Dan cannot believe that Team USA almost fell victim to one of the biggest upsets in the history of basketball after they squeaked by South Sudan courtesy of a last-minute layup from LeBron James. While it was only a friendly, it’s hard to tell if this was a wake-up call or a red flag for this immensely talented team, but it wasn’t good.
Dan Patrick: “Team USA had to get a clutch layup from LeBron (James). It’s inexcusable! I’m going to give South Sudan credit because they played hard. That’s their Olympics; they’re playing against Team USA. That win, even the fact that they went toe-to-toe and barely lost, I can’t imagine how that is going to be received or was received in South Sudan. And they’re trying to grow this. I mean, this, this is a movie waiting to happen...They bordered on one of the greatest upsets in basketball history...This was monumental.”
