🏀 Hoos Playing Overseas 2023 - 2024

[haney]

Much better time zone for US-based fans to actually care, too. Last Olympics was in Asia, wasn’t it? Plus this most recent, FIBA, too.

I was moderately excited about that Canada game, but then I saw it was on at 430am, and I wasn’t that excited.

And there it is bring on the Redeem Team pt. Deux

Is lebron going to have a moon in his commitment edit?

Every time we lose in the World Cup (or former world championship) people forget this is the norm. 2010 and 2014 were exceptions when we had stars like KD and Steph playing. But outside of that back to back we’ve only won it one other time since NBA players began participating in international play. USA basketball only cares about doing well enough at the World Cup to lock in an Olympic spot. Team USA sending a B (or C in this case?) team and coming somewhere between 3rd and 8th is the normal result

Having an Olympic experience in Paris seems like it would be a nice draw for these guys as well. Of recent Olympic host cites, probably only Rio would be more fun.

I realize all these guys can afford to go anywhere and do almost anything they want, but Olympics in Paris sounds freaking incredible.

[Hoos9412]

Plus outside of fun the games being in Paris will be good for business for most of the guys. We saw basically full participation for London 2012. Everyone K wanted that was healthy went. Will be surprised if we don’t see something similar for Paris 2024

Plus isn’t Lebron and some of that crew big red wine snobs? Maybe they’ll practice in Bordeaux. Buy a vineyard or something

[BDragon]

Oh I have no doubt they will rent out a chateau for the 3 weeks they are there similar to how they took out a yacht for Rio.

Fresh’s post in the fart thread reminded me that we have a bunch of guys playing in the Euro League this year:

• Dev - Milano
• Tobey - the Serbian team
• Mike Scott - team in the burbs of Lyon
• Guy - Pitino’s team (Panathanikos)
• Darius Thompson - team in Istanbul

I haven’t seen where Shayok is playing, if anywhere. He was in the G-league this past year.

Nice. BVP and Darion both in Europe, too. Germany and Italy, respectively. We should figure out everyone at some point, but I was just listing the Euro League guys. Jazz had to explain that whole structure to me slowly several times before I understood.

[haney]

Jayden is playing in Kortrijk Belgium, which is where the Battle of the Golden Spurs took place, which I vaguely remember. Not to be confused with the Battle of the Golden Corral, from a few years back, which I remember vividly.

Awesome! Great resource. Waiting on Diakite and Justin Anderson announcements… Kihei too.

Marial Shayok - The NBA G League

p.s. - Look at his shooting splits in G League last year - 57/50/92 … bucket.
