I want the same baskets in the NBA. When players touch anything other than nets, it sounds like they are throwing bricks.
2024 Summer Olympics (Paris)

As an aside, how random that India and Pakistan are good at javelin. Of all the things. Why?
James walked like nobody's business. 
Edit: It was a double dribble.

Excited for Ngamba.
Its just essentially just these two guys really. India had another guy this time who barely hit 80m in the qualification round.
Not really watched basketball before, but noticed they actually stopped the clock while referees confer why don't they do that for football VAR?
I think it's the same in most sports, hockey as well. Football is the odd one out
It is fact.
Unrelated, if our women win gold it would be kinda funny and shameful on the men. Most olympic medals of all yet never gold - the women didn't even qualify until Sydney, this is their first ever medal
Women > men confirmed
Because Football has added time and Basketball doesn't.
Because football doesn't stop the clock for anything. US sports all have a total playtime, so clock stops for every (bigger) stoppage
This is where you would expect Jokic to dominate for Serbia to have a chance, but it's the others who are carrying him. Kinda amazing when you see these type of games
It is fact.

Since France beat the brakes off Italy, I won't argue.
Serbs bottled this completely in the 4th
21-8 for the U.S. in the 4th quarter.
Bit unfair. The US has such a big talented squad to pick from, a lot fresher at this point in the game, Jokic at 4 fouls...
Curry so clutch
Don’t follow basketball, but my son wanted to watch it, but quite likening it.
USA turned that around then
Bogdanovic showing the ref how good he is at drawing an air circle.
Yeah France are winning gold
You have a good kid, sure you're a proud dad.
Joker failing Serbia honestly
The last dance for curry and Lebron
Another dodgy boxing decision
Wow that were 13 points ahead after 3 quarters. They'll be gutted to let it slip
Why didn't they foul earlier?
Or Poland.
That was fun, good game.
Is that a triple double for Bron
Perhaps in the final USA could play defence for more than one quarter
When Steph is playing like that, defense is kind of secondary.
God damn it! So close for Serbia, just too much offensive firepower for the US. That Durant two at the end was a dagger.
Steph does Steph stuff.
His second I believe , from three olympics he's played in. Not bad.
What are you doing Steph brother
US underestimated the game a bit, probably due to the relatively easy victory in the group stage. It was the 4th quarter that we saw what that team could really do. Of course you have to mention that Djokic was on 4 fouls and Serbia simply do not have the depth of usa. Still they played out if their skin for 3 quarters it was pretty unbelievable.
Nah, France will win. As I said, they're the best team in the world when they play their best. That's how they won in Tokyo, that's how they looked untouchable going into the WC. When they're healthy and locked in they play like mutants, best defence in the sport, and it makes them unbeatable.
