And, prior to that, they're also probably better than the 09 magic, the 06 Mavs, the 05 Pistons, and all of the losers from 99-03?

Like, they're probably almost exactly the quality of an average finals loser over the last two decades

Comparing a GSW team that loses its best player during the playoffs is obv unfair. And even then they gave TOR a competitive match.

Yeah, they probably are on the low end of the rung for EC finalists, about equal to '06 Mavs. I can't think of a WC finals team they were clearly better than since, what, '91 Lakers?

Lmao. Touché.

I’m an OG. Well, from as young as I can remember. Born in 1989 and raised in Charlotte. Live at the Hive was a blast in the 90s! I can’t say the same for the last 20 years.

He's got two brothers in the NBA. The whole family has to be inundated with opportunities of all sorts, and perhaps he's good at picking support.

For a guy like Giannis, he makes more money off endorsements than in salary. It's simply absurd to think that people are giving him tens of millions of dollars annually for endorsements without also providing structure and guidance with respect to image and public persona.

Well LeBron makes 10x more and has 10x the advice and public image crafting and still comes off like a kook 90 percent of the time. No one would say Giannis doesn’t have PR people and think about his image, but his actual personality seems to come through in much more authentic ways than a lot of celebs.

It's really funny all these "superstars" don't know how to play team basketball.

They said during the game that Coach Pop had been scouting France for the last 2 years and how he thought they were a (very) good team and how France plays together a lot.

When The French Prince holds Dame to 11 and Lavine to 8, both on inefficient scoring, without even leaving the bench.

Pat Riley really should've traded Herro when had the chance.

Argentina is a good team. Slovenia cant defend well enough to compete for gold. A trip to the bronze medal game would be a huge win
