Basketball 2019 Discussion Thread

Recommended Posts

The following is a discussion based on unconfirmed information and rumors. Please be advised.

 

So, apparently some/a Lithuanian Basketball official has stated that FIBA are actively working on phasing 5x5 Basketball out of the Olympics by 2028. The rumor comes from a source shared to Reddit Olympics. I looked at the original post and the source didn’t seem super reputable. However, I also know that sometimes the craziest rumors can be true.

Apparently our basketball federation's logo is so old-fashioned that even FIBA ordered to change it :lol:

The University of Oregon beat our women’s national team tonight in an historic, and most likely one of the craziest all-time upsets. It’s worth noting the US are World Champions on the women’s side.
