Could they beat the USA in basketball?

who cares

>>78280007
Could anyone beat them in any sport?

>NO

they produce some fucking amazing players, but no. olympics proves this

>>78280007

Only if you can make a team out of them instead of very talented but totally uncoordinated recollection of egos and different styles of play.

So no.

>>78280207
Shut up Garsol.

lmfao

You guys should just reform Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia again. It seemed like it worked out last time.

Are we living in different timelines?

Czechoslovakia cannot into basketball. Barely can into football, just like Yugoslavia.

It took a Czechoslovakia vs Yugoslavia Euro football championship for them to finally win something.

Depends. We're kind of due for a loss in the next few years but that's largely due to our complacency (our team never practices and half of our players don't play.) If we actually cared though no chance. Our front court is so much more athletic than any other team in the world and we can effectively go hyperbig (Davis and Cousins) or hypersmall (Lebron and Green) at the 4/5 without sacrificing on either end of the court. That versatility makes us basically impossible for other teams to match up with.

>>78280618
But even the 08 redeem team struggled against Spain and it took Kobe going wild in the 4th to win

>>78280652
there's more talent now imo. next olympics will have westbrook, harden, AD, hayward, kyrie, etc etc. westbrook would kill himself on the court if we lost

Yes, but obviously Americans are better, there's no discussion there. 9/10 times they win.

>>78280652
Nobody right now is as good as that Spain team and if our team actually practiced or prepped for opponents we would destroy even the second best team in the world by 30. It was super apparent last olympics that Coach K didn't care and just threw out whatever lineup he felt like without really considering fit and matchups.

They did. Back in the day

>>78280007
Yugo basketball would be better off without us. Right now we have Bogdanović, everyone else is shit. But even if we had a team full of great players, we'd never achieve anything. Same with football. The atmosphere is rotten and deranged.

>>78280733
Saric?

>>78280745
He's mentally unstable and his dad is retarded. Loser.

>>78280007

YES, but only if game is not important, if finales NO, no one could, NBA stars are animals. 2 strong, 2 fast (and maybe, possibly on lots of drugs and steroids)

how?

>>78281037
spain had more talent than the rest of europe combined in 2008. USA still won thanks to kobrball. 2012 was arguably the same

Put Nurk the turk in there and add Kalinic instead of Vooch and you have a team that could legit challenge USA.

>>78281435
ok mehmet now show us your Unibrow and your disgusting bulging slav face

No. The 10 best players in the world are all Americans, that's kind of impossible to beat unless there are serious motivation/chemistry issues, like in 2004. The Warriors alone could beat any non-US national team.

>>78280733
Your best player Atm is a Bosnian Serb

>>78281929
>who is giannis

does anyone live on those croatian coastlines and islands or are they sparsely populated like west coast of scotland?

>>78282129
Yeah, catholic serbs live there

>>78280652
That Spain team got old and USA has gotten so much better, talent wise. There's just not as much buy-in.

2008 didn't even have Duncan

>>78282076
Giannis is awesome, but he's not top 10.

>>78280507
They were good at hockey though

>>78281929
The warriors could probably any 10 players from the US too desu

Yugo team would be very good talent wise but they would like the pace and the strength to match the USA.

In the 2000s some team could beat team USA because they still used retarded tactics (going for the steal everytime as if their opponents were high schoolers, playing iso against zone defence, feeding their volume shooters to oblivion isntead of using their physical superiority). They were totally clueless against teams that could master pick and roll (Greece or Argentina), or against big men shooting 3s as it was not popular in the NBA yet.

Now the game played in NBA is more similar to European basketball with small ball lots, of 3 chucking so obvioulsy the USA are more powerful in FIBA games.

An all star European team would a better opposition

Dragic Mirotic Bogdanovic Gasol Atetokompo, or something like that

With real role players on the bench, like Teodosic, Rubio, Gobert, Jokic, Porzingis...

They could. USA aren't very good. And I would know because i'm visiting from USA and posting on a proxy.

>>78282043
He's catholic. That makes him Croatian in my book.

>>78280037
fpbp tbqh senpai

>>78288001

This.

Tactics, and very simple ones like the meme P&R, combined with their inability to adapt and obliviousness about international competitions, with actual talent in some team and them having poor grouping choices is what had USA BTFO by 4-5 teams back then.

They seem to have learned and adapted some concepts, including the meme 3s basketball, though. Their main advantage is still physicality though, and it's a big advantage.

VIDMAR

If USA put out a godmode lineup(pretty much the warriors plus LeBron) than not a chance

>>78280796

Jordan and Pippen were so pissed off that management were gonna sign Kukoc on a bigger contract than they had that they bullied the fuck out of him when Team USA played Croatia. He ended up being a good player for the Bulls though.

1.Curry
2.Klay
3.Durant
4.Lebron
5.Cousins

Bench
Westbrook
Harden
Kawaii
PG
Anthony Davis

This lineup would annihilate them

>>78280007
Yes.

C Divac
SF Kukoc

SG Petro
PG ?

>>78280007
Why is one part of Serbia coloured different?

we did, back in sssr

>>78285330
He's clearly top 10

>>78280007
yes

Of course not. They white. Beat his ass.

>>78280007
Would be so good in soccer, the old Yugoslavian national teams were so fucking good

>>78280007
Better questions is could those countries combine win a World Cup?

(imo they would definitely compete and finish top 4 in 2018)

>>78294793
Who's the Croatian that died after making a name for himself in the NBA? Didn't know of him before the 30 for 30, but that story is fucking sad senpai
