Thanks Kelvin for talking to germanhoops.com. It´s Olympics time. Is the basketball competition one that excites you with the team USA on board with many of their absolute best. Can one still call them a Dream team?

Hey Miles, USA has a great roster. In my opinion they’re not a dream team, but a great team that is constructed perfectly. I still believe they’re the best team in this year’s Olympics.

Team USA had too seriously buckle down against South Sudan and Germany. Are these 2 of the best examples that not only has the world caught up in basketball, but could beat this team in crunch-time with perhaps a little more luck and no Lebron James?

Yeah there’s great players all over the world. I think any team could be beat on any given night, but USA still has the best team nonetheless.

Germany played an incredible game and gave Team USA all they had but lost by 4 as Lebron James saved the day. About how far is Team USA from being 100% ready for the Olympics?

I think they’re ready now. KD didn’t play in the exhibition games and USA was trying to find their rhythm.

Lebron James showed again why he is still the best in the world scoring 20 points in the fourth quarter and the team´s last 11 points to silence Germany. Was that performance about as Jordan as it gets?

Jordan? That’s Bron! That’s a classic GOAT performance from the GOAT. He showed why he’s the best of all time and still great even at 40 years old.

Kevin Durant didn´t play. How vital is he for Team USA and is his presence the difference from say a nailbitter win and more comfortable win by 10 points?

He’s extremely vital. He brings an element that Team USA doesn’t have, let alone another country.

It seems at times Team USA takes plays off and does too much isolation which is normal from NBA guys and guys that have super individual qualities. What is still missing from Team USA to be able to win games more comfortably?

In the exhibition they were taking some plays off, but when official Olympic play starts they won’t do that. Too much on the line.

Devin Booker and Jayson Tatum looked invisible in the Germany game. How vital is it getting these 2 guys more involved in the offense on a team where every guy is a walking bucket?

They’re not the main players on this years team, so they need to do the things that Team USA needs, like defense and shooting.

Team USA looked good on defense and then on other plays not so good. In between, they made huge athletic blocks. What do they need to tighten up most there?

They just need to continue to keep their energy and intensity high all game.

Team Germany played a spirited game. How good do they look? They are a team that showed at the World Cup that they were able to keep developing as a team as the tournament went on. Do they have pressure as the World cup champion?

Germany is tough! They showed why the won the World Cup last summer! They’re a great team led by Dennis. But no, they have zero pressure. USA always has pressure because they’re supposed to win no matter what.

Dennis Schroeder had a solid 13/10 game in 17 minutes despite having a bad shooting day. Can he take his game to another level despite being the 2023 World Cup MVP?

Yes he can, he’s a great player and he’s shown before he can take his game to another level.

Sharp shooter Andi Obst continues to make incredible bombs from outside. Could he finally get an NBA chance after a successful Olympics?

I believe Andi could get an opportunity! You never know what could happen or who is watching.

Germany and USA will advance form their groups, but how tough is that group A with Canada, Spain, Greece and Australia. Who won´t survive there?

Oh that group is tough, but honestly, I think Greece won’t survive. Canada will for sure move on, but Spain and Australia can be either one.

South Sudan showed their fighting qualities against Team USA. Do you see a sleeper going far in this competition?

YES! South Sudan has a great team with high level players, and they have a great coach in Royal Ivey. They will make some noise for sure.

Please predict the 3 medals and who will capture them?

USA wins the gold, Canada wins silver, and Germany with the Bronze.

What would be the score between Dream Team USA 1992 and Team USA 2024 in a game?

That’s tough, the dream team was loaded. But, I believe it’s a different game now and Team USA 2024 would win. 102-98 would be the final score in my humble opinion.

Thanks Kelvin for the chat.
