These teams won gold medals, Ask Dwayne Wade if it was easy in 2008ask to CP (Chris Paul) Was 2012 an easy year, just ask To Devin Booker Circa 2021. Winning a gold medal at this level is not easy.I think we should rethink the whole debate, but most importantly, we must Stop the FIBA-NBA comparisons. If a player does not perform well in FIBA, he will be exposed in FIBA.this does not mean Brandon Ingram Impossible to be an All-NBA player. “

That was one of the reflections the American shooting guard left on his program in response to criticism of several players who didn’t perform as expected.

“The other thing I want to say is there’s a lot of beating on our kids on Twitter. Coach K (Mike Krzyzewski, former Team USA coach) said at the time, I don’t remember the specific player he was referring to, Some players became Michael Jordan while playing for their national team.do you think Luis Scola, very good NBA player, incredible for Argentina.Evan Fournier, a very good NBA player for several years.The last World Cup and Olympics were all about Michael Jordan with france.

You have the ball in your hands, they call the game for you, and you call the offense. We ask you to sacrifice this. (With Team USA). Now, turn the tables.You’re the backup point guard, you’re the shooter, you’re the guy who’s responsible for catching and shooting, and you’re going to play. pick and roll With Julius Randle. Now, you have entered the national team. We’ll fight every round for you. Who do you think is most interested in their role? Are the boys who improve their roles or those who make them worse?
