A portion of the proceeds from each purchase will benefit charity water, a nonprofit organization

Welcome to the ringer NBA show.

I'm T Fraser and I'm joined by our writer, resident Texan and just the trellis one I know.

Mr. Jonathan Jarks, Tarks, welcome.

Hey, man, you can just say resident Texan that covers, you know, everything else I think.

Yeah, that just holds it down.

Bigger than Texas, we have team USA, the entire country.

We have filled it our best team minus the two best players in the world.

And we're going to send them down to Rio to compete in the Olympics.

But last night, they played China and the exhibition game at Staples Center.

I was lucky enough to go down and watch them play last night.

Tarks, I know that you don't really mess around with these exhibition games.

But just overall, what do you expect to see from this team USA?

You know, this is the last time that Coach K will have these guys.

This is his 10 year, 10 year mark on the program.

But just overall, what do you expect to see from those guys in Brazil?

I guess we'll see the Warriors B team, right?

Do what they can without staff.
