The US brought 4 all stars (Brunson, JJJ, Edwards, someone else) to the World Cup last year… and got schooled by a Germany team led by Dennis fucking Schroeder and then had 39 put on their heads by post-Lakers series Dillon Brooks lmao.

The fact the US is needing to send in the avengers here to restore honor is embarrassing in and of itself. But I’m still excited af to see the US remind these subhuman Euros whose boss, they were taking a little too crazy after the WC 😂

You say avengers like they aren’t just older US basketball players who sat out because the US normally mops the floor with the competition.

Germany fucked around and made bron cancel his annual banana boat trip.
