“Defensively, it’s going to be crazy.”
Now healthy, Bilal Coulibaly is looking ahead to hopefully making the Olympic roster for Team France.
If he does, he’ll join forces with Rudy Gobert, whom he met at an event at 11 years old. @MonSportsNet monumentalsportsnetwork.com/article/bilal-… – 1:27 PM

More on this storyline

Josh Hart: “I think it’s because of his feet bro. His feet just might be too big for him.” Patrick Ewing: “I mean he’s 7-3, 7-2, right? You were asking a man that big to be able to guard Luka. I mean, that’s a tough situation to be.” Jalen Brunson: “Very true.” -via YouTube / June 14, 2024
Josh Hart: “Do you think you would have been getting cooked like this?” Patrick Ewing: “Hey look, he is going, he’s going against Luka, one of the the best one-on-one guys. He had him on ice skates. I was talking to someone, one of my friends about the exact same thing. And as, as a big, I would try to cushion him or give him, get up on him and make him a driver at that point. I’d rather them hitting a two than a three.” -via YouTube / June 14, 2024
Coulibaly showed up to a charity event involving Gobert in the Courbevoie suburb of Paris, not far from where he grew up. He waited in line to get an autographed headshot and a picture. Now those two could be teammates in the 2024 Summer Olympics, which will be held in Paris, France, just miles away from where they first interacted. “I hope so. Defensively, it’s going to be crazy. Defensively, we’re going to have a great team,” Coulibaly told Monumental Sports Network. -via monumentalsportsnetwork.com / June 13, 2024
ClutchPoints: “I think it’s unfair… This is what everyone in this league has worked for. And sometimes emotions get the best of you.” Jalen Brunson defends Luka Doncic after he was criticized in the press for his Game 3 ejection 🗣 (via @BleacherReport) pic.twitter.com/IywyWRhANC -via Twitter @ClutchPointsApp / June 13, 2024
“We never tanked anything,” the Mavericks owner said. “We just decided to play our younger players the last couple of games. But it’s [general manager] Nico Harrison’s and mine’s and [coach] Jason Kidd’s job to make the tough decisions. Nobody who decides to rebuild effectively likes it. When you play your young players, it’s not always fun. So we just felt it was time to go young.” -via New York Post / June 9, 2024
