“It’s not about anything Jayson is doing or not doing. It’s just about combinations and the way that group has played together, the way Kevin has filled in since he came back from his injury. It’s just a math problem more than anything.”

    He competing against lebron the best player in the nba possibly ever. And also KD the guy with the most Olympic gold medals you really think he gonna play? They have 10x more experience. That man he just gotta learn and be patient his time will come. Yea but everyone knows you have to compete yea they competing for a gold medal but you also gotta compete better for that spot and lebron and kd just got it more simple 💯no hard feelings

    This team can blow out France and win it all and the individual fandoms who can’t get their head out of their regular season ass are still gonna bitch and complain.

    KD is on the team that’s the right answer. And no one should be arguing that.

    You have 4 Forwards. Kevin Durant, Lebron James, Anthony Davis and Jayson Tatum.

    You have 40 minutes in a FIBA game.

    It’s not even a complicated math problem - every other forward on the team is better than Tatum.

    Team USA could have selected someone else if they didn’t need him and given the guy some time off after a long season, but what do I know.

      Or …. Hear me out… He could use this to learn from the older players, get a gold medal, enjoy the experience , prepare himself to take the reins and lead the next Olympics.

    Because Tatum simply doesnt do anything exceptionally great, as good as he is on every aspect of the game. He cant simply earn more time than the starters or other bench guys who each fill a desperate need or an exceptionable skill to the game. Theyre just too good.

    KT = KM

    1/K (KT) = 1/K (KM)

    T = M

    Tatum = Moody

    Tatum just won a ring at 26. What if the man just wants chill and embrace the greatness around him with a gold medal

    Tatum and the Celtics suck. There that’s what r/nba wants to hear and the only thing they’ll respond positively to.

    I’m absolutely exhausted by this story. So fucking uninteresting and pointless.
