KD is the best Olympic player of all time

[StrongLurk]

Hope people haven't forgotten.

The guy is quite easily the best Olympic baller the US has ever had. He is far and away the best scorer too based on his averages.

Dude averages 21/6/3 on 54/49/88 splits in international play.

Already 7-7 (5-5 from 3) in this first game :lol

[WhiteKyrie]

Easily. We wouldn’t have won in 2010, 2016, and 2021 without him

[gengiskhan]

when competition becomes bush league

even KD becomes Gangsta.

[tpols]

When defenses aren't handicapped by the 3 second rule GOAT shooters dominate.

Melo looked a lot better under those fair rules too.

[red1]

lanky bastard is unguardable


kobe said it too cant really stop him from scoring

[3ba11]

Easily. We wouldn’t have won in 2010, 2016, and 2021 without him


Remove any player from the 92' Dream Team and the margin of win doesn't change

Otoh, the brand of ball that came after Jordan is so bad that we can't easily win with a massive talent advantage and need 1 guy to "put us over the top"?

pathetic... :kobe:

[1987_Lakers]

MJ shit the bed in the Olympics, was outplayed by Barkley.

[WhiteKyrie]

Shit the bed? How? :oldlol: he was unanimously considered the teams best player. Barkley dominating scoring doesn’t remotely change that and even then Jordan’s numbers weren’t bad. He was busy golfing and cake walking opponents

[j3lademaster]

MJ shit the bed in the Olympics, was outplayed by Barkley.Olympics wasn’t real competition back then.

[RRR3]

Shit the bed? How? :oldlol: he was unanimously considered the teams best player. Barkley dominating scoring doesn’t remotely change that and even then Jordan’s numbers weren’t bad. He was busy golfing and cake walking opponents
49 TS% against radio repair men and car mechanics is bad sorry.

[gengiskhan]

MJ shit the bed in the Olympics, was outplayed by Barkley.

Really!

An amateur 21 YO MJ tore a new a-hole to the rest of the world in Olympics.

only LBJ and Kobe shyte in the bed in 2004.

Kobe was so anxiety filled, he did not even list himself for 2004 Olympics.

As he was busy raping girl in 2004 in colorado hotel room.

[StrongLurk]

KD is one, Carmelo/Lebron are 2/3.

[gengiskhan]

KD is one, Carmelo/Lebron are 2/3.

MJ is NUMBERO UNO.

Won as AMATEUR.

Won as PROFESSIONAL.

EWING was suppose to be the Best of 1984 Team USA. MJ overachieved.

1992 Dream Team is the GOATest of them all. In that least, MJ won as GOAT of the GOATest team ever.

LeBronze should never ever be mentioned in history books next to Olympics MJ.

LeBronze record is 2-0-1. even 3-0-1 aint helping his cause. because it can never be 2-1-0 or 3-1-0

Because of the lack of SILVER medal. LeBronze failed to qualify to GOLD medal game.

Even 18 YO Freshman NCAA MJ would've qualified for 2004 GOLD medal game. most probably loose. but atlease walk away with SILVER medal.

[RRR3]

:mad:
MJ put up 49 TS% against repairmen and taxi drivers :oldlol:

Luckily Big Bad Barkley was there to save the day :applause:

[1987_Lakers]

Barkley was the best player in the '96 Olympics too. I believe KD, LeBron, Barkley, & Carmelo have to be top 4 in terms of GOAT Olympic players.

Which is why I believe the 2012 team USA squad might be the best team this country ever put out there. KD & Carmelo with Fiba rules along with peak LeBron is pretty much unstoppable.

The 2008 redeem team gets kinda overrated. They did not dominate like the 2012 squad.

[tpols]

Kobe saving USA from their bronze medal status has to be up there.

Durant totally carried them in the last Olympics as well when they barely beat France.

nope!

Amateur 1984 MJ did one better.

1980 Olympic Games Men's Basketball!

GOLD = Yugoslavia
SILVER = Italy
BRONZE= Soviet Union.

Team USA fail to even medal! :lol

1984 MJ brings them back all the way to 1984 GOLD!.

Something Kobe or LBJ or KD cannot even dream of.

MJ was HELPLESS without NBA rules :roll:

[BurningHammer]

It was Melo. KD has already surpassed him. He keeps coming back and carrying the team to golds in multiple Olympic tournaments when other superstars aren't. :applause:

That team is super young and also features Patrick Ewing, Chris Mullin, Sam Perkins, Wayman Tisdale, Alvin Robertson and Jon Koncak. I haven't heard much of this Team USA as the Soviet team and then the Dream Team have completely overshadowed it.

1980? The year the Olympics were held in Moscow and the United States boycotted it?

Olympics are lower level basketball but it's the biggest event for these pros to represent their country.

MJ was a joke in the Olympics. Barkley was the star of the dream team.

Nobody cares about 1984 when NBA players weren't even allowed to play. It was a joke.

Meanwhile Kobe restored America to its former glory after years of humiliation in 2008.

I put respect on that.

Olympics rules seem less partisan and more fair. They're not nearly as WWE as the NBA.

I caution all basketball fans away from a strict focus on Individual Offense. Team offense, Individual defense, Team defense are just as important.

TO and TD is where Durant underperforms. You have to watch the games to examine performance in these areas as little of it is captured in stats.

[gengiskhan]

1980? The year the Olympics were held in Moscow and the United States boycotted it?

Yes.

Team USA Boycotted it because MJ was still 17 YO honing his skills.

Team USA was shyte scared of Team USSR back in the days.

They had to wait for MJ to get going til 1984.

[gengiskhan]

You Know it!

1988 Olympics. NO MJ means not just NO GOLD but also NO FINALS.

1988 Team USA NO MJ wet the diapers again and pulled LeBronze with D'Rob and Manning.

MJ had to literally rescue Team USA not once but Twice!...............in 1992.

1984 MJ got them out of the wilderness and turned Team USA into World beaters and no longer boycotting, hiding beaches against Team USSR and their dominance!

1988 NO MJ Team USA choked to Team USSR. USSR won GOLD again!. Beating USA.

NO MJ means NO FINALS means NOT EVEN SILVER and only LeBronze again!.


Good call.

The only blot on that 12 squad was the final game. Coach k pulling the starters only up by 6 with like a minute to go was laughable. Good thing cp3 buried 2 clutch 3s

[tpols]

Yes.

:biggums:

You realize the USA boycotted everything for those Olympics right? Not just basketball. It had nothing to do with MJ.



The 1980 Summer Olympics boycott was the largest boycott in Olympic history and one part of a number of actions initiated by the United States to protest against the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.[1]


What in the **** are you even going on about? This has got to be one of the most twisted Jordan glazing talk points I've ever seen.

It's kind of making everybody realize how manufactured and protected his "legend" was.

Kobe is the true GOAT. The evolution.

Are you ****ing retarded? The USA boycotted because MJ was 17?


65 total countries including the USA boycotted. How are you so clueless? This is an epic embarrassment.

You can’t talk your way out of this one. You actually thought USA participated in the ‘80 Olympics.

Hold this L.

KD's range is just inside the three so the international three is like a FT for him

He obviously has range from beyond the NBA three but his total comfort zone is about 22 feet, or the international line.. He wins the 2021 title over Giannis with the international line

[gengiskhan]

You can’t talk your way out of this one. You actually thought USA participated in the ‘80 Olympics.

Hold this L.

I know soviets boycotted 1984 LA olympics.

I know USA boycotted 1980 Moscow olympics.

all that Cold War BS.

But MJ still gave them the lost mojo. by winning GOLD.

the reality is USSR won GOLD 1980 and 1988. USA automatically lost by not participating 1980 olympics. Its on US and not on USSR.

1984 MJ and 1992 MJ legitimized and showd USA Bball domination over the world.

2004 Rapist missed 2004 Olympics deliberately because he was busy raping girls.

2004 Rapist had 3 NBA rings and was still scared of Argentina hence did not participated deliberately.

And this was your reason why:

[1987_Lakers]

I know soviets boycotted 1984 LA olympics. .

So the Soviets along with 13 other countries boycotted the '84 Olympics, making MJ's path to Gold much easier.

Weak competition.

Story of MJ's career.
