Do you blame the LeBron's and Steph's of the World for not taking part?

What is that, qualifications for the Olympic Games? Or just a practice game?

When I heard Nigeria beat us
I was a bit ashamed and embarrassed
Thoughts of Airplane went through my head (not trying to be politically incorrect or anything) -

Has the squad for the Olympic Games been announced? Are the biggest NBA stars taking part? Yes
We do have some huge names
Kevin Durant, Damian Lillard, Devin Booker (not playing right now because he's in the NBA Finals), Bam Adebayo, Bradley Beal, Zach LaVine, Kris Middleton (not playing right now because he's in the Finals), Jrue Holiday (see Booker and Middleton), Jayson Tatum, Jerami Grant, some big names - but aged vets like Kevin Love, Draymond Green
All being coached by a legendary coach - Coach Pop

They were together 4 days to weeks for the Nigerian team, which has NBA talent.
That's a good loss. Other countries are getting better every year, and the more international players that go to the NBA, the more often this happens.

Personally, I stopped caring about Olympics basketball the moment we started sending pros. If you play a sport where an Olympic medal would be anything but first on your sports resume, it probably shouldn't be a sport that is in the Olympics.

Javale McGee and Keldon Johnson to replace Kevin Love and Bradley Beal.
I'll be over the moon if Steph Curry joins the team.

Team USA was trying to play NBA basketball were flops get rewarded. FIBA doesn't play that and they weren't getting the foul calls they wanted. It was embarrassing to watch.
