Although some of the best players in America aren’t in Tokyo:
No LeBron, No Curry, No Kyrie, No Harden, No AD, No Butler… need the best players there.

You know, they have other things to do like promote cartoon movies:
Gotta take a moment to give props to you @KingJames. Just finished watching #SpaceJamMovie. Damn good job. Damn good! Kids will love this. Way to go!!!

From woke to joke:
Dismal, dreadful and disappointing performance by USA basketball team in first Olympic loss since 2004. Played with no fire, no intensity, no passion and no sense of urgency. And we need the best players on the American squad. No excuse for this. #Olympics
