That's part of my frustration with Luka/Slovenia, honestly. These national teams are getting more and more stacked each year. Luka could be the best player in any one of these tournaments and they still really wouldn't have a chance. It's starting to feel like risking injury just to throw his summer/recovery/developmental time into the dirt.
I realize I wouldn't feel that way if I was Slovenian.
Team USA Roster:
Curry/Haliburton
Edwards/Booker/Holiday
Durant/Tatum/Kawhi
Lebron/AD
Embiid/Adebayo
They are by far the favorites.
14x All-Star, 12x all-NBA, 1x MVP, 1x Finals MVP, 1 NBA Championship: Dirk Nowitzki, the man, the myth, the legend.
