Jackson Gatlin (@Locked On Rockets) is joined by Chuck Walter (@Locked On Warriors) to discuss Team USA winning gold over France behind 24 points from Steph Curry, including a flurry of threes to closeout the game in the final minutes, whether or not the Warriors are wasting a chance at another title by not going all-in again while Steph can still play at this level, and the potential of a team up with LeBron James before the two retire.

Then, John Karalis (@Locked On Celtics) swings by to talk about the Jayson Tatum benching storyline that has followed Team USA all Olympics, whether or not it's Tatum's fault for not playing, how the handling of Tatum's minutes and role could have a far-reaching impact on the 2028 Olympics roster, and predicting who the starting five will be four years from now in Los Angeles.

Lastly, Brendon Kleen (@Locked On Suns) tackles Devin Booker adapting to a different role with Team USA and if he can bring that same play to the Suns next season, Kevin Durant becoming the winningest basketball Olympian of all-time, and KD's social media interactions discussing the state of basketball fans and media.
