This week, we have a particular installment of hoops talk with my friend Arya Shirazi, where we talk about Olympic basketball, Team USA, their incredible final against France, and the future of international basketball.

We talk about Steph Curry, Lebron James, and Victor Wembanyama and theorize where it could all go from here.
