[quote]but these two way contracts often end up in the nba in year one (at least for a little) and are looking at 6 figures. [/quote] Okay you’re grossly overestimating how many of those guys end up in the league. It’s still very hard for a 2 way guy to get on an NBA roster, even in year 1. It ty...

Rory made a huge charge. Good to see Xander playing this well. Hideki playing really well in his home country I think was a given going in. ...

Said in an earlier post he’s no doubt a top 5. I think you have to give the nod to Giannis over him right now, more hardware and a ring. I think KD is still the better basketball player, but what I meant by it is, I think Luka is going to have the best Olympics out of anybody. He’s younger than KD, ...

You may be very well right, I’m certainly bias on the matter. Saying they take gold is probably still a stretch. I think the US team still will win it, but I think Slovenia is looking like they will medal. I hate saying this cause it almost seems non believable still, but I like Slovenia’s chances o...

Had to bump for Slovenia’s second game played. I’m still rooting for the US team obviously, but Luka is my favorite basketball player and being a huge Mavs fan, I’m rooting for Slovenia hard. Slovenia pummeled Japan 116-81 in their second game to start group play 2-0. The line was set at 22.5 ...

I would honestly have liked that format quite a bit, allow more counties in as well. Who would our 2 U.S. qualifiers have been in that scenario? Minus Bryson assuming still COVID. Would it have been Morikawa, and JT? I think they are higher ranked than Reed and Xander if I’m thinking right. ...

Get out of here. It’s one of the most enjoyable things at the Olympics right there with track, and gymnastics. Absolutely love the swimming. ...

Sepp had a big day, but I don’t think he can hang on. I liked Hovland to get silver going in, and I’ll stick with that prediction. Xander played pretty well, he could have a shot at gold. I hope the hole locations are a little bit tougher out there today. ...

I’m young so this was even before my time, but looking back at all the amazing Olympic memories, I go with Derek Redmond in the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona. Derek Redmond running the 400 for Great Britain tore his hamstring, and of course his father running down shrugging off the security and ...

Watching as well, was wanting to make this the official thread. Was wondering when it was going to get done. Morikawa and Rory’s group about to tee off. I want one of the Americans to get it obviously, but I can’t root for Patrick Reed. Will hope to see Morikawa and Xander do really well. Gold -...

I take into account total, + amount of golds. If America has the most medals, but second most gold, I’d probably still consider them to have “the best Olympics” I think accounting the weight of gold medals should be the biggest determination however. If Japan had the most golds, but second most meta...

The GOAT tennis player when it’s all said and finished. It’s still crazy to me that probably the unquestionable 3 best tennis players ever have all been playing at the same time. Blows my mind. ...

I’ll say Morikawa, Hovland, Sungjae Im all medal. ...

You mean like in 2011 when we had a national championship quality team, and played 2 different QB’s the entire year and got manhandled in the most important game of the year? No thanks. ...

What did Kerr do other than take over for Mark Jackson right when Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Green were transcending into players? And then oh yeah Kevin Durant comes right after that. He hasn’t fielded great teams since KD left, and Curry and Klay have been dealing with injuries. Pop wouldn’t h...

He’s better than Jokic. Jokic is probably the 6th or 7th best basketball player in the world. I think Luka is around 4-5 right now. Really hard to win playoff games when KP looks like a dear in the headlights, and your team is missing shots. Jokic has much better talent around him on the Nuggets...

Get outta here before you derail the thread. You’re deflecting the fact that Luka Doncic is the best basketball player in the world. ...

[quote]learn how to use paragraphs[/quote] oo! I’m shaking in my boots. ...

My hot take prediction for this Olympics is that Slovenia will win the gold medal in Men’s Basketball. Entering with the 4th or 5th best odds wherever you look at it, Slovenia enters with only one NBA player in Luka Doncic. Although Goran Dragic could be on the team, but is not, his brother is. They...

Somebody got the ghey in this thread. What’s with all the downvotes? I’m seeing 4/5 good looking girls. ...
