    They are so afraid of losing so they stacked the deck this time.

    This is actually very accurate

    embiid has no shame either. trying to latch on for a free win, and just wants to hang out with his peers and feel cool.



    kid is a bitch.

    I really can't get over how pathetic it is that the US recruited Embiid.

    It's so pathetic loser behaviour. The US has a stacked team and is winning by 20+ points on average and they had to steal a black man from Africa, because they were afraid of losing?

    It's utterly weak and pathetic and any olympic medal will be tainted for it.

    Embiid is a net negative. He's the one who begged to be on team USA. They quite literally do not need him and would be a better team without him

    Embiid is huge and is a good rebound and defender. He takes away the US main weakness in FIBA ball which is being undersized.

    Without Embiid, the US would lose against Serbia every time.

    Probably will stay home. Embiid doesn't seem as the ambitious or patriotic type. He won once, probably good enough.

    The decision likely came down to the reality that he may never win an NBA championship.

    He never won in college. Sure, he's won a state championship in HS, but not the national HS championship. With his knees, who knows if this would be his last chance at making a US Olympic team. He wouldn't have won gold with Cameroon.

    He made the decision based on the likelihood that this would be his only chance to actually win the ultimate prize for once in his life. I don't blame him.

    What's even worse is Kerr barely played him certain games after he committed to the US. Why not let him play fully with his home country.
