The United States are just 54-point favorites against Tunisia today. They’re the only team in the field without an NBA player on their roster. But they do have Radhouane Slimane, which is an awesome name. And he looks like this, which is going to be fun to talk about for a couple hours.
In the 2010 World Championships, the U.S. beat Tunisia 92-57, and honestly, it might’ve been the worst game Team USA played in the entire tournament.
The most important pregame stuff: The game is at 4:15 p.m. CT on the NBC Sports Network (Cox 716 HD and 251) or the Olympic Basketball Channel (Cox 808).
mvp of the game is okc thunder? ha what a loser @Jokazc

So...MVP of this game is....OKC Thunder !
all three played pretty good.Only thing I didnt like was that russel tournover after rebound,and harden pass in fast break.
p.s.I almost forgot how fast russel is...O_o
Lmao I just noticed Chandler smacked KD's butt in that gif
Anthony Davis beasting against this tough competition. Let's trade Westbrook for him. Future hall of famer.

Who wants to play ball today?
Guess who has a J.O.B now.!!!
@ElMexiThunder congrats bro!!!!!
@OBoymuzik Thank you man!!
@Patrick OKC @Patrick i can't catch dribble or run so nothing to be embarress about. Mjokc is pretty good though.
@ElMexiThunder @Patrick @Patrick In the evening my wife works. So it will have to be an evening when I am not watching my girls. Also by embarrass you I mean when people are asking "Hey who brought the guy who can't dribble/catch/run?" and you are stuck responding "Yeah who brought that guy?"
@Patrick OKC @Patrick why wait someday when you can just go hoop with mjokc and me?
@ElMexiThunder @Patrick Maybe someday I'll go embarass you on the b-ball court and I'll give you my name.
@ElMexiThunder @Patrick @Patrick Shurden was my favorite teacher ever. I was his assistant a while back. There is a chance LaFlamme would remember me also. I had her two years and was too much of a pain in the ass to be forgotten after having to deal with me for that long.
@Patrick OKC @Patrick shurden, laflamme, and pelon(mcdaniels) are still there everyone else has left/retired after 2011 class(my graduating class) because the then head principal left to U.S. grant, so they either followed her/retired.
@ElMexiThunder @Patrick @Patrick Laubach, Groves (pretty sure she is still there), LaFlamme, Shurden, Blackburn, Bish, McDaniels. I had Kern before she went into politics. I made her cry and may be a big reason why she is now doing something meaningless.
@Patrick OKC @Patrick whats their names? I mean you never know.
@ElMexiThunder @Patrick @Patrick I'd ask you to say hi to my old teachers for me, but I am pretty sure they are all retired (and you don't actually know who I am). My niece will be a freshman this year though.
@ElMexiThunder @Patrick @Patrick
You're getting ready to live "what goes around comes around." :)
@Patrick OKC @Patrick If i have to deal with kids that act the way i did(which im sure i will) i'm in for a rough time.
@ElMexiThunder @Patrick Meaning you could have to deal with kids like me. You poor bastard. That's a joke. I was awesome.
@ElMexiThunder @Patrick Mine also.
@ElMexiThunder @Patrick
Congratulations, ElMexi! You're going to do good things there.
@Patrick OKC why would i be? Thats my old high school.
@ElMexiThunder Oh boy you're screwed.
@OBoymuzik Northwest Classen High School in NW OKC on May.
@ElMexiThunder ESL teachers assistant right? what school?
all bow to @MisterJohnsonOKC for predicting this game exactly

@tydude KD's half-ass MJ impression is BIG
@tydude jarred sullinger isn't on team usa
Got damn. I love me some Anthony Davis finishing on the lob. That dude is nice.
USA is the only team 2-0 in group A
@tydude thanks for adding the wins up
@tydude surprise surprise
how cool a Tunisia got Kobe Autograph
@tydude Ebay here that shoe comes.
@Old Man Game @tydude he put it back on after kobe signed it
@OBoymuzik @tydude It'd be hilarious if he played the rest of the tournament with that.
thank you for ending this game
I think tunisia might come back. You never know.
Now you do.
Coach K: okay guys, you need to push it a little harder or we won't cover.
we are up by 47 right now
I think Westbrook has to be a +60 this game, because we kinda suck when he's not out there.
I feel like US is just trolling to get Davis lobs.
javale mcgee dunk right there
Player of the game? I'd say its either Melo,KD,Westbrook,Davis
@AllDae I'm going to go with Melo for this one.
