      He doesn’t want the AD starting because then it would be people saying something about him & Lebron starting & being on the same team in the league, I don’t think he’s going to have much of a choice. Maybe he’s letting him hang himself so to speak, so everyone realizes he should be on the bench so when Joel goes to complaining later we have plenty of video as to why .

Clearly he is always the best player on his team whether that’s the Nets, Suns, Thunder or whoever. All of these guys look great when they play with mediocre teammates. KD and Lebron are showing that they are a level above even the best in the NBA. That’s what I was trying to say.

    to get an unsportmanslike foul in fiba, it comes down to at least one of four criteria: contact that isn't a legitimate attempt to play the ball within the spirit and intent of the rules, generally excessive hard contact, unnecessary contact by a defender in an effort to stop the progression of the ball before the act of shooting, and contact caused by a defender laterally or behind the player who is progressing towards the basket with no other opponent between them and the basket. just because that one guy from serbia didn't get hit in the face by embiid doesn't mean it's not an unsportmanlike foul under fiba rules.

    for the embiid foul it's good to know that an unsportsman foul is not the equivalent of a flagrant but rather when the defender doesn't go for the ball, clearly here embiid just grabbed him by the chest under the arm, without caring one bit for the ball, that's why it's an unsportsman foul, the flop is irrelevant in this situation

The city of New York has two million more inhabitants than Serbia, and Serbia would beat the New York national team by fifty points. It is the same as if the country of Serbia competed with a small village. The national team of the Balkan countries with Giannis, Doncic and Jokic would destroy the national team of America even though they have five times less population than America. Jokić does not have a single top NBA player in his team, so 26 points is an extremely small difference.
