Curry was saying that in the direction of ya boy Draymunnnnd. lol. I dont buy it that this is it. I think him and Lebron going to play at the next one in LA.

i agree... that would be the best way to go out. derek white and tyrese haliburton didnt even play so curry and lebron being number 11 and 12 in their 40s is doable

2028 USA team prediction:
Guards: Edwards, Haliburton, Brunson, Booker, Curry
Forwards: Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Banchero, Zion, Lebron
Centers: Evan Mobley, Chet Holmgren

If Curry and Lebron are done, then insert Ja Morant and Bam Adebayo.

Would be extremely surprised if Tatum or Brown play next Olympics. Holiday should be on next team he’s a winner and not that old.

Call me crazy but I think Cooper Flagg has a better chance to make the team than Lebron, who might be retired by 2028.

I also think there is a chance AJ Dybantsa or Cameron Boozer might make it over Banchero and Zion
 
A bunch of 23 or 23 year old players in 2028 will not win. Except for a generational player like Wembayana it’s a grown man tournament.

I don't see Lebron, Durant and Curry playing in 2028. Think they will want to go out with this run. If the overall talent is lower (which I think it will be), I think they need to roster some more specialists.

Guards: Edwards, Booker, Holiday, Brunson, Haliburton
Forwards: Tatum, Banchero, Flagg, Jaden McDaniels
Ceners: Bam, Holgrem, AD, Mobley

Morant and Zion are two wild cards depending how
 
LeBron has said that he thinks he can play to age 50... But I doubt it, though both he and Steph are still bouncing around like they're 25.

Unlikely, but can't completely rule it out with these two...

You saw it this year. You can only really play 10. So the last two either they can fill it two younger players between 20-25 or have two honorable players just to be on the team and Lebron and Curry would definitely fit the criteria. Helps alot that it is in LA so they literally can just stay at the LeMansion instead of the Olympic Village.

When I predicted my 2028 team, I gulped. Oh no this doesnt look good unless Anthony Edwards turns into a top 3 player which is very conceivable in 4 years. But how fitting it would be France which in theory should be back in the gold medal game in 2028 vs hopefully the USA and get some sweet revenge on US soil?

We will see a generational shift in the NBA in the next few years. And this next generation has more international players at the top. USA still has the most depth by far, but how they play together is the question

For sh*** and giggles the 2028 USA team should look like this because you know DEI needs to apply here since there were no such players on 2024 squad.
Guards: Tyler Herro, Austin Reaves, Luke Kennard, Brandin Podziemski, Grayson Allen
Forwards: Duncan Robinson, Corey Kispert, Kevin Love, Kevin Huerter, Cooper Flagg
Centers: Chet Holmgren, Walker Kessler

the automatics of the summer olympics... chinese diving, chinese ping pong, jamaican sprinters, african distancers, and womens usa basketball...

usa womens basically almost failed us and maybe the world women are catching up too!
and the jamaican sprinters also didnt show up this year.

The Russians missing had a big impact in many sports as well.

King, Curry , and AD go out on top as some of the best to ever play. They were sensational on the center stage.
Def shifting powers however. This AAU trap in the USA isn't developing the kiddos like in Euro. Look for them to take the thrown soon.

stop... the euros outside of wemby were trash... there is a reason they arent in the league. AAU is not a trap, it is a means for fellas to get exposure when coaches arent flying to see them. if you think aau is there to teach fundamentals you are out of the loop. duke, kentucky and kansas arent flying to ponderosa high to watch games, however if those players are playing at aau tournaments in vegas the coaches will see them.

No one thinks AAU is there to teach fundamentals. AAU serves a purpose for sure, but it restricts the development of player fundamentals.

i gotta disagree... them fundamentals surely get developed when you are doing them versus the caliber of opponents on the shoe circuit

Outside of wemby?? What are you watching. We don't have steph and the gold isn't on our necks. That gap has closed.
AAU is garbage now and you just have blinders on is all. Just a big money grab filled with lies, corruption, and false promises. About the same quality of people you will find on the used car lot are running most of these places.

👆 this and the programs are supposed to offer structure, build camaraderie, and a high level of competition... and then you have a few a-hole kids who get beat or outhustled by small asian kids and feel the need to punch them in the face or stomp on their heads. Come on kids/parents. Be better.

AAU is becoming almost 100% street ball with little to no discipline or control.

People gotta remember aau and shoe circuit are different. Aau is not controlled because you don't have the time for that. Control and discipline is taught by high school coaches who usually are more qualified but most importantly have the time. They practice or play 7 days a week. Aau coaches get 2 days to get players to learn sets. And sometimes you have 7 kids so you can't even scrimmage. No big 6 coach is recruiting a player without some shoe circuit experience. They want to see you versus the best

This the guy who said ponderosa winning a state title.
Issa silva going to the NBA.
And Andre will set records at Stanford because of his home life.
Yeah, ima hold out on hoop advice from L
 
One guy who could improve over the next 4 years and be a good addition to the team is Fresnos own Jalen Green.

I just feel like next year with the contract on the line, he is going to have a big season.
