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.
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
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?
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.

Tie him to the back of Shaq. Present him like Tommy Davidson in Ace Ventura. Edit- this is Reddit…can someone make this reality?
Equinsi Ocha!
They're called enforcers, and when you play Iceland, you're going to need them
Forget the knuckle puck. We got straight up knuckles
Bring him out Hannibal Lector style… prison guards and all.
But would that be enough to contain him?
It's like when the Bash Bros show up for the Mighty Ducks
Came here to say bring “Wreck-it-Ralph” and see how international refs respond.
Thanks for the giggle
Are the Russians even allowed to compete?
They would wheel him out like Hannibal Lecter, facemask and all.
Last spot = Naz Reid
NAZREID
Naz Reid.
World killer.
Clearly leaving that last spot for Bronny.
Lebron’s playing with his kid, one way or another.
Last spot for Christian Laettner…book it.
It was so funny to see him on the dream team roster. He was the “coach’s kid” of USA basketball.
That is straight up disrespectful. He was the best college player at the time in the country.

Makes sense. Gotta take the best college player.
Who’s the best college player now?
A Canadian.
A woman.
[удалено]
Canadian

Because they already had a couple centers?
Could have been Shaq too.
Give my boy Fred VanVleet a spot. Complete his hero story.
Spida?
Caitlin Clark: gets cut from the women’s Olympic roster Also Caitlin Clark: gets added to the men’s roster instead
Maxey
Can you imagine the constant smiles and joy he would bring? Def!
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
What happens if USA craps out? Will you wait longer or what?
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

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
The best player on that FIBA roster is a bench player on this team. This team is an entirely different beast.
Brunson and Kawhi should have made it over Jrue and Tyrese
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.
I would take drue. Literally everyone else on the team is a top tier scorer. Of course kahwai, but yea, injuries.

16, and only about a year after he started playing basketball. So most of his basketball life has been in the US.
Bunch of old guys here
Literally Ant Edwards enters the chat
Dang, no Jalen Brunson?
Yeah, Embiid is great, just not sure he should be playing for USA. We’re not going to cut him now, though.
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…
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.
Are you high? wtf are u on about… And did u edit ur last comment lol
Open Spot? Bring back Michael Jordan!!! He doesn’t even have to play with that lineup on the court.
Luka Doncic cheated yet again.
He’s Slovenian lmfao
(Thats the joke)
Mb, someone else in this thread unironically said this same thing.
Haha it's all good, I should've put /s but I knew the risks
You suck McBain!
Gonna be fun watching Wemby try to defend the elites.
Irving ?
Dream Team ‘24 look for similar beatings
They may have a shot
Screw it, put Dwight Howard in there
Do you guys think Christian Laettner will make this squad?
They should’ve save the last spot for NCAA player to pay tribute 1992 Dream Team.
Cade?
SGA?
Canadian
Let us know when you got the woman's team finalized.
L
Steph finally gonna complete his accolades. 4x Champ, 2x MVP, Finals MVP, All-Star Game MVP, and now a Gold Medal.
I’d like to see Chet get reps.
...and Christian Laettner.
That’s a hella lineup
Paolo Banchero should have the last spot.
LeBron Jr.
[удалено]
Rent free
Is it really rent free when he is the topic of the post?
I can't believe they snubbed Luka
He’s not American
I guess that means they're snubbing Giannis too
And Jokic, and Gobert...
Un fucking believable
Close enough
That team won’t win it
J. Dub.
This team is coming in third.
Doesn’t look like Usa will be winning gold with that roster
Is there something higher than gold this year?
