    at players like Harrell and Randle dropping out though

    When you pretty much have no shot at making the actual Olympic roster you can't big time the WC. There's players in soccer that get emotional from getting a single call-up for a meaningless friendly, tbh.

    I don't think it has anything to do with some anti-Pop movement. Some of y'all forget that this was the norm until 2002 and 2004 happened. Then all the top players started going to all compe ions to redeem Team USA. The team right after 2004 was even called the Redeem Team IIRC.

    The top players are starting to get complacent again. They'll be there for the 2020 Olympics but give it a few more cycles and top players will sit out even the Olympics just like they did in 2004. It'll take another ass whooping for them to start taking it seriously again.
    There’s a consistent 16 year cycle.

    Too bad Leonard isn't playing. It would've been a prime opportunity for him to mend fences with Pop.

    Imo it’s great opportunities for these young kids to absorb some of Pop’s knowledge, and total let down when they go back to their dumb coaches

    Did this guy really ask Pop for a definition of the word "excellence"?

    Bro, buy a dictionary and quit your job.

    It baffles me how these reporters never have thoughtful questions or knowing it’s Pop they just ask these to get a rise out of him?

    Full first day of camp Pop interview from Monday

    Tim Duncan doesn't know a lick about coaching.I don't even know why i hired him.

    Pop quote at the 6:10 mark.

    Huge props to Brian Windhorst for making it through the entire interview standing up.

    Team USA is going to win the gold. All of the en led Prima Donnas stayed home, and these guys will be hungry and ready to win when Pop gets finished with training camp and exhibitions. The players will hear and read nothing but that the best players stayed home and the team probably won't win from the media, and it will ing piss them off and motivate them, and play right into Pop's wheelhouse and bunker 'us against the world' mentality.

    What a slick pass in that sequence. White seems to be always relaxed, gonna be great to see him keep getting better.

    van gundy was gushing over derrick yesterday; called him the best player of either squad for the first day and arguably on the second, as well.
