Update since the video was published: Kyle Lowry, Andre Drummond, Julius Randle have officially dropped out of Team USA. Bam Adebayo and Thaddeus Young were cut from team USA. Marcus Smart had to sit out of practice due to a calf injury still unsure whether he will return. DeAaron Fox was added making the team even younger. UPDATE. As of August 17, 2019, he has dropped out of team USA. Myles Turner, Mason Plumlee, Brook Lopez have been added to make up for the lack of depth at the center position. Joe Harris was added to make up for Team USA's lack of shooting. The team was gotten *significantly* worse since the video was published. Also to the comments wondering about Slovenia, they didn't qualify for the tournament missing the 492 point threshold by 8 points.
EG TV no, not this one . They are a bit better that than others, but they have lack of international bball experiences and too many young players.I think they will lost the 1st place.
Like I said, team USA is always going to be favorites, but this year is the best year for other teams seeing that team USA is at its weakest in almost 30 years.
Retro gaming a its one of the most weakest usa teams but peolpe forget these guys played in the nba like one guy like jokic or gasol are gonna make a big difference the current usa team is still really good on paper and better than the average nba team
YEAH the missing of Slovenia (Euro2016 winners) and Croatia present us a lot of questions about the dominance of the FIBA respect to Euroleague and NBA
Besides Giannis, Greece seems quite undersized. But if they have exceptional chemistry, they’ll get far. Serbia in my opinion is about to win. THAT roster with THAT chemistry is a recipe for success.
Oh God forbid an other country in the world win against the Mighty USA that invented Basketball and the first nation that figured out that black guys are better at it and they happens to have a bunch of them. There is not much point for good NBA players to play on that team, no challenge no glory no money.
NBA Players just don't play defense, you can just watch an NBA match and a FIBA match and see the difference in physicality between the two. The defense is a lot tighter in FIBA matches, they hand position and body to body pressure is very different, far stronger in FIBA matches, also the difference in skill between USA and International teams is decreasing, if you summ it all up if team USA don't bring the best of the best they will lose year after year from now on.
Ummm.... you're getting the FIBA world cup and the Olympics mixed up, the USA didn't lose the WORLD CUP in the last 15 years, not the FIBA world cup, USA's FIBA world cup team is not as dominate as the Olympic team. The Olympic team won 15 tournaments, while the FIBA team only won 5. There is literally multiple videos of NBA players explaining why they are more focused on the Olympics. LOL
Underestimating European competitions is not reasonable. After all does anybody remember World Cup in Indianapolis? Even if you had Kawhi, you still have to prove that you can beat so called weaker teams. Also rules are bit different and referees have different criteria. 5 fouls and you are out, shorter 3point, shorter quarter and of course traveling is called more than in the NBA. Let's say always.And games can end with free throws. Unlike NBA.
USA doesn't need a team full of all-stars to win the Fiba WC. Unlike most countries we have the deepest pool to make a roster of 12 quality NBA players. The top other countries just have a few on their roster. Still from top to bottom the USA roster will the deepest
USA was just eliminated from the FIBA World Cup. Shoutout to everyone here who already saw that coming
You missed something very important about team Greece.They "dont" have coach.
Almost like they sent the Celtics instead of team USA

Because they lost, like twice, they were more Real Madrid than NBA players in the final.
Ur prediction was correct .. shame on USA team garbage team.. wish curry n LeBron played ..
Who is here after Spain won?
Yo
Great video, keep up the fantastic work! Love your channel
This video has aged like a fine wine
1 update:Julius Randle is out.
And also 1 correction Giannis isn't the leader of the greek team that would be Ioannis Bourousis.
Ellhnaras ta jsereis ola ap'oti vlepw we?😅
Ok he isn't the leader but he is who is going to win the matches
@@lila3722 Ναι κάποιος πρέπει να τα ξέρει αυτά για να ενημερώνει και τους άλλους 😉.
@@thestigsafricancousin8767 Probably but not alone.
@@comingafteryou5352 Yeah obviously with a supporter cast, but we are talking 'bout the MVP 2019
Really underrated channel.
You need to do some more Game Of Zones references. I liked your series because you explain the jokes
Serbia🇷🇸
They could still pull it off with scrubs it’s still the nba
EG TV no, not this one . They are a bit better that than others, but they have lack of international bball experiences and too many young players.I think they will lost the 1st place.
Tell that to the 04 team
Like I said, team USA is always going to be favorites, but this year is the best year for other teams seeing that team USA is at its weakest in almost 30 years.
NAK this is true but at the end of the day it’s not the olympics and therefore nba players are not as interested
Retro gaming a its one of the most weakest usa teams but peolpe forget these guys played in the nba like one guy like jokic or gasol are gonna make a big difference the current usa team is still really good on paper and better than the average nba team
How abt Slovenia? Dragic + Doncic
They are not in the WC
@PritamTv I know I just realized I was wrong
I got 11 likes and yet they don't know that they aren't in the WC
YEAH the missing of Slovenia (Euro2016 winners) and Croatia present us a lot of questions about the dominance of the FIBA respect to Euroleague and NBA
Update 2.0:Marcus Smart got injured and is out completely.
Say good bye to our streak if we did have a streak
They didn't even get a medal.
GREECE 🇬🇷
Άμα θέλουν, μπορούν να κερδίσουν την κούπα
Άμα θέλουν ,μπορούν να κερδίσουν την κουπα

You predicted it all right man...lousy roster
USA can win even with rookies, 2nd years and 3rd years
i don´t understand....why NBA superstars didn´t play in the USA national Team?
Oh God forbid an other country in the world win against the Mighty USA that invented Basketball and the first nation that figured out that black guys are better at it and they happens to have a bunch of them. There is not much point for good NBA players to play on that team, no challenge no glory no money.
Dude holy shit 😱 you got some powers predicting this!
LMAO CALLED IT

And Drummond left too
Literally 3 hours after publishing the video lol
NAK lol
I thought usa vs argentina back in 2004 would end also to 89-79 like what happened today vs france. 🤔
this did not age well. in the Olympics
Damn right!
So it’s all nba players against each other lol
This age pretty well

I didn't know Serbia was that good
And it was correct 👀
In 2016 USA almost lost against Serbia
The Boston USA team
Team USA: *say sike right now*
THEY WON'T EVEN GO TO PLAYOFFS
I actually I think it's a good team 💯
I like it also.. but i think you just look at material, they lack the TEAM.. a bunch of good players dont make a team.
I like Serbia chances..
They lost lol
They still look strong though
Not really
They just lost LMAo
If the superstars played they wouldn’t even have to try
They did
I just think people underestimate the players that don't play in the NBA
5:22 yeah it continued USA didn't win gold
2006 vs Greece?
Hey stop it man with the noise
Isn’t Lowry on the team?
He’s injured
They (USA) may lack some all star players. But they all legit.. COME PLAY TIME YALL BE SURPRISE!
What again??
Team Canada all the way
Canada are losing guys to. No Wiggins, Barrett and Thompson.
Slim 86 or Murray
If these other players so good then why aren’t they in the NBA?
Because NBA is trash.
80% of nba players is average bum.
USA doesn't need a team full of all-stars to win the Fiba WC. Unlike most countries we have the deepest pool to make a roster of 12 quality NBA players. The top other countries just have a few on their roster. Still from top to bottom the USA roster will the deepest
Of course it’s a long shot for us to lose a single game but if it’s gonna happen it’ll happen this year.
Americans forgetting that team play is way more productive than selfish talent.
A just hope a Bronze medal will do for the current US Basketball Team?!
Can Australia get the Gold medal?
WOW
Who is here after 2020 Olympic are cancelled
3rd
