Is USA Basketball In Trouble at the Olympics?

- USA easily has the most talented basketball team at the Olympics but are they unstoppable? That’s what people thought when they won gold 3 straight times after the Dream Team but 2004 was a nightmare. Could we see that happen again in Paris?
What I learned from this video: Sketchers sponsers Embiid 😭

😜
Hell nah
And there is nothing wrong with that
To be fair Noah Lyles wasnt really doubting the NBA dominance, but more like American sports have a tendency to call the champion of world champions in a US only league
that's what he said. you don't call yourself world champion if you win the premier league or champions league, too
U.S. and Canadian only league......
That would only be True if the MLB and NBA didn't allow Foreign Players to play, and the fact is that the NBA Champs and MLB Champs are the best Teams at their Sport in the World.
I just hated his tone of voice like it felt like he was totally mocking the NBA
@@SamuelMaller well he was mocking them but he was also serious 😂
If Yugoslavia was still one country they would give the US some serious competition.
imagine Doncic and Jokic duo damn
@@saicharan1850 they still lose..just watched luka get fooled into playing for awards instead of playing to win..same effect would happen
yall got so much to say watch it go silent once Team USA is violating your favorite foreign team lol 😁😁😆😆🤣🤣😂😂😆🪘🪘🪘🪘😎
True
@@EternalDarkseid btw Yogoslavia has more Gold Medal in world cup than the US before Yugoslavia was dessolve
i still wouldnt say lyles questioned the quality of the nba he just put out the facts that calling the winners of an US (and Canada) only tournament world champions
I was coming to comment the same thing. He just spoke factually and literal. The whole world isn't involved. Yes, there's many players from around the world in the NBA but it doesn't change the fact that the NBA is an american league.
Still better than everyone else
It's the same in the premier league - arguably the football / soccer league with the most stars/most money / toughest competition, but you don't win a world championship, just the premier league.
@@Steven._.. true but the most skilled football league in europe (probably the Premier league in england) also is maybe the best for a competition but they dont say we are world champions

That opening ceremony will be interesting as Noah walks with USA Basketball.
🤣🤣🤣
Noah is a Clown
I think the opening ceremony this year will be all of the athletes on a boat down the river in Paris so that's going to be awkward as hell 😂 but I think only the captains of each team shows up so it's probably just going to be LeBron, KD, and Steph
@@corpyhogan4433 i think the country allows all their athletes to attend opening ceremonies but leaves it to their own discretion especially if they have an event the next day. standing around for hours is not a joke
Germany beat a completely different USA team! I do not know why this is still a comparison?
was about to say it too, the comparaison is pointless
AM hoops is a bad journalist, probably why he had to get off TV and start filming in his lounge room
It's same Germany team, they have great team chemistry, you never know
Yeah and Team USA is one again not a „team“ … there are several teams in the olimpics that will have a chance beating them on a good day.
Germany has a great team where everyone knows his role.
It's not about the players. There's no question that the USA has the best athletes and probably will win gold. But it's about two things, above all. 1: attitude. Will the US team be willing to play defense? Teams like Serbia, Greece, Germany, Spain all play for the honor, for the pride. USA plays for the money. 2: rules. A lot will depend on if the refs will really employ FIBA rules. Take the friendly game vs. Australia as an example. Under strict FIBA rules, the US team would clearly have lost the game...
The US backlash, if they don't get gold, might be so bad that they go back to college players.
Would make no sense lol
Or they could be adult about it and just choose players with a better work ethic
@@jj9749 The NBA hasn't been run by adults for a while now.
It's a different style of basketball in the Olympics and if team USA starts yelling and begging for foul calls its not going to be good for them.
team USA has veterans who have played in the Olympics. They know that better than you
LeQueen will embarrass the US.
That's all these over-rated clowns know how to do. Lebron has been charging into defenders and crying foul for years now.

@@alphadog3586what he do in the nba playoffs this year though
@@JJJJ-he8bz Averaged 29 13 9 .. Stop trolling
I wouldn't say 'in trouble' but they're definitely beatable. The defense is going to have to carry the day, because a lot of these players are too similar. France and Serbia are two contenders who could overthrow them.
and all the pressure point to USA. like if you win well that is expected but if non US superstar win. man imagine the chaos
Canada too
This team wasn't built for defense. It a group of celebrity has beens
All star game should be like Australia's State of Origin - but Country of Origin. USA vs ROW
mate against mate, unless you're from a country under represented in the NBA, then it's just you and two other guys against everyone else
Nike blackballed Kyrie and JB for calling out child labor. Dame and Donovan for repping Addidas. I hope team Nike loses for the backlash and maybe we can put the best team in all of USA on court from then on.
Nike is American company, whose revenue and profits directly help the American economy and bring in Tax revenue to the American people.
Repping Adidas should get them banned from the NBA. If you don’t agree with that then GTFO of the USA. America is the most prosperous country in the world, the Average American has earns double the disposable income of the average European.
If you’re not going to be patriotic and support American companies then leave our great country
The most interesting Olympics lineups in some time. As an Australian though, I’m worried we won’t even make it out of Group A. Our team is also too old but nowhere near as deep.
finally, an honest realistic take
If the USA gets complacent they will lose. Even if they don’t it’s not guaranteed 100% gold. It’s a team sport, the best team wins. I’ll wait for the first games to see the team chemistry…
why would they get complacent. they want to win like every other Olympic athlete
@@sabrevinver4062 They’ve done it before. Being the most talented not always equates to victory.
When you’re being paid hundreds of millions of dollars and you’re famous sometimes it takes away some of that will to hustle.
I mean sure USA has the highest odds to win the Gold... But that doesn't mean it will be easy...
Only if Steph Curry is healthy from start to finish.
@@sonnyday7400 Curry is irrelevant, and has been for some time.
The USA team has been lucky with Leonard not playing. White and Holiday are the only reason this team can win, actually. So many "stars" but most of them are at the end of their careers, injury prone or not caring about defense anymore. Without those two this wouldn't be a team, just a bunch of old glories.
Ok Boston fan. Boston’s last time winning was 2010
@@reasonablebb1724 Wrong, I actually don't like Boston. I'm just being realistic.

Don’t sleep on Serbia tbh, they got a solid roster and steamrolled France a couple days ago
Embiid wears Sketchers??? Damn bro, I guess Buster Brown turned him down.
I already know the USA isn't gonna get gold in the Olympics this year.
everybody knows that but the commentators argue otherwise
Let's see how is your chemistry in single elimination games with Fiba rules and an european crowd 😉
Nobody’s talking about this we know what it’s like because we are from here wait till there’s fireworks outside the USA team hotel at 3am before a game flares of at games Europeans can get nuts especially the French there not wise look what they did to messi and neymar for the bad performances
Sounds good see ya then
Team USA might be better without KD, Steph and Lebron for this 2028 Olympics. KD is injured and Lebron and Steph were all minus -6 for both exhibition games against Canada and Australia, and Lebron had 7 turnovers. The bench has played much better.
Lebron and Curry are irrelevant and have been for quite some time.
Who was on that Argentina team that beat us? Ginobilli and Luis Scola? That US team had many times the talent as Argentina but still lost to them because they weren't a team and were not used to the international game, amongst other reasons. Just go with the results. It doesn't always have to make sense. If we went purely by talent, every team that had more talent would always win in whatever game being played.
We'll see what it looks like when things get serious.
USA have too much firepower to lose.
Bron, Steph, KD, Ant, JT, Embiid, AD, Book
8 players who can put 30+ any given night
Jrue, Bam, White - Elite Defenders
Joker all day
It’s spoken into existence from a rush hour sequel, when they’re in Paris the cabbie “the dream team is dead”
Somebody really said Serbia with Jokic and a bunch of nobodies are gonna beat team usa. 😂😂
😂😂😂
In a best out of 7, no way, but in one game anything can happen. Serbia, France, Canada and even Spain (I learned a long time ago to never underestimate them, even when they are not that strong on paper) can bean USA in one game.
Yeah, they beat Serbia by 20+ points yesterday, but Bogdanović, Jović and Milutinov didn't play and their coach obviously experimented with some players that won't even go to the Olympics.
Team USA are the nobodies, over-rated irrelevant celebrity clowns.
@@synchronize00 Sorry to burst your bubble, even with those three the score was 110-84🤣🤣🤣😆😆😆

@@felipecouto1102 it’s a joke bro chill
Ant has very good future
You're completely overlooking team chemistry and strategy. Sure, the U.S. team has the biggest stars, but FIBA basketball of late is dominated by ball movement, reversals and team defense. To win, the US will have to shift away from relying on individual talent - where one guy dances and the rest watch - and become a more cohesive team. Otherwise they WILL lose, despite their stars.
“Theres no chance the USA won’t win Gold” queue USA losing to Serbia in 2 days
how about we make a bet on that? Put your money where your mouth is when you say Serbia will beat Team USA. Easiest money I will ever win
USA lost both their exhibition games in 2021, it doesn't really matter what happens right now.
@@sabrevinver4062 i’m not old enough to bet i’m 16
@@pbrite it does mean something means they’re beatable
@@JamesSant1 Sure they’re beatable, it’s just highly unlikely for it to happen. Remember these are practice games. They’re likely still figuring out what works and what doesn’t. They lost to Australia in 2021 in exhibition but then beat them by almost 20 in the semifinals.
The main strength of the USA team is their depth. The second unit of this current team is probably as good if not better than the starters from the Tokyo Olympics.
noah lyles never questioned US dominance. He only said the truth, the NBA champions are not the world champions, even if the US basketball is the best in the world. Ya'll just making imaginary enemies

We don't need either of them. U.S was winning before and after them, getting 16 gold medals out of 20, more than anyone else in the history of this game. Winning gold is never a priority for our athletes but an enjoyable past time activity. It's the playoffs and the ring that everyone cares about.
Jaylen Brown not being on this team is worst than leaving Isiah Thomas off the OG Dream Team

Australia just took USA to the end. 😮
....and lost
Stop - Australia was down 20 and then the USA start to fuck around and the lost some of the lead.
I think it will come down to the referees!
If they apply strict FIBA rules, it will be a lot more difficult for guys like LBJ to carry the ball, travel, double dribble, shoulder bully etc.
And don’t forget that we have no 3s violation (which can also help the US defend better).
From what I‘ve seen so far, the US rely too much on 3 pts play and there is not enough (at times yes) ball movement.
If Wemby and Gobert manage to play great, he can be a problem. Don’t forget Serbia, the last loss was just a practice game.
Personally I wish the US to fail simply because of the arrogance displayed. Even the 92 team wasn’t that arrogant.
"like LBJ to carry the ball, travel, double dribble, shoulder bully etc." That's his entire game and has been for years !!
We won tho
Your analysis never talked about international rules difference, defense, & at the end went right back to individual ability considerations (leaning towards offense) rather than team play. A well rounded analysis should include defensive capabilities and team plays where you have selfless guys like Holiday and White but is it enough combined with the coaching while toning down so many egos and how to play LeFlop when his flopping and lazy defense and inconsistent scoring going to drag down the team.
you're speaking like he hasn't been playing his role as leader/facilitator lol
@@vic3knight310how quickly he forgets the times Bron folded the celbums on pure athleticism with Tristan Thompson being his frontcourt😂
I'm gonna keep saying it. Embiid playing for the US is wild.
Why not? Embiid is a naturalized US citizen which means Joel Embiid is an AMERICAN.
@@nicklubrino2606
given his first 2 games, it's no longer even a question of citizenship, dude, but of level and motivation 😂
@@nicklubrino2606 Every day, 10,000 new "naturalized" Americans enter your borders, except they are not there legally... The only difference between those new ones and Embiid is that, he is there legally and that does not make him an American.
Team USA has no weaknesses. Anything can go wrong in single elimination, but the fact that the entire field is what is measured against team USA instead of any single team only showcases how much deeper they are than anybody.
No weaknesses? We just witness their biggest weakness in paint defense. They let Australia put up 65 paint points! That is very bad, and this is coming from an American
Team USA hasn't no weaknesses: *bursts into wild laughter*
@@ADM.II. hasn’t no? What does that mean
@@ABNclips It was a typo. I meant to type *has no weaknesses*

Stacked Canada? You sure? 🤣 Dillon Brooks made the image has a top-5 player on the team- that’s not good 😂
This years's Team USA will beat anybody else by 10pts or more. Serbia and Canada will battle for 2nd place, maybe France and Germany if they're lucky. I'm from Switzerland/Europe so no bias from my side.

I'm convinced you never touched a basketball before. JB is not as good as a fit when you already have book, JT, Edwards, KD. You need shooting, defense, and playmakng, and Derrick White is far better for those areas.
not sure why this is still getting brought up. DW is on the team and JB isnt
Hey Casey just wanted to say I love your content and that this is a way more trustworthy source than something like ESPN or bleacher report
It's not team USA anymore, it's team Nike :(
Without kyrie this team will fail.
Hopefully the USA gets gold because the hype is so strong for this Olympic team
If 39 year old, most overrated athlete of all time, LeBron James is their "Best Player", then I'd bet my house they don't medal - but it's pretty clear he's not their best player & the game shouldn't run through him if they want any chance to win.
If you've actually watched Lakers' games & not just glanced at highlights/looked at box scores, then you understand LeBron isn't going to be handed his 14-18 points/game from cheap fouls, uncontested dunks, & straight up cherry picking. Add his atrocious defensive effort, which I'd describe as "being a turnstile" - but turnstiles actually slow people down for a second or two - LeBron doesn't anymore, he's going to be a giant liability. I can't wait to see him get exposed, yet again.
Oh, & Jalen Brown didn't go bc Nike controls USA basketball, it's pretty clear. Nike feigning to be more virtuous than anyone, while using slave labor, is LeBron level hypocrisy.
USA won every single one of the last 4 Olympics. USA has 16 Gold Medals, Soviet Union 2, Yugoslavia 1 and Argentina 1. Soviet Union and Yugoslavia don't even exist anymore and Argentina didn't even qualify this year. And nobody else ever won even one single Gold Medal. I really don't see the problem.
So are the eventual NBA champions gonna stop saying theyre the World Champs if indeed they lose in the Olympics, or are we just gonna let them continue to claim otherwise?
How do you miss Serbia as biggest contender with the USA?
More like South Sudan
Is it the United States of Israel? 😆

People's solution to all star game: use national animosity. Probably another yellow press drama for nba in the future
I don't to hear the world talking about how good they are. US is so ahead that they think about promotion then winning.
In the Mexico City Olympics the Mexican in the 5000 meter Walk (or whatever the distance was) was allowed to RUN so that Mexico could get its gold medal. Officiating has a say, so bet on France to win in basketball in 2024.
Is USA in trouble? Hell no
Noah Lyles didn’t question the dominance, he questioned calling a national title World Championship
Looks like A.M is getting lazy by copying and pasting the same clips and stats from the Kawhi video! 🤔🙄
The USA’s best long term hope is Wemby does an Embiid and comes to Team USA
Which idk, it seems like Wemby loves his own country in France
Whenever Lebron will be on the court, the other team will have a shot at the win. And if the USA loses, it won't be his fault of course, you know, he's an old guy and all that stuff.
I still have us wining gold. That said we are our worse enemy. All star filled team means all star filled ego. But in reality we lack the fundamentals or chemistry down. Sure pure talents they exceed everyone. But chemistry and fundamentals can overcome that. Fiba and the nba are not the same.
Finally one sane person from the US. You my friend is a rare case.
Do not disrespect the talent and IQ of international basketball players. There is not ‘no chance’ that the US loses even one game, there is a legitimate chance they do. Serbia, France, and Canada could stun the US if they play their best possible game.

Just for leaving off Jalen Brown it wouldn't shock me if team USA lost...
I started telling people 20 years ago that the days of just showing and winning international are over
Damn that group A is stacked
I’m just glad Bron and Nike didn’t bring Bronny to team USA
USA, Canada, Serbia, France, Greece, Germany... All of these countries have basketball talent. But USA has 335 million people, Canada has 40, France has 70, Serbia has 7... That is why there is no chance for these teams to win. 50 states are better than 1.
USA has 330 million people, rest of world has 6 billion. Thats why your argument doesnt work
Seeing Bron win GOLD for the REDEEM TEAM in 2008 in China was for the haters. And good luck to anyone looking to break his scoring record in the League.
I don't know if they're in trouble, but they need to stop being compared to the dream team.
Nikes acting like having Derrick white is going to drive sales
Olympic 2024, no Curry, no Gold Medal, Lebron can't win without Curry, Lebron is free to shoot coz of Curry's presence on the court.
USA might have assembled the avengers , but you forget there is 1 ball on the court , not 12.
Anything can happen
If LeBRONZE wins another Bronze. He will be the first GOAT to do it.
