I think this will resonate for foreseeable future like the Raptors championship run. Soccer viewership, interest, and participation will rise even more so.
Our men's program specifically since we have so much NBA talent, completely dropped the ball. It would have been huge for basketball in this country. Makes me sad :(
I hadn't been born yet, but I imagine no one expected to learn about aliens this way.

Source From Marc Stein's Newsletter "The Stein Line" - Pop's likely USAB successor: Steve Kerr
Full Quote:
> Golden State's Steve Kerr has emerged as a favorite to succeed San Antonio's Gregg Popovich as head coach for the USA Basketball senior men's national team, league sources say.
> Miami's Erik Spoelstra is another natural candidate for the position, sources say, but prior experience on the national team coaching staff, given the vagaries of the international game, is believed to be a key prerequisite in the search led by new USA Basketball executive director Grant Hill.
> Kerr was an assistant under Popovich on the Olympic team that overcame a loss to France in its opener in Tokyo to win the United States' fourth successive gold medal in men's basketball. Kerr also coached alongside Popovich at the 2019 FIBA World Cup in China, where a team weakened by the absence of numerous star players posted the worst showing (seventh) for a USAB team since NBA players were allowed to start playing Olympic basketball at the Barcelona Olympics in 1992. Spoelstra coached the USAB's select team in last summerโs mini-camp but was not on the bench with the full senior squad.
> In a subsequent interview with my longtime Bay Area colleague Tim Kawakami of The Athletic, Kerr affirmed his interest in taking over for Popovich.
> "Of course I'd be interested,' Kerr told Kawakami. "I mean, who wouldn't be?
The woman has a weight of 140 pounds and is 5 foot 8 height.
She knows the basics of basketball beforehand
Can she succeed with her training from Michael Jordan?
>USA Basketball men's national team managing director Jerry Colangelo on Zach LaVine's Olympic selection: "He almost jumped through the phone he was so excited about the opportunity. And I love that."
With those hops, he's jumping through anything lol

End of a big era for Spain. I would assume Pau is done too. Looks like Rudy Fernandez, Sergio Rodriguez, and Ricky Rubio will lead the new era of Spanish players like Usman Garuba and the Hernangomez's. Will be interesting to see how they progress.
