    I agree. He's a very very good role player. Which every great team needs.

    They just showed a random clip of Edwards dribbling, doing nothing substantial. Gotta be a mistake by HCP. :biglaugh:

    LeBron probably ahead of the MVP race

    But also in that race: Jokic, Wenbenyama

    Teams are tanking the Olympics now, shutting down healthy players?

    both the men's and women's 3x3 teams are now 0-3 with losses again today. WTF! Hopefully it's a wake up call to get WNBA and NBA players on our teams.
    but 3x3 basketball in the Olympics is pretty dumb IMO. get rid of it.

    We have WNBA and (Ex-NBA) players on our teams.

    One of the women is an Oregonian that plays for the LA Sparks

    Jimmer Fredette is on the men’s team

    OK.
    Correction - Can we get good WNBA players and current NBA players on our teams? Both teams going 0-3 is ridiculous.

    It also looks like Cameron Brink (LA Sparks) is not playing due to injury.

    The problem with that is that in order to qualify for the Olympics, the players have to play in qualifying tournaments, and NBA players probably aren't available at those times. It's different for the WNBA because their season is so condensed.

    Just because the US doesn't win at it doesn't make it invalid...
