Olympic basketball is supposed to be fun. But right now, I’m not really having fun.
It’s fun fan-casting a dream team of players for Team USA, as is wondering if Anthony Edwards or Devin Booker should start or what the ideal big rotation is. It’s a tradition to hear that Kawhi Leonard is too injured to play, write articles about cryptic posts on social media about who got snubbed, if they’re mad about it, or if they hate their teammates now and if it’s actually Grant Hill’s fault.
It’s all in good fun, but none of it is about basketball.
