USA Basketball finalizing 2024 Olympic roster

LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry and more headline the roster.

The team is pretty old but should be the gold medal favorites. The host country should be right behind them. Just checked and our old friend Jaylen Hoard is currently on the French national team. There are no NBA players on it and he's the 3rd C, so he probably won't make the Olympic roster.

In coaching news, the Nets are hiring Kings assistant Jordi Fernandez.

Kawhi got the last spot.
 
Pelicans out there embarrassing themselves.
 
everyone but Zion at least. seems like they should just give him the ball every time
 
Yeah. Should have clarified. He's doing well.

By the way, games played this season:

Zion - 70
Wemby - 71
Chet - 82

Glad we don't need to worry about the durability of these young stars.
 
I will never understand -- everybody saw Alvarado limping around and they go to... the opposite side of the floor? attack that man
 
I'm sure Lebron was shaking his head at Trey Murphy nailing that 2-for-1 deep 3 with 33 seconds left.

Lakers News: LeBron James Outlines His Issue With 2-For-1 Shot

On the first episode of the Mind the Game podcast, Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James outlined his issues with the 2-for-1 shot.
lakersnation.com lakersnation.com

“You know one thing that kills me JJ in our league. I’ma tell you what kills me. The 2-for-1 shot at the end of quarters […] I understand why the 2-for-1 is important. Obviously it’s numbers, you get two possessions, the other team gets one possession, in theory it’s a free shot. But what people don’t sometimes account for, the four or five possessions before that.
“Are we on a run? Are we on a heater? Have we gotten a good shot over the last two-and-a-half minutes? What is the other team doing? Are they in a great rhythm? If we haven’t gotten a great shot in two-and-a-half or three minutes and we’ve been turning the ball over, why am I just gonna dribble down and shoot a 40-footer with 33 on the clock. Why not get a great look? Cuz that great look at the end of the third, even if we get one shot, may give us momentum going into the fourth quarter.”

well the Pellies can definitely win this game going into the 4th
 
Business is picking up.
 
it was super ugly til Zion got back in but now they are knocking on the door
 
Zion with 40 points. It's a career high points in a game in which the stats don't count.

you cursed him
 
Weird to see him walk off in anger and in pain, but not visibly limping. Wonder what it could be
 
Zion going down is such a bummer

p crazy no McCollum and no Ingram in crunch time if not for the injury
 
not sure if it’s the production or the crowd but it feels pretty quiet given the moment
 
The crowd seems on edge. They're loud for the game tying buckets. Then their fingernails go back in their mouths.

Can't believe Alvarado just gave up that layup.
 
I'm considering picking a team to follow for the playoffs. Not a front runner situation. Just want to follow some play off basketball.

nba thread. Make your case for a fun follow. Pretty please.
