I just don't see the point of an MVP at the olympics... But yeah, he probably deserved it.

He lead the team in Points assists and rebounds in the tournament .. They haven't always had
a MVP in the Olympics but James probably said I better get a trophy or I am not going .

Enough hasn't been made of the loss to Brazil last year .. That still bothers to me as to why ? When experts kept saying
we will medal that loss was always in the back of my mind ..

Ex-Raptors dominated the Olympics....

The Scottie Barnes slander trading keeps on a chugging.

Jalen Suggs makes the team but not Scottie. Unbelievable. I'm taking Scottie over Paolo easily as well. I'd also take Scottie over Chet.

Meh. Looking at that list, Cooper Flagg is Cooper Flagg. The three guys you mentioned are all part of a winning program.

It's all about winning. If the Raps starts winning, Scottie would be in the discussion. DeRozan and Lowry were both selected to represent the US in 2016 Olympics.

Why the hell should their NBA teams success have any bearing at all?

It's team USA. Scottie playing for the Raptors does not make him a worse player than Suggs.

Should France have turned down Wemby because his NBA team sucks?

Orlando was also complete shit until this past season.

If Scottie played for any team other than the Raps they'd have him starting lol. It's like when OG went to the Knicks and all of a sudden he's the greatest think to walk the earth...until he got injured.

Again, Lowry and DeRozan were both selected to play for the US Olympic team in 2016.

Scottie not being "on the early list" to play for the USA in 2028 has nothing to do with the Raptors.

Lowry and DeRozan were never considered superstars or up and coming ones. I mean Paolo being there and Scottie isn't will always stir up a debate.

I was just about to say the same thing ..

Man, it's wild to think about how we used to just be happy making it that far. Now we're out here going 3-0 against teams like Brazil, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic. Feels good to see us stepping up like this, especially in the U18.
