The biggest NBA American stars, like LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant and Joel Embiid, are part of a 41-player pool from which USA Basketball will select 12 to send to the Paris Olympics. Those four, as well as Jayson Tatum and Devin Booker, are bona fide stars who have said they would play in the Summer Olympics for Team USA and are mentioned on the list of players under consideration. So long as they are healthy and remain committed, three sources told The Athletic, these six U.S. stars are considered locks to make the team.

I had a thought earlier this week: is it a golden rule that NBA teams must rebound well to be great? Do they have to adhere to traditional positions?
Turns out, this OKC team has something in common with the Seven Seconds or Less Suns and the LeBron Heat

Joel Embiid in 37 minutes last night:
70 PTS
24-41 FG
21-23 FT
It’s the fewest minutes played in a 70-point game in NBA history.
Embiid is the sixth player in NBA history to make at least 20 FG and 20 FT in a game.

Vassell on Embiid, “He was unstoppable. We tried boxing him out, sending doubles, putting different people on him…It was a special performance. We were throwing every coverage we had at him. If he missed it, he was getting his own putback. He couldn’t miss.” – 10:46 PM

Nick Nurse says he’s never been a part of a high scoring game before like Joel Embiid scoring 70 tonight. Shocker!

Embiid. Joker. Giannis. Luka. Wembanyama. That’s a given. There hasn’t been an American born MVP for six years. That streak could easily hit 16.

Called Embiid the best per minute player in the NBA so far this year, and nights like tonight are why. That midrange jumper is ridiculous.
