FIBA Basketball - Serbia v France Highlights - Extended version & box score in comment.
Here’s the boxscore and the extended version however with a Serbian commentary.
Wemby only took two 2p FGs? What was France doing out there on offense?
I mean he also went 1⁄6 from 3pt, as well as the fact that he had 6 TOs. Guard play was quite poor, Fournier showed why he aged out for example. Poor performance overall, result wouldn’t be as close if Serbia wasn’t sleeping in the 4th
played a lot with Gobert we’re trying double big
Wemby bricking a thirty foot step back three in a one possession game is PEAK summer wemby basketball ahahaha
why are they playing? is there a competition this summer
Preperation-games for the WorldCup Qualifiers
FIBA World Cup
European teams take it as serious as they do the Olympics. Not sure why but Americans as a whole just dont focus on it like they do Olympics and NBA. So most American fans dont know of it but every Euro superstar plays in it.
Olympics are clearly more important but World Cup is one of the main paths to go there, qualification is not obvious even for the best european teams.
Americans don’t care because it’s seen as a lesser competition. The NBA is the best league in the world and the Olympics is where all the best athletes in the world compete. From an American perspective, FIBA is like the minor leagues of international basketball. I don’t necessarily agree with it, but it explains the general disinterest from fans and players
To be frank as a international fan, it’s a shame that American star players refuse to take FIBA seriously because it’s so much more entertaining due to the number of teams competing in it. More players and more teams playing meant there’s more opportunities for upsets like March Madness.
Please, don’t say “FIBA” when you mean the World Cup. Especially since the basketball events at the Olympics are also organised by FIBA.
I know that but last time I said that here a European man wrote like 3 paragraphs about how Americans live in a prideless authoritarian society that only values fame and money so I decided to stay neutral
Sounds pretty based tbh.
