    A bunch of you guys owe Windy an apology. He was the only one that told us how much of a threat Serbia would be. Everybody else took them for a joke. Nick Wright is the only guy that have come out and gave him his flowers for calling it. Draymond who said US would win by 20 and literally said he disagrees with Windy, didn't even have the decency to say he was wrong and Windy was right.
  • @alfieb6711
    so happy that Windy was the one going to Paris covering these games he deserves it❤best reporter/analyst on ESPN plz give him a daily slot on First Take
  • @From33to77
    What the analyst doesn't mention is the home french crowd and as underdog doesnt have anything to lose. Being in the final is great for them. The pressure is on the US to beat France. Not the other way around
  • @ARC_Trooper_Han
    Defense is going to be the main component for Team USA. Not over playing Wemby is another. He’s too dynamic to focus all your attention and ball watching. Wemby could really put his imprint on the game if France gets gold.
  • @hoalanho
    If kerr prioritized playing all players and lost, the narrative would be that he was too worried about players feelings. He is doing fine. Cant play 12 in a fiba tournament, where there is no time to build chemistry. Plus, being behind KD and Lebron in the depth chart is no shame.
  • windy, talking about the changes of the france roster after the group phase, is just the real talk for the french team turning it around after the group stage
  • the elephant in the room is the French role players like Cordinier, de Colo and Lessort. It needs to be talked about more especially in this final podium.
  • @TheRealNappyG
    Joel dropped 70 POINTS & 18 REBOUNDS on Wemby in their one NBA game against each other. Son....that's pure disrespect.🤣Let's hope it carries over into this game! France has some other hot Euroleague shooters now, it ain't just Wemby. But Team USA is battle tested now. Let's wrap it up, & get this Gold! Avengers Assemble!
  • @Renjico00
    It’s funny how they’re talking about Gobert and Wemby so much but the most important players throughout these two upsets are actually Yabusele, Lessort, and Fournier. Fournier would be easier to stop with players like white, Jrue, and book. But yabusele and lessort have body types like LeBron so it would be more difficult to stop.
  • @kingjmansa7027
    They should add ‘guarding Jokic’ to LeBrons 4th Quarter stat line.
  • @gabepizza
    This should be easier than 2021. They have Wemby this time but we have Curry, James, AD and Embiid
  • @gollumhobbit4713
    Whatever firepower Kerr and staff deems appropriate to get the gold, no matter how orthodox or unorthodox, let them do their task, it's not for someone's personal glory, it's for the team's country so win it whatever it takes.
  • Windys been telling us how good world is but fact is we beat Serbia 3 times even though last game was close. Canada and Germany are out, and France is not going to beat us. Nice sale Windy.
  • @riccardol.5893
    Incredible how these "experts" don't talk about real factors for the last games of France.. Lessort and Cordiner... they barely know them... only nba names exists... as usual... good... they aren't know what is coming
  • @juicethreetwo
    France is winning without Gobert at all and with Wemby not up to par on offense or defense and i watched every game he played all year. His game v Jokic that cost them home court advantage saw his 17 points in just a few minutes. France can win if Wemby goes God mode on offense, that is if they give him the ball.
  • @MattParry-yl8su
    They made 10 shots in a row in the fourth quarter......insane!
