Nike kept JB off the team because of politics. JB is the best thing going for the NBA.

@@michaeltrembley3421 He is not even in the conversation as the future face of the league. What are you talking about. If they can't repeat as NBA champions he will be forgotten until they become relevant again. He is not even on the cover of NBA2k25.

@@michaeltrembley3421 facts he's the best player out of the US right now, not having him in team USA was bad but passing him after a spot got empty in the team is beyond bad right now, they're just saying plainly it's a politics move
Gresh is a fool. It’s comical how he thinks he’s so right on topics where he’s so wrong lol
Why didn't William H. Macy make the team?
Both Dwhite and JB deserve to be on the team. It's on nike and nothing else. JB loves dwhite and I'm sure he is happy for him but even dwhite would agree JB is the better player. JB has been the best player in the world the past 3 months and should start for team USA
Jalen Brown has his own mind. He does his own thing. He doesn't need nike or any sneaker deals. Bro is a self define man
The statement that somebody needs to guard, Luka Dončić and I thought Jaylen Brown just did that in the NBA finals. Whoever in his research department is not doing his job very well.🤦🏾♂️

Luka is not in the Olympics his team got eliminated
This sounds like he’s missing form Jaylen Brown, guard, Luka Dončić, and the NBA finals need you to do your facts chicken before you do your hot
its pretty clear by the C's pecking order who's better. Doubt DWhite's feelings are hurt and its more about the politics of the Olympic team.
He did not complain because they did not have to replace a wing with Dru. You don't replace a wing with a guard. Lenard was a wing. You get it.
Jru is a legacy pick - he has actually played in the Olympics.
Dude, Jrue is a point guard! Leonard is gone, who is the best comp? Just think about it! If Jrue was gone, WHITE makes sense! And yes NIKE of course !
This is all about politics. SMDH.
The nba finals mvp not on team usa! Brown isnt there because of nike. No other reason.
Getting awards does not mean you’re the best player in the league. Jrue Holiday could have easily won ECF MVP and Tatum could have easily won Finals MVP. Derrick was 2nd Team All Defense…so there are those who think that White is a better defender. Which he is!!

In the playoffs, JB was by far the best player in the Celtics team.

@@ibikunlefawohunre2869by far that’s why he won east mvp by 1 vote?
Derrick White was chosen over Banchero, Murray, Brunson, Trae, Young, Damian Lilliard, etc. I don’t agree with Jaylen Brown making it all about him when he had ZERO complaints when the team was originally being selected. Every great team has elite ROLE PLAYERS! JB is not a role player, they didn’t need another ball dominant star. Also, Derrick White is a better rim protector which is what they will need in FIBA.

@@GardeniaBlossoms_ so why was kawhi in the team in the first place if they didn't need a ball dominant player. Why wasn't a role player chosen from the start? Bro, if JB gets on this team he's arguably be the best defender on it. With white joining, that's so many guards on the team already.... JB is a similar player to kawhi, he's the perfect replacement, same position, same style of play. I mean who ignores the finals MVP?? With KD injured, this team is already in a vulnerable position. They need a proper forward who can make buckets.
