Jus imagine you have the final MVP and still lose..????

Sounds like ????. So you’re looking at match ups and apparently want a guard but still picked Kawhi? But you now draw the line at Jaylen Brown?? Really?? Cmon now

A hell of a lie because Brown should have been on the team over Bam and Devin Booker. He’s a champ and was the finals MVP

I’m not gonna pretend like Nike isn’t screwing Jaylen Brown rn, but notice how everyone on Team USA has extensive past experience with Team USA whether it’s in previous Olympics, FIBA, or the select team. Jaylen Brown has none of that experience. So why would they reward him with an Olympic spot when he hasn’t done anything to over the other guys to warrant a selection.

He’s a Muslim.. so is Kyrie… Nike doesn’t like that. That’s the reason nobody wants to mention because they’ll get “canceled”
@danielthompson3928

So let us see here…
Grant Hill said he and Team USA made the decision alongside the Clippers to remove Kawhi and that it was D. White that they decided upon without any influence from Nike.
Jaylen Brown said that they lied and Nike had something to do with it, the Clippers’ president said that they lied and that he wanted Kawhi to still play, and Windy just confirmed that the multi-billion dollar organizations absolutely have influence over who joins the team “sometimes”.
The team needs more guards and not wings yet Kawhi was on the team in the first place… to the people criticizing those who are calling it political, I would say to you that “you are delusional and literally everyone involved is saying that Grant Hill is lying”.

So basically kawhi was cut from the team. JB sided with Kyrie when he was going against nike. Jb was literally takingda swoosh off the shoes . Nike runs usa basketball they don’t fuc with him. End of the story. Wimbe can’t tell the truth because he’s working for nike.

Kawhi could have been one of the best but he is known as the fun guy huauaua ????

What Wendy talking bout ????????????
It’s clear as day they have an agenda against Jaylen Brown. If I’m him I’ll either play out my contract & allow my play to give another big contract in a better market or just win another one & retire. His purpose is bigger than the NBA, the game comes easy for him.

Nike don’t want him or kyrie on the team.

If I was Jalen brown I would f the Olympics im a champion n got a ring f Olympics look a camelo he got Olympic gold medals but no ring I would even or watch the Olympics if I was him ????
@markg911
July 17, 2024 at 5:21 pm
nothing against d white, he maybe a better fit or better defender than brown. same with hali, better handles than brown, but what does booker have over jaylen brown?
@markg911
July 17, 2024 at 5:34 pm
first if all, i love d white, he’s my favorite player. secondly, i think windy is the best in the business. my argument is this, if embiid (bigman) goes down, will he be replaced by brunson (pointguard), if steph (pointguard) goes down, will he be replaced by banchero (bigman). now, if kawhi (scoring wing who can defend) goes down, what type of player do you replace him with?

I hear the explanation, but JB is closer to Kawhi than DW. He is also a stronger and top athlete. You can’t go wrong with two ant men on the team.
