More entertaining than the All Star Game.
Way more!!!!
The difference is they play defense
By far
💯
They have to earn the spot
Brunsons pace is probably the best part of his game. You cant speed him up or make him do anything he doesn't want to do. Very calculated dribble game and shifty as hell. Love his game.
dallas really needed to keep him. he's probably the only other guard in the league that can pace like luka and keep that style of offense going that smoothly.
And he gon put a bucket on a mf
@@thedudeofficial69it hurts we lost him.
@@Martyrdomer Awww time will heal those wounds. BUT when he BUSSES that ass AGAIN when the Kicks play Dallas those wounds will come right back. Y'all were talking all that when y'all got Porzingis and SWORE y'all fleeced the Knicks BUT look at them now🤷🏾♂. Cuban dropped the ball on Brunson didn't wanna cough up what $55 mill 😆😂🤣.
@@wearegodswithamnesia 60 21 10 nigga Luka is the GOAT against the New York flukerbockers
Brunson is a perfect guard, runs the offence, takes nothing away from teammates, always step up when needed.
Yeah i love the way he passes first but also takes all his open shots
and he rarely turns over the ball most of the time which is hella important at the FIBA point guard position
Yeah he’s nice fr
agreed
If only he wasnt a cone on D
not a NY fan but damn you gotta respect Jalen game, man is really cold.
Fr tho
Don't gotta be a fan of the team to respect game
@@dsg3053exactly lmao like who cares if you're not a fan but respects his game?😂
Facts
This not enough to win a gold
Crazy to see Brunson, Hart, and Bridges from Villanova all playing in the World Cup!
World cup
fiba world cup not the olympics
Venue wrong here. Nova love is all right tho.
Haven’t had anything to look forward to as a lifelong Knick fan at 24 but damn we finally got a playmaker shooting point guard that coach Tibs actually gives playing time too
We miss him
Once Ant learns how to play off the ball and becomes a better playmaker he’s going to be a perennial all star/ MVP candidate.
yeah for now. i think he is better at SG than trying too much as PG.
Same for Paolo
Yeah I like that he was running point to get his reps in but he’s definitely a problem off the ball.
@@shabazzh9474idk about that one
You don’t watch wolves games do you? When he plays Pg he’s actually a great playmaker, and the offense generally has him off the ball most of the time. Watch basketball before you talk about it
Ant will be the face of the league
I’m wit you on that one bro
Lmao when cause Jayson Tatum better
@@jaquezwhite5342soon
No
I really want him to be!!
Brunson just does Brunson things 🤷🏽♂️ he’s a winner
This team will turn out to be better than people expected.
Team lacks height and experience.
@@ig6894I saw Spoelstra there at the end, assuming they’ll be fine
@@ig6894bruh they have a 7 footer and a 6’10 scratch big man 😂😂 and like 4 6’7 guys lol. Wtf you talking about
@@ig6894 you got the DPOY triple j (6`10), walker Kessler (7`0) bobby portis (6`9) Paolo (6`10) Ingram (6`8) Cameron (6`8) and Mikal also plays way above his height class even Hali and josh hart are considered as taller guards in the nba so idk how much more height do you want? but yeah experience outside of the nba is lacking still you got a lot of older player on this team who are not considered as all stars rather than role-players which means they know their roles they have to play, I think people really underestimate this team.
@@EuTimingI agree I been saying the same thing , I think they all have a chip on their shoulder too because people expect the other National teams to beat them.
Gotta respect all of them for playing hard. This ain't no all-star weekend type ish
I mean it is team USA…
@@ronakpatel7911 n
Internet idiot
Still hurts my soul that Dallas really lost Brunson for nothing at all.
He was never coming back to Dallas
@mrkeenan55 He asked for 3yrs 55mil before his last year with Dallas. Dallas could have traded brunson mid season but flacked on a deal.
It hurts your soul? Thank God you're aware that you have a soul! ❤️🙏🏿✝️ you know what really hurt your soul. if you don't turn to Jesus Chris. to save your soul from your sins! worship Jesus Christ. Not these dudes just because they dribble a basketball. not one of them can save your soul. most of them could care less about your soul!! They need Jesus Christ to save their souls. which is why you need to do what Jesus Christ said and pray for these lost souls preach the gospel Think about that God is so loving God sent Jesus Christ to rescue. Souls that died without Jesus Christ are going to be tormented in hell where they'll be weeping and gnashing of teeth
Not much y’all could of done. JB wanted to be the No.1 option on a team and also his dad is part of the NY coaching staff. Y’all could of offered him the super duper max extreme contract and he still would of left. Oh and yes Jesus is lord and his father is the only true God.
@@livefree316 relax
Brunson is just that good😤
The chemistry, the finess, so oiled team. I like it. 🔥🔥
Damn, Brunson just got married. Ball really is life.
Jalen Brunson is the A-side
He needs to be on the Olympic team
Nah. He is too short.
@@edr.2642 Too short for what?He was a top 20 scorer last season.
@@edr.2642short can be an advantage too just ask Chris Paul or Steve Nash fr
Glad JB on the Knicks. What a guy. It seems like ANT is being talked about as the possible stand out player from team USA this year, with sportscenter type plays, oohs and aahs etc. but be that as it may...JB is gonna be the reason why the team actually wins, with leadership, poise, craftiness, manipulation of the defense, and also scoring.
Nobody is going to be the reason it's a team game multiple people will be a reason
This was fun to watch, it’s like an all star game. Loved seeing my Brooklyn nets out there
Like an all star game but with defense lmao
It's more competitive than the ASG
they need this cam in the nba
Ant and Haliburton duo will be so fun
I thought Haliburton would be running point instead of Ant
It'll be a fun duo, also excited for Brunson+Ant, and Brunson+Haliburton since both have their skillsets compement each other and they can play on and off the ball.
Brandon Ingram looks to have Gotten so much stronger
Ant is looking like a unit too
B.I and Ant will lead the team in scoring !
@@Valley818this is a very true comment! Offense should definitely look to get them goin
@@iceborneuprize3998Ant is 245 lbs
@Valley818 they are far and away the best 3 level scorers and bi is a crazy efficient playmaker. Was 6th in the league last year in assists per 100 possessions
Walker Kessler the hidden gem in this video dude switching on ant and locking him up is a rim protector and gets the open court steal on ant for the easy two. Dude a beast and way better than gobert overrated ass.
the fact the guards are comfortable enough like Bridges/Brunson/Reaves to just switch with Kessler shows how much they trust him guarding 1-5 solidly and not get burned
Could have been teammates, those two
Recency Bias is crazy
@@cooleekbrown1728he already provides near Gobert level defense as a rookie where Gobert makes 200 million
@@ry_an. Gobert secured the bag. Also I don't even think Gobert thought him playing on the same floor as KAT would fix their issues.
Love seeing my Arkansas boys portis and reeves playing together
Knicks finally found one with Brunson
Too bad basketball is 5 on 5. Can't win with 1 good player even if he's elite. Knicks will still be mid tbh
@@IndigoSignature47 posterior analysis : meh
@@dankmemes7599 haha brunson heard what I said 😭😭😭😭😭
Never seen NBA players miss so much they playing better defense here than in the NBA lol
Exactly what I said, they all were struggling to score
From a Mavs fan, don't sleep on Brunson, Knicks got a great player.
comment aged like fine wine
Anthony edwards my favorite player
USA basketball summer practice .. where legends are born 😂
Highway robbery that Brunson wasn’t an all star last season
Him and Arron Gordon
In whose place?
Aaron Gordon?
Politics bs. The NBA punished him for the "tampering".
thx for posting the full scrimmage
Brunson is the Real Deal, and he’s a workaholic when it comes to improving his Game! 👊🏽💯
So happy to see Steve Kerr coaching this team. Grant Hill should have things straight for next year.
This was dope. Need more of this
Facts
As a mavs fan who seen Jalen Brunsons potential and seeing the guy now wow so sad he went to NY because I know what a brilliant player he was becoming 👏 Jalen bravo
Love this up-close camera angle. You see so many things that are completely missing in NBA games
Where would we all be without this ball is life behind the scenes footage man … gotta be thankful 🔥
Brunson is a cold mf mannnn he looks so composed at all times such a great pg
Would’ve liked to see Cade here. I think he needs some reps to make up for not playing much last year. Also, with him playing here, it helps adjust to playing more off-ball going into the season with Ausar and Ivey
apparently he might practice with them
Make no mistake though, Cade will be the PG and have the majority of the usage on the Pistons. Would have loved to see him out there with these guys but he’s getting ready for this season which I respect after such a devastating injury. Putting my bet for MIP right now while the odds are high!
Don’t worry apparently Cade busted everyone’s ass in the scrimmages
Cade vid is up
@@IndigoSignature47cade got invited to the main team he just didnt wanna play
Ant is tuff, he scores with ease 💯
Ong he was bricking💀
They got alot of work to do and so do i in my life best of luck to you guys respect
This team is way better than that 2019 team they sent out for fiba WC. Idk why ppl hating, locked to win gold
Locked in to win Aluminum 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
They can win it definitely not a lock
They don’t understand the FIBA team is not the Olympic team😂
Brunson’s footwork is elite, no joke.
Yup. Defenders have trouble staying with him a lot u can tell
wow... You get to see the maaajor difference in every movement by every player between NBA pros and LA fitness!! It's a pleasure to watch.
I see you walker.. The steal and coast to coast for a dunk! Nice work big man
Anthony Edwards is one of the youngest on the team but he's the best player, he's an elite 2 way player that can score on all 3 levels, i love his game🔥
Paolo is 20
Brandon Ingram is the best player followed by Brunson. Don't be fooled by flash and athleticism. You'll see when the tournament begins. Nobody on that team can stop BI
@@Ben2bwildbro brunson is not better than Anthony Edwards 😂😂😂😂😂
@jackreynolds9235 yeah you don't know basketball. Y'all are too fooled by flash and hype rather than substance. Ant will be better eventually but at this point, Brunson is the better overall player. Ant just jacking up shots doesn't make him the better player lol. I told ppl Brunson is better than Donovan Mitchell last year and most reacted just like you. The playoffs ended that debate lol
@@Ben2bwild we'll see what happens this season bro. All 3 of those players are still young 🏀 And don't forget Ant Man lost to Jokic in the playoffs last year the eventual champion 🏆
Im really excited to see bi play with these dudes. Theres a lot of young talent here . I watch a lot of ball man and besides ant hes the best 3 level scorer here and right th2r2 with halliburton and brunson in playmaking. Anyone who laughs at that didnt see him much last year. Last 2 months of the year he was averaging over 8 assists per game with only 1 turnover a game. Hes probably the 2nd best passer at the forward spot behind lebron right now.
I respect this take but don’t forget Luka. Can’t put B.I over him when it comes to passing forwards
@DavidFnMorgan if bi played pg essentially like Luka does his numbers would be right there . In assists per 100 possessions last year bi was 6th at 27.9 , the highest listed forward and Luka was behind him at 27.5 ..
@@joshromero-burgan9860 can’t argue you that, numbers don’t lie 🫡
You’re absolutely right and people who say otherwise are either casuals or don’t watch BI play for the pels…
@@DavidFnMorganfacts there's level to this Lukas playmaking has helped propel playoff runs while Ingram's playmaking hasn't even contributed to a winning season smh.
In the future we’re gonna look back on this like the 2012 US team and probably recognize some all time greats
camera angle is fire! good runs usa!
Good to see Reeves in this team
👎🏿
Nah Reaves is hella overrated. If he wasn't on the Lakers with lebron and AD nobody would be talking about him
Ballislife is the best KZhead channel for basketball
I always love watching USA runs and ones in Vegas. This is real, well played basketball at the highest level. Also - ant is great but doesn’t his handle look like it needs to get significantly better
Missed these
These dudes aren't ready to take on the best the world has to offer
This is the best the world has to offer. FYM?
who here after they snappin in playoffs
Im enjoying this !
loved watching this... cam johnson looked great on defense imo, really knows how to stay home and close out properly. funny how guys like BI and JJJ are probably considered the vets on this team now
proud of cuzzo 💯
V😢
When are they gonna play the select team?? Also, kinda bummed that fox ain't here he had such a good year.
Probably be on the Olympic team
Man I think this USA team will flourish forsure 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
All these guys taking a leap next year👏🏿
As a wolves fan, I'm very excited. Ant has an opportunity to become as good as he wants. His midrange game is more important than his 3 ball. If he continues to develop the midrange he will be unstoppable. He also needs to continue to learn how to close games. No doubt we would have beat LA if Gobert and McDaniels weren't out.
I don’t know about beating LA but they would’ve given you a better chance.
@@MrKbeezy0you realize it went to OT right despite us being injured. Also, we gave the nuggets a better fight compared to LA despite us being injured
@@kingdinodragonite3470 No you didnt you lost in the first round lmao fanbases these days are sad
@bruhbruh3346 - they lost to Denver, everybody lost to Denver regardless of what round it was. And ONLY the lakers got swept by Denver, ever
@@bruhbruh3346ok how about bruce brown himself on the nuggets saying everyone on the team agreed the Wolves were the toughest team they played that whole run? is it still fanbases saying that!??
Dope post wanna see team select go at it with these guys
Team select is full of shooters 😂
That USA Kobe VI color way is crazy! 🔥😩🙌🏽
JB & AE are going to be superstars for their respective teams
Ant reminds me too much of MJ but at the same time he is himself Also I got the feeling that this team will be talked about for years to come with great young talent that all have something to prove
ALOT of familiar faces just getting me even more hyped for this season!!! This one is going to go down in the books
I freaking love that Team USA plays and practices at UNLV. as a born and raised Las Vegan, this is the the coolest thing to see every couple years. Vegas is a perfect place for the team to get to mesh and practice. Running Rebels for life!
I like this team I’ve always loved Brunson game he’s all around great point
Brazil in the House my slimes.. Yeaaah Siiir 🏀🏀🇧🇷🇧🇷
#A4Alsi
Brazil a very nice country
This is one of the better put together USA teams in a while. They are going to be real tough on defense.
Top 3 players in that gym. Jalen Brunson, Ant-man, Mikal Bridges
This roster is really dope!
This team is fire
Wolves might contend next SZN when ANT takes the jump to superstar levels and I could see the Knicks making a push for the ECF if Randle steps up Watch out 🔥
contend for a playoff spot?
@@hermanjegbar6572 yeah mb 😭
Why are so many people high on ANT? He's good, sure, but MVP?? Not even Luka has one yet
@BetaParagon - Ant can play elite level defense too. If the Wolves end up as one of the top seeds, he will get consideration Last season Wolves were only 1 of 3 teams in the West to have a winning records vs teams .500 or better, Denver and Memphis were the other two. And that’s with KAT missing 50+ games
Yo this team is fire 🔥
imagine haliburton on an nba team w Ant and Banchero . theyd score 125 every night
I like this squad. With 2 true floor generals in Haliburton and Brunson they’ll be incredibly efficient as a team. The calling card will always need to be Defense as they will always be a step behind the international game because the American style contrasts so much. Also the ball size will factor in some of the shooting efficiency.
The size of the ball is the same
@@azeemindawala just feels different, it actually feel better imo
Yup, the FIBA ball is the same circumference as the NBA ball @@azeemindawala
@@azeemindawala Weight and feel. I’ve played with both, they definitely take adjusting to and can be the difference in efficiency for many players.
Them dude's aren't better defenders. Now that Nigeria team can have some dawgs. Other than them dude's, idk about anyone else being a problem. Our offense will destroy team's. Any Point Guard would have a very hard time being guarded by Haliburton. Then to have to deal with Brunson speed and constant motion. We will wear them down. Ant constantly attacking their SG's, having to guard Ant.. shhh..they'll start Brunson PG Ant SG Mikal Bridges SF Ingram PF and JJJ C I'd start Haliburton at PG and have Brunson run the second unit. Because he's pretty much a solo act anyways. Haliburton is 20+ and 10+ every game. He's getting everyone else buckets and involved. He can't do that when playing with all the scrubs.. Banchero was terrible.. ball stopper, didn't ever know where to be. Acted like he's never caught a ball before. Just froze then threw it away.. bs.. he's not ready to be on team USA. I'd rather had Obi Toppin than that fool.
some funky basketball been played . this had to be at the end of the day or something.
JB with the game ending and 1!!!
Jalen better be a starter he’s clearly the best Point on this Team. I would go Jalen, Ant, Ingram, Bridges, JJ.
Mikal too small to play the 4. Lineups will change based on who they’re playing but I think the consensus should be Brunson, Ant, Ingram, JJJ, and Kessler
@@Thebackendhugo3229 Facts, he’s a true 3&D tho 🤷🏽♂️. Kessler i can see for teams that have real bigs like France. But i dont mind Banchero/Bridges at the 4 for more shooting.
@@Thebackendhugo3229 Start Bridges over Ingram. Then Ingram/Paolo play 4 for pretty much the rest of the game
very young USA team in comparison to the ones in the past, hopefully they get a deep run in FIBA
I would like to see USA v Canada fosho
I think they'll win it all. Brunson proved he has what it takes to be #1 in the playoffs, and the rest if the squad is stacked with talent.
@@travisjohnson6703 Yeah they're too big, athletic, and skilled to not win this tournament imo. They won't have the best player (Luka) or even the second best (SGA) but they'll have the best roster and a better bench than most if not all starting lineups in the tournament.
they always send young players at the world cup. Olympics is where they send their best players.
This is better than the All Star game.
ANT about to morph before our eyes. Kid is special.
Anyone else seeing the amount of turnovers and missed open shots??? Don’t know wether to call it good defense or just extremely sloppy play. At least it’s the offseason
Was thinking the same thing. Very sloppy not much playmaking. Don’t know what the comments saw.
Its call being human, just because there pros don't mean there perfect pple always forget that
If we are being fair they also are just coming together, there will be growing pains. As long as they can get chemistry and make it work when it counts that's what matters.
They've been on vacation for a while. They just got together this week. Doesn't matter how great you are. You take even one week off from basketball, you'll feel the effects lol
@@Ben2bwildfacts
Brunson is on 🔥
jay wright.. smiling ear to ear
They might not be the most talented USA team put together, but they might be one of the best rosters ever put together from a defensive standpoint. I feel like this team is gonna have some struggles offensively in FIBA play, but that defense could propel them to the gold.
AR really locking BI ass up 😭🤣🤣
How he lock him up lmao. Shot 50% in a couple touches , offensive foul was super suspect. Bi could have shot over him anytime he wanted if that's what he was set out to do. Dropped 35 , 25 and than 22 on him and the lakers during the season shooting over 47% .. reeves was having trouble to the point they had to stick Vanderbilt on him instead lol stop that
The pace is crazyyy
Just elite basketball.
Man I fr think Anthony Edwards is the 2nd coming of MJ (besides Kobe obviously). Something about him is special and he’s going to achieve greatness
Edwards is 100x better than Brunson. Edwards scoring 35 a game on 18 fg attempts and fts. Brunson scoring 40 on 40 shots and not playing defense. No comparison.
U right no comparison. Both are great
I will never understand why people hate so much and then don't even have the right facts. Just give both of them the credit they deserve.
Both are balling out, leading their teams while super efficient. Brunson has already five 40-point games these playoffs and Ant has had some incredible games against the Nuggets. Both are great in their own game.
If this team is going to win BRANDON INGRAM will have to be special. He can be a nightmare matchup nightmare he can get any shot he wants anytime its just about him wanting to be THE GUY which last yr in NO seems like he grew into that role
That’s the only way USA WIN 🥇 NO 🧢💯💯💯
Good looking practice
Brunson is top of the league talking about decision making
Brunson KNICKS!!!!!!!!!
Let’s go Reaves 😤
JB make it so smooth...
Watching this with headphones and the guy recording scared the 💩 out of me a couple times 😂
I wonder if this team could win a NBA championship 🤔
In 5 years probably
Ooohhh, I was thinking the same thing. This is the blend of skill, speed and size that could do something great. Maybe add one disciplined long range shooter.
