He was unstoppable. The “2nd” unit Kerr used today was nice.

First time (in this thread), longtime.
Just curious if anybody else noticed that AARP baller on the US team with the yuge yarmulke-like barren spot on the back of his head. I think that altar kocker has a future in the Big3 league. Just my 3 cents’.

He and Melo are arguably the best scoring duo to ever play on a USA National Team. They could score from anywhere on the floor and do it almost effortlessly. Jordan and Kobe were great scorers, but Melo and KD have a style built for FIBA.
Larry Brown would have a Gold if he played Melo and LeBron in 2004.

Really interesting matchup between Canada and France tomorrow, as there teams really contrast each other.
France has great bigs, questionable guard play, and has to go big with Wemby+Gobert.
Canada's strength is it guards (especially defensively). They have no bigs, and tends to want to play small.
Problem for Canada is its bigs which is a rotation of Dwight Powell, Kelly Olynyk, Trey Lyles and Khem Birch, At times they have played none on the floor.
Arguably no team has the level of defensive ability from its guards as Canada does ( SGA, Dort, Brooks) and they have managed to disrupt players of all sizes. Brooks, and Dort at times, did a good job of guarding / disrupting Wemby in their exhibition matchup, but I'm concerned Wemby is going to figure it out and go off huge,
Jamal Murray who has been a scoring guard off the bench, has struggled -- he probably needs to go off.
Canada has got a tough schedule to date (Spain, Greece, Australia, and now France), but it also got very lucky to avoid the US Side of the bracket.
