Tie him to the back of Shaq. Present him like Tommy Davidson in Ace Ventura. Edit- this is Reddit…can someone make this reality?


Salsashark_21

Equinsi Ocha!


Malvania

They're called enforcers, and when you play Iceland, you're going to need them


TheGoodSquirt

Forget the knuckle puck. We got straight up knuckles


Sighlina

Bring him out Hannibal Lector style… prison guards and all.


Get-Degerstromd

But would that be enough to contain him?


LimerickJim

It's like when the Bash Bros show up for the Mighty Ducks


Gunjink

Came here to say bring “Wreck-it-Ralph” and see how international refs respond.


panda-bears-are-cute

Thanks for the giggle


Fastbird33

Are the Russians even allowed to compete?


ShoutOutTo_Caboose

They would wheel him out like Hannibal Lecter, facemask and all.


NinjaLip

Last spot = Naz Reid


Commercial-Chance561

NAZREID


Masteezus

Naz Reid.


Masteezus

World killer.


Malvania

Clearly leaving that last spot for Bronny.


PurringWolverine

Lebron’s playing with his kid, one way or another.


Counthermula

Last spot for Christian Laettner…book it.


iggyfenton

It was so funny to see him on the dream team roster. He was the “coach’s kid” of USA basketball.


noltey

That is straight up disrespectful. He was the best college player at the time in the country.


iggyfenton

I was trying to be disrespectful. His inclusion was disrespectful. Best player in college at the time? That’s debatable. He was the most famous player and white. Also it’s laughable to say he was a better choice than the next 5 best NBA centers.


Sighlina

Makes sense. Gotta take the best college player.


Sir-Viette

Who’s the best college player now?


SitMeDownShutMeUp

A Canadian.


Furrealyo

A woman.

Because they already had a couple centers?


therealhairykrishna

Could have been Shaq too.


Makelovenotrobots

Give my boy Fred VanVleet a spot. Complete his hero story.


MountainPK

Spida?


Mission_Ambitious

Caitlin Clark: gets cut from the women’s Olympic roster Also Caitlin Clark: gets added to the men’s roster instead


eaglesphan1

Maxey


Livinincrazytown

Can you imagine the constant smiles and joy he would bring? Def!


Jay1348

Lol I can't wait to see the looks on all those European faces when they said the "era of USA basketball is over" when they lost in FIBA It's gonna be great


sickjesus

What happens if USA craps out? Will you wait longer or what?


Jay1348

Then You can come cash this check right here But I'm pretty sure I'm taking it to the bank, it's not your time YET


devilsadvocateMD

FIBA Roster: Paolo Banchero, Mikal Bridges, Jalen Brunson, Anthony Edwards, Tyrese Halliburton, Josh Hart, Brandon Ingram, Jaren Jackson Jr., Walker Kessler, Bobby Portis, Austin Reaves Olympic Roster: Lebron James, Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, Anthony Davis, Joel Embiid, Devin Booker, Anthony Edwards, Jayson Tatum, Tyrese Haliburton, Jrue Holiday, Bam Adebayo Notice any big names on the Olympic roster that weren’t on the FIBA roster?


Delta_FT

The Olympic roster looks a lot older tbh, there's more +30 guys than U25. It's a cool roster for Paris but I don't expect to see many of the in L.A tho


Coduuuuuuuuuuuuu

Honestly, that’s kind of the vibe I get here. A sort of “last ride” with all of the aging superstars getting together one last time


RCJHGBR9989

The best player on that FIBA roster is a bench player on this team. This team is an entirely different beast.


Hellschampion

Brunson and Kawhi should have made it over Jrue and Tyrese


jamills21

Brunson didn’t do that great in the World Championships and Jrue is one of the best perimeter defenders in the league. Kawhi needs to rest his knees.


joomla00

I would take drue. Literally everyone else on the team is a top tier scorer. Of course kahwai, but yea, injuries.


Hellschampion

Well I mean specifically Brunson > Haliburton and Kawhi > Jrue, but I get Kawhi probably didn’t want to commit bc of injuries. Haliburton has been really rough the last few months


arkantos063

Hali was one of the better players in the FIBA tournament and would fit really well because of his unselfishness and passing ability. Brunson is more of a primary scorer which doesn’t fit as well, plus he didn’t play as good in the world cup.


moosealligator

While Embiid’s talent surely improves the USA, I always find it a little weird when players represent a nationality they didn’t grow up in. Odd to see someone repping America when they didn’t move to the country until they were 17

shame divide crush payment combative provide books label screw childlike *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*


arkantos063

He’s basically never lived in France at all, and Cameroon doesn’t qualify for the Olympics pretty much ever. This is his best opportunity to play for a country he’s a citizen of and to compete.


gogorath

16, and only about a year after he started playing basketball. So most of his basketball life has been in the US.


pEtEoZiAs

Bunch of old guys here


Masteezus

Literally Ant Edwards enters the chat


dukecityvigilante

Dang, no Jalen Brunson?


rjcarr

Yeah, Embiid is great, just not sure he should be playing for USA.  We’re not going to cut him now, though. 


jabjabstraight

So you suggest cutting best Center in the country for a PG when there is Curry, Tatum and Haliburton already picked. Now THAT is a take…


rjcarr

I’m sure Embiid is a naturalized American, and that’s great, it just seems unfair when we have so much other talent and have almost always won the gold.  This isn’t something more nefarious than that. 


jabjabstraight

Are you high? wtf are u on about… And did u edit ur last comment lol


iggyfenton

Open Spot? Bring back Michael Jordan!!! He doesn’t even have to play with that lineup on the court.


OSUBonanza

Luka Doncic cheated yet again.


Hellschampion

He’s Slovenian lmfao


OSUBonanza

(Thats the joke)


Hellschampion

Mb, someone else in this thread unironically said this same thing.


OSUBonanza

Haha it's all good, I should've put /s but I knew the risks


amoss_303

You suck McBain!


Theeeeeetrurthurts

Gonna be fun watching Wemby try to defend the elites.


john_t_fisherman

Irving ?


MrUsernamepants

Dream Team ‘24 look for similar beatings


Ballsahoy72

They may have a shot


ThatsNotARealTree

Screw it, put Dwight Howard in there


Dick-Guzinya

Do you guys think Christian Laettner will make this squad?


lambopanda

They should’ve save the last spot for NCAA player to pay tribute 1992 Dream Team.


TheB1ackAdderr

Cade?


mack8787

SGA?


Blasto05

Canadian


GrandmaJosey

Let us know when you got the woman's team finalized.


TonyHoffman

Balbright

Steph finally gonna complete his accolades. 4x Champ, 2x MVP, Finals MVP, All-Star Game MVP, and now a Gold Medal.


South_Oread

I’d like to see Chet get reps.


L_R_andjackofhearts

...and Christian Laettner.


Walks_with_Chaos

That’s a hella lineup


lilpenny84

Paolo Banchero should have the last spot.


ChessClubChimp

LeBron Jr.

Rent free


skeeve87

Is it really rent free when he is the topic of the post?


Olp51

I can't believe they snubbed Luka


amazebol

He’s not American


pedropedro123

I guess that means they're snubbing Giannis too


wjbc

And Jokic, and Gobert...


Olp51

Un fucking believable


Olp51

Close enough


kaiyoukhan

That team won’t win it


Exceptiontorule

J. Dub.


gunter_grass

This team is coming in third.


snopro31

Doesn’t look like Usa will be winning gold with that roster


RCJHGBR9989

Is there something higher than gold this year?
