how can it be a clear 6 both games when AD hardly played against serbia. Embiid started every game and the serbia game he played a bulk of the minutes so its not a clear 6 with AD
38:27 Calm down Bill
Booker had never been freed from his confines.
Toronto, Denver and Milwaukee winning recently + the play-in made it so all the franchises feel they got a chance. This made Lakers and Warriors unable to make any trades. No one wants to help them, no one feels it makes sense, they all want to win now.
Frisky France 🇫🇷 😂
dudes, noah eagles and dwayne wade are the two most annoying commentators on the planet. it was a shit show of lebron glazing.
Doc unabashedly wishing bad fortune on Team Greece so Giannis can report back to training camp already was amusing
Absolutely 💯
It's not Blake's Fault It's not Blake's Fault It's not Blake's Fault 😮😮😮😮😊
Simmons did not mention that Embid was a necessary match to Jokic and Anthony Davies was needed by the team to possibly win this game against France — until Steph started shooting threes (the first is a "calm down" triple; the second was a "Have no fear, I am here;" the third was a pent-off relief for his teammate and America; the fourth was a entitlement moment granted to Steph — a WOW moment and a curtain call bow with "Night! Night!).
Doc is a great basketball mind! Thanks Bill
Imagine Magic, Bird, Dr. J doing those idiotic facial gestures, angrily yelling at the crowd, etc.. Grow up nba kids esp Curry!
Would any NBA GM take Booker over Tatum?… I say no…Kerr screwed him
Listen to Doc’s voice and then explain how he was hired as a broadcaster. Dude has a horrific speaking voice.
no disrespect but doc rivers might be a better podcaster than coach… my guy looks happy
Incredible Steph moment. My fav of his career moments in no order:
– Game 4 2022 NBA Finals
– OKC 2OT Double Banger
– Game 6 2018 against Houston
– 2024 Olympics "Golden Dagger"
Next Olympics have Draymond coach.
Wait wait wait. Bill Simmons and Doc are back on speaking terms? What happened?
How can you be the MVP when you play for the most stacked team and don't show up to the only two games that matters? If it ain't Curry it should've been Jokic.
shows how 'great' of a coach Doc is…. 'put a guard on lebron….' (referencing how to stop the LBJ x Chef PnR) He'll just back that lil dude down lmaoooo.. he wont give up the ball in that situation and steph will tell him to take that guard down to the block/high post and operate from there…
AD doesn’t play well against Jokic. That is the hurdle he has to overcome.
Surprised Doc is on this show, Simmons used to trash him relentlessly during his Celtics days
They all went there for a free summer holiday in France, but they really did play some fun basketball. Think they expected a cakewalk but had tough semi and finals. Congrats to all those guys for representing well.
Kd will go down historically like Barkley
So glad Devin Booker is getting some press. He was consistently great all the way thru.
I’d like to hear from anyone but Doc rivers on this…
Giannis watching his coach gas up team USA 😧
Steph is one in a billion! Kd smooth operator, and bron is mad scientist!gg❤
Embed is not treated well by us but he came through for us! Booker was great Ant-man did well but JT was done so wrong by Kerr and it will never be forgotten but at the end of the day, all that will be remembered is Stephen Curry! The real G.O.A.T. ! Gg❤
Man Lebron is 40% in the finals so much for the greatest career 😅. He had the ball the most and played the most minutes / stat padding
Very objective aloha coach Mundo
yes imagine if LeBalco Blames would just be a point guard…then perhaps he'd be a 'pass first player' instead…he stat pads and bullies to the rim to get easy buckets and flops and whines and pouts like an effeminate eunuch
Curry goat shooter
Bill looks like he's been eating good! xD
Curry and James to the Suns. Let them all retire with 4 straight titles
Everyone says lebron was the man..tell the rest of the world they were wrong like me to pick curry
Booker got way too much clock wow!!! They didn’t want Antman to take over and show up the old guys!🎉🎉🎉🎉
Not a fan of Book before this Olympic run but after this he made me a fan. Truly arguably the best 2 in the world right now. Hopefully this translate well into the NBA next season.
What's up with Bill's round jawline?
What can Lyles say now?
Devin booker being a good fit makes sense considering his college experience.
Bill simmons doesn’t look like a real person, looking at his face creeps me out ngl. The plastic face, pure blue eyes and white hair is scary man
Could it be⁉ …after signing Jaylen Brown & Jason Tatum to two {2} of the largest contracts in NBA history & winning 18th🏆, Brad Stevens & ‘new’ ownership group didn’t want to risk injury to either of them @ Olympics; Boston's @ the precipice of 19th🏆 So, it's possible that it's a situation their own doing
