On paper, the armada that Team USA will send to the Olympic Games is absolutely terrifying.
But not all American observers are particularly convinced… A famous polemicist in particular did not mince his words on the subject.
Humiliated at the last World Cup with a sad fourth place, Team USA wants to set the record straight at the next Olympic Games.
Title holders, the American selection will travel to France with a powerful squad. Kawhi Leonard is the latest player to join a pretty staggering list of superstars .
Among the leading figures on the roster, we will find LeBron James , Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry .
If that, it’s not an all-time team… Paradoxically, not everyone is convinced by its potential in the US.
The famous polemicist Colin Cowherd, for example, did not spare the squad led by Steve Kerr, when comparing it to the legendary 1992 Dream Team. Almost everyone took the price.
Colin Cowherd destroys the Team USA armada for Paris 2024
If you take LeBron James and Stephen Curry off this roster… sweet Jesus.
am Adebayo has only scored more than 20 points per game once in his career.
On the Dream Team, David Robinson was averaging over 23 points per game without having a three-point shot. (…)
Do you think I’m wrong? Look back a little. I have the best point guard in history (Magic) and the greatest leader with MJ, you have Tyrese Haliburton.
When we look back, American basketball culture is in tatters.
The AAU culture, our stars at home… The best players in the league currently are all internationals. The next first draft pick will probably be a French guard.
We will appreciate the little nod to the 2024 vintage which promises to be very attractive on the French side, but the analysis is merciless.
This has been becoming more and more apparent for months and even years: the rest of the world is gradually slipping away from the United States
The pool of FIBA-certified players has never been so strong and extensive, while US stars are increasingly criticized for their performances and/or their attitude.
Despite everything, few American Internet users support Cowherd in his XXL rant.

I don’t understand how people like that get court time with statements each more horrible than the last.
Even if Colin Cowherd is sounding the alarm, Team USA remains the huge favorite for the 2024 Olympic Games.
Because the fact is that LeBron James and Stephen Curry will be at the helm and they will not be alone. Good luck bringing down such a monster.
