On the recent episode of No Cap Room podcast, Yahoo Sports senior NBA reporter Jake Fischer and Yahoo Sports senior NBA writer Dan Devine discuss Team USA’s gold medal win in men’s basketball, led by stars like LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Steph Curry.
Steph Curry finally had his moment on the international stage, scoring 60 points in the final two games of the tournament to secure the victory for Team USA over France. However, Jayson Tatum’s limited playing time and struggles to fit in Steve Kerr’s offense raised questions about his role in the team and his future in the league.
French player Victor Wembanyama expressed concerns about facing future opponents in the NBA and internationally after the loss to Team USA. The hosts also discussed the Emirates NBA Cup, formerly known as the NBA In-Season Tournament, and shared their thoughts on how the event could be improved in the upcoming season.
In addition, Jake and Dan revisited their preseason predictions from a previous podcast episode and analyzed their accuracy. The episode also features a discussion on potential collaborations between Wembanyama and Chris Paul in San Antonio.
