augmon
Holy hell, Bimbo Coles is a name I haven't heard in yeeeeeeears, totally forgot about that dude
Too bad he couldn’t handle Puerto Rico the other day. Pretty embarrassing for him & Lithuania.
Qualified for what?
Edit: I can’t wait to see where you take this. That was meaningless game, huh? Or was it in fact the opposite?
I meant guys that would play for US. Even if he wanted to I don't think he is better than the guys they have. Great player though.
Payton Pritchard was on the US Select Team that scrimmaged with the Olympic Team. Along with Keegan Murray.
I get you’re just trolling, but what you’re attempting to do is just stupid.
Dating back to John Thompson in the 1980s, black coaches have won national championships. The Boston Celtics have also won NBA championships over many eras with black coaches—KC Jones, Doc Rivers, and recently Joe Mazulla. Tyronn Lue was also the only coach that got LeBron a title in Cleveland.
I could go on, but there’s a reason you are cherry picking data to peddle a narrative no one who knows the first thing about basketball would ever think to push.
What are you talking about? John Thompson and Lenny Wilkens were Team USA Olympic MBB head coaches in prior Olympic years.
This is hilarious but this is what DEI should look like. These black men were rightfully selected from a small pool of people based on skills, experience, and merit. It would be a travesty if Tyler Herro or Alex Caruso made the team.
Apologies. I for some reason thought that tournament sent more than four.
You’re right. Lithuania blew it.
I never said black coaches shouldn’t or couldn’t. I’m saying why’s it always whitey leading a bunch of black men on the biggest stage? And to the above I said bronze last time black coach you rube. And I’ve been 100% correct on my statements in this thread call outs aside.

It’s pretty obvious the best white players in the NBA are not American born and thus play for other national teams. Why is this a surprise? 🤔
It’s a surprise to people who don’t watch basketball yet they think they should comment on basketball (@BDE420).
