LINK to FIBA Final Rosters


Watching Germany vs Japan.

Hard not to cheer for a team that doesn’t have a guard over 6’. 5’5” and 5’7” dropping 3s.

Germany is supposed to be the usa toughest opponent. They don’t look it.

Canada will be another team to check out. Loaded with nba talent with guys like SGA, Jamal Murray, RJ Barrett, Lu Dort, NAW, Wiggins and a few more nba guys.

Even have all time nba bust Anthony Bennett on the squad.

France has Wemby, Batum and Gobert on the court together right now versus Brazil

France has zero guard play even with Evan Fournier

Their size will be an issue but like you mention, they don’t have any guards. Holiday is going to work them over on both sides of the court.

This French team on home soil is a bit scary. I don't mind that. '92 was great but I believe this is their lasting legacy. So many great national teams now rather than teams with a couple of stars and a bunch of nobodys filling the roster back then.

Went to a Shibuya Sunrockers game in April and there is an American on the roster who became a Japanese citizen and is on their Olympic team.

That's one way to make it.

At the end of this Olympics there’s a non-zero chance Embiid becomes my least favorite basketball player
