Verno and KOC discuss Team USA’s thrilling victory over France to secure the fifth straight men's basketball gold medal (01:10). They debate where the gold medal ranks among Steph Curry’s achievements, discuss Guerschon Yabusele's impressive performance in the Olympics, and talk about why the basketball that was showcased is good for the global game of basketball. With the U.S.’s reliance on older players to win gold this year, is the window open for a different country to claim gold in 2028 (18:01)? As the release of the NBA schedule nears, the guys discuss the handful of games that have been leaked so far (37:50).
