Team USA Summer Olympics Thread

Post by Q-is-here »

Team USA training camp is about to begin in Vegas to start getting ready for the Olympics. In an opening Q&A session with reporters, Ant boldly proclaimed that he plans on being the #1 option for Team USA (which now includes LeBron, Curry, Durant, and Embiid) and that the other guys will need to fit their games around him. What an opening statement!

Only Ant can pull this off without creating waves with his team mates, as he said it matter-of-factly and with a smile on his face. Fun times!

Yeah, his charisma is otherworldly. Act goofy and nonchalantly, then you can have fun like that without causing those waves you mentioned. Even if there is some truth to it.

Ant also was asked who will be the Alpha if things are on the line, to which he answered something like, "KD, he better be. That's what I came to see".

Love it. So he's the #1 option whether they start him or not. Love it! Rather than getting butt-hurt about coming off the bench, he just embraces the opportunity and takes control of the game.

No one is better at balancing supreme confidence with team comity than Anthony Edwards.

And that’s a big reason why he’s special.
