Mr 'Big Mouth' Lyles has finally eaten humble pie. He will be served the same dish tomorrow with the 4 by 100. That will teach him to say less and do more.

Serbia teaching the US team some basketball lessons this evening, not sure if the Yankee guys will recover !

Lol. If Serbia knocks out the USA, we'd have a conversation....
Re: The NBA Begins by Skrrrrrrr: 9:00pm On Aug 08

A triple double has been recorded 4 times in the Olympics. LeBron James has two of them. Omo

That is what happens when they don't develop a midrange jumper. The hype of a 3 going in is louder than a regular jumper so they play to the gallery.

Curry don suffer sha.
The disrespect.

Yeah it's shocking to me at times how most of this NBA super stars are mediocre at the midrange.
Curry, even Antman though he can get to the rim and dunk unlike Curry who is half the player without the three.

Which is why I rate players like SGA, Luka, Kyrie, KD...They can score from anywhere

Curry na my guy but person gats tell the truth. Without those screens, he can't do much damage unlike my guy KD, Kobe or Lebron who will create separation using a fadeaway. Here at the Olympics, there is no servant to be giving screens like Draymond would.

My God.
Haba....

I see we are back to the Durant vs Curry debate. Ok, I give. Curry is the one with more rings. KD needed Curry to win rings not the other way round. Accepted. It should also be accepted that Curry is a persona non grata as far as the Olympics is concerned. One appearance and an unimpressive one at that against KD's four appearances. Capisce!

Omo. Who be this guy?

Some folks here wanted to drag the legacy of a 2 time MVP, 1 time Finals MVP, 4 Time NBA champion, scoring title winner, because he had a few bad shooting games while he was playing well overall.

Comparing him to jalen fucking brunson.

Oh wrong now..
Questioning the offense of the greatest 6 ft 3 inch and below player in nba history.

Imagine thinking the greatest shooter ever and only unanimous mvp winner doesn't have an offensive bag.
Player that was cooking even under Mark jackson's poverty offensive schemes. sad

I swear na only curry they ever get this kind disrespect because he's not the prototypical hip or flashy black basketball player with tattoos who chooses to pound the ball for 20secs before making a low iq, low efficiency attempt and he doesn't do the highlight dunk.

Imagine still doubting Steph curry in 2024 angry angry

The CHEF!.......Noah Lyles lives to hate watch another day grin

Ahn ahn no one compares the CHEF to Brunson. It'll take Brunson five lifetimes to get to Curry's body of work. It has long been established now that the CHEF is the Second Greatest Point Guard of all time.

You can make your argument for KD against Steph even though their overall body of work puts Steph ahead of him.

But imagine mentioning names like Brunson, Kyrie, Iverson and Demar Derozan grin grin
It's obvious you never watched prime Steph.

I am talking about now, you are talking prime Curry. The ones I mentioned would have done better in this Olympics. Ok, DeRozan is stretching it a bit but the other two, Ky and Brunson would have put on a show at this Olympics.

Oga, it's a stacked team. Anyone can show out when the opponent is not formidable. Curry could have scored 1 point in all of those games and the USA would cruise to victory.
This was their only test. They'd be on the next flight to Alaska if it wasn't for curry. Show some respect....

My point is that, it doesn't really matter.

There is nothing players like Lebron, Steph and to a lesser extent KD can do again to remove from their legacy, they can only add to it.

Those guys are set.

I know you're a big Lebron fan. Imagine someone shitting on Lebron's offensive prowess and comparing him to Paul George grin because he has a few bad shooting games at this stage of his career, no be colos be that grin

The only acceptable debate out there is Lebron vs Jordan for who is the GOAT.

Likewise, you can't be mentioning Steph and Brunson, Kyrie, Derozan in the same debate.

BTW, that is the most point scored in an Olympic knockout game, and the second in the Olympics for Team USA.
