My favorite part is that they bust out the majestic masterpiece that is Roundball Rock, just for the Olympics now.

Unironically one of my favorite songs ever written. It's SO fucking hype and it takes me right back to being a kid.

I do like the small changes from Olympic/FIBA/World Basketball compared to the NBA. Gives the game a different feel and I love to watch Team USA win when they do.

I dislike the notion. To me it should be all about who's best in the world. Fuck gimping a country just cause they happen to take it more seriously than most of the world. Makes for great underdog stories too when somebody finally topples them.

Its crazy how unexciting and low-stakes the game seems compared to the NBA playoff games that were just happening a few weeks ago. More power to you if you enjoy it but as an NBA fan I just find it hard to care about this game at all.

But youre right, I wouldnt mind the NBA adopting some FIBA rules, or at least experimenting with them for a season.

Yeah, I was watching a game wishing MLB would let their top guys play. They could've taken a couple weeks off. Hopefully NHLPA will let their players play in February. Olympic Hockey isn't worth watching otherwise.

This is dumb

I find it fun that these multi millionaire superstars are basically rubbing shoulders with college and high school kids at the Olympics.

And pretty much everyone in the Olympics are pros who get paid for their sport. They're just not as widely known superstars as pro basketball players.

Would any of you seriously watch a men's basketball team of amateurs competing against eachother?

Remember how bad the quality of hockey was in 2018 when the nhl refused to send their players to Korea

I for one would love to see the nhl return for China 2022 and see a Canada line of MacKinnon-Matthews-Marner or a USA line of B.Tkachuk-Matthews-M.Tkachuk dummying China by scores of 15-0.

No athletes are amateurs. Pretty much all of them are being compensated.
All these athletes have their own world cups where they receive payment for wins.

Everyone in diving and gymnastics and track that you see all do this for a living, it's not some side hobby. You have to let in the best of the best or it would just be a bunch of drunken asshats.

Which we can have a different Olympics for that, cause that sounds entertaining.

"A living" is pretty disingenuous. Big winners can get sponsorships but the truth is most athletes end up broke. The payout for winning most Olympic sports is much less than what you can make working a normal job. And that's only the winners.

USA USA USA

The scary thing is that the USA didn't even have a lot of their other best players and still won gold...

LeBron, Davis, Leonard, Curry, Trae Young, Harden, Embid

Team USA could send 2 teams to the Olympics that is capable of winning gold.

I think men's soccer, and now unfortunately, hockey suffers in the olympics because of the pro-ban.

As someone who thinks the Olympics should be about the best of the best, not having the best there sucks. Men's hockey was always the MOST hype part of any of the olympics but god damn NHL had to kill it. I didn't give a damn about it last time, which was a shame. The women's hockey was cool, but the lack of physicality in it kinda hurts it.

Just hate the NHL commissioner. He sucks.

Same goes for baseball by the way. It's finally come back, would have been nice to allow mlb considering this will be the only one with baseball in quite a while. It's going away after this, so that's sad.
