*wins the world cup*
*wins the world cup*
well, try to not loose by 37 points this time, then
Would unironically be okay with this just to see Popovic and Kerr get humiliated.
>bragging early about beating the nigger 3rd team
which is funny because in this nigger sport you will probably again lose by 40 points
The only Serbian player Popovic would want in his team is Jokic, though.
I might be okay with this just so those guys who backed out will be shat on
France vs Serbia
FIBA U16 euro
youtube.com
I doubt they'll be shat on. Actually, the ones who will be shat on will be the ones who came. In fact, there's nothing to gain for US NBA players to play this tournament: they consider it totally irrelevant, the money they'd get palying it is pocket money compared to their NBA salaries, they risk an injury, if they win nobody will give them credit for that, and if they loose they'll get shat on.
We don't care about the World Cup. Basketball's highest prize is the Olympics. This isn't soccer, breh.
The only way Serbia can embarrass themselves is by losing to a team that isn't the US by less than they lose to the US third-stringers (+Kemba Walker).
>Curry, Westbrook, Irving
>Lillard, Lowry, Paul
Walker could be considered a third stringer too, actually. Even if you put Paul out, you could still add Conley, or play Harden as PG. The US depth at PG is insane, and each one of these palyers would easily be the starter in any other national team.
at last it fucking started
Well, try to beat 40 years old average lithuania first.
orly
Delete this thread you fucking nigger.
FFS Lithuania's jersey has as many adds as a club jersey...
Jokic just dunked, its over
fucking dead link
just dont chimp out like you did against the greeks when we beat you both today, monday and in the real thing
ok?
Serbia as cold as a witches tit
hopefully. players dropping out of team usa like a bunch of sissies deserve it.
Respect for Lowry, nigga got a thumb surgery just recently and still wants to play
>French team
>half black
lmao
US team is all black. What are you getting at
that's white as fuck, for a French NT
their basketball team has always been whiter than the football team
20 years ago, they were actually majority white
?
how injured is Teodosic?
i hope it's something serious, so he can finally fuck off
JESI TI BRE BUNIKE JEO
I have faith in my country.
Young and talented generation.
But we all know its impossible to compete with usa
>he enjoys a sport where, if there was a world cup and the US could send 3 teams, an african-american team 1, team 2 and team 3 would win 1st, 2nd and 3rd place respectively
Based Scola still balling.
We don't know yet, he wen't to the hospital after the game. I hope it's nothing serious.
apologize
>Basketball
>World Cup
Plantar fasciitis again, it's a recurring injury for him.
Very lame and gay, will probably miss the WC.
Would the NBA be fucked if Eurobasket league (and the Euroleague) actually becomes strong and relevant with enough of a marketing push or will that never happen?
I dont know man, USA doesn't look unbeatable this year. France, Greece, maybe even Spain or serbs if they won't play like yesterday could give them trouble.
As someone who knows very little about basketball, which is considered more prestigious, the World Cup or the Olympics?
Olympics by far
>or will that never happen?
It will never happen. The NBA minimum wage for a rookie is a top wage in Europe. And even if the wages are increasing in Europe (you can find some players who are at 2 to 3 millions a year), there still way lower than your random NBA wage (that are increasing even more anyway).
Also, basketball makes absolutely no profit here, it's only suggar daddies feeding their team, and almost nobody is ready to throw away 80 to 100 millions € at a loss to match the NBA wages (and those who can are doing it in divegrass).
Olympics. Football is pretty much the only sport for which the WC is more prestigious than the Olympics.
He had this with the Clippers as well
This is Andrew Blatche. Say something nice to him.
also the NBA draft steals the best young talent every year, Real Madrid got practically nothing for developing Luka Doncic
Yeah, definitely won't be playing in the WC.

Recuring injury for him, quite bad news for his career. Also shed a light as for why no EL team signed him and why he had to go to Bologna (who are probably sweating heavil now).
I had to say though, he somehow had it coming, you can't really take 6 months of pause and go back just like that at very high and physically demanding level / intensity, it's a perfect recipe for injury.
Blocks your path
Even CSKA didn't want him back, they knew he was in terrible shape.
good news for your NT unironically
Good. Now Micic can play more minutes
