Serbia without jokic. Wow.

Kerr makes a good point that the world of basketball has just gotten better. Many of the NBA best players are not from the US and the US is likely never to be the dominant team it once was.

there's significantly more non-american players than before, but no most of the best players are still form the us.

The top 4 MVP candidates are foreign born.

there's no top 4 right now, the season hasn't started lol. do you mean last year or some fantasy ranking? not sure how that's relevant for whether the best players are still from the us, when you're talking about the same 3 people, but yeah, they also won MVP the last 5 years too.

I feel bad for the Canadians cause everyone is acting like the Bronze match is a loss when we haven't even qualified for the semis before.

The US is going to be trying to save face in this game so I really hope they win but still get the credit they deserve if they don't cause beating Spain was a huge deal already.

the us wasn't in either of final games the last time this was held lmao. congrats to noah lyles for getting people to pay attention to this though!
