Durant doesn't miss this three after just missing one. USA up by 1.

Suns are getting a glimpse of how Durant should be used as a shooter.

He was a spot up shooter and shot blocker for GS when they won Championships with him. People forget how he shut down LeBron in the playoffs at the end of games when LeBron tried to take him one on one.

I lost count with KD hitting another three. I think he is 8 for 9?

The Olympics shows team play can compete with a team of stars.

I think there is a lesson to be learned by NBA teams.

I wonder why Conditt is not in the NBA.

True. Many teams think they can win on talent alone. When they mix in hustle and pace, they become elite!

Barring injury, LeBron looks like he could easily play two more seasons in the NBA.

Booker sneaks in that basket and gets a plus 1.

The way he looks today, he might be able to play five more seasons. I wouldn't be shocked if he could play to age 50.

When guys dribble behind the backboard, they are looking to pass. I told the kids I coached, just pretend it's a rebound and block out the guy you are guarding. IDK how many steals we got that way. I always marvel NBA guys don't do that. They draw into the guy with the ball and open up passing lanes for the dribbler.

The Suns don't need another point guard, but I like the way Jose Alvarado plays. He is a pest, much like Alex Caruso.

Book and KD need to talk up Conditt after the game. Take him out for some drinks, etc. LOL!

Also, center Romero is impressive for Puerto Rico. A lot of FIBA players could be good role players in the NBA.
