Carmelo Anthony in his post-game interview said something interesting, “I know America can be great again.”

I expect you, or someone with the facts, to produce evidence detailing how the Olympic basketball team was racially selected.
Not that it matters...much. So long as the players chosen produce a gold medal, is it important the melanin content of their skin and the haplo grouping they hail from?

LOL, The White Shadow.
Remember on SNL, they did a parody called “The Black Shadow” will Bill Russell as the coach who was always getting into trouble, and his white players always bailing him out.

In the last NINE olympics, all eight finalists in the 400m dash have been West African.
The last nine Nobel prizes in Chemistry, Medicine, and Physics have gone to Europeans or East Asians.
Basketball is not a sport where Europeans excel at the top level.
So what?

I was accused of being a racist by a lib a few years back.
Why?
Because I said I liked hockey.
True story.

My son had the same reaction to my watching an ancient NBA game between the Celtics and the Lakers, probably from the 1970’s. He thought it was college ball. :=)

West Point graduate and former Army officer, so he has credibility.

I think the Serbians, Lithuanians, Spaniards, and other Europeans playing / who have played in the NBA would disagree.
To: God luvs America
What point. Present one that you can have proven and we can go from there. Preoccupation with race is well past tiresome and is full into moronic territory.
As for "Academy Awards", who cares. Self absorbed jackasses stroking other self absorbed jackasses. Hollyweird means nothing to me, or to most sentient beings.

White guys on the team would have signaled “white privilege” and “cultural appropriation”.

but it still doesn't make it right that we can send a bunch of professionals to represent us at the Olympic games. I'm with you on this one.

Basketball keeps them off the streets and out of trouble. Most of the time. Sometimes.
