Did US National Team head coach Steve Kerr mismanage his roster despite winning gold at the 2024 Paris Olympics? Does it even matter that his hockey substitution pattern was weird, and his matchup-oriented philosophy alienating players like star Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum that Team USA will need in the future?
Or do the ends justify the means when it comes to US dominance in Men’s 5 × 5 basketball in the Olympics? There is a surprising depth and breadth of opinions in the wider basketball community on this topic in recent days. And the hosts of the CLNS Media “Celtics Beat” podcast linked up with the Ringer’s Brian Barrett to talk it over on a recent episode.
Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what they had to say.
