00:00Can you imagine just having to deal with LeBron and AD and Curry and, you know, the likes?

00:11I mean, it's just, it's insane who they have on this team on the floor at the same time.

00:17Even Embiid, like, are you kidding me?

00:20How do you deal with that?

00:21Well, you deal with that with the fact that matter is, is that you're worried about the

00:27One, can a team get to USA in an up and down game because they're not the most athletic

00:32team, right?

00:33When a team like Canada, with those guards, with SGA, will they, will they push the pace

00:39a little bit, Pharrell?

00:40It's something that you have to think about when you are playing against the USA is, can

00:45they play a full court game?

00:47The teams try to run them out of the gym.

00:49Simply put, if the USA plays a way to keep a low Pharrell, it's a gold medal.

00:53But don't think, folks, this is like, you know, the dream team that's going to go beat

00:57teams by 40, 50 points.

00:59It's just that, that international game has left, let's be honest, for all the international,

01:06they've caught up to us and they're still level.

01:09So I think that's something to look at a little bit as well as the game is catching up, but

01:14they still should be the favorites to win the gold.

01:15Coach, if they lose, uh, that would be a gigantic failure and story.

01:22I think it's going to be a bigger story if they lose than if they win.
