If fans of the NBA and USA men’s basketball weren’t aware of Carlik Jones before Saturday, they are now. Playing for South Sudan, Jones had a magnificent performance and nearly helped pull off one of the biggest upsets in international play history. Team USA pulled out the one-point win, but Jones’ outing may have put him on the radar with some NBA teams. It now seems as if they won’t have a lot of time to decide before his NBA window is closed for next season.

It has been more than six years since Nigel Hayes-Davis last appeared in an NBA game. After going undrafted in 2017, the 29-year-old forward played nine total games for three different teams in 2017-18. Hayes-Davis got to play against some of the best talent the NBA has to offer though as he was part of the USA Select Team that trained with Team USA for three days. That brief three-day period was enough for one of the most accomplished scorers in league history to believe that Hayes-Davis belongs in the NBA.

“Do you have any doubt about who’s going to win the gold medal? Joel Embiid: I mean, you look at the talent that the US has, but I mean, there’s also equal time on other teams. And the talent that’s on the US team, you also got to understand that most of those guys are also older. LeBron now is not the LeBron that was a couple of years ago. So it’s a big difference. So the name might be there, but everybody would also tell you, and you can see for yourself, the athletic LeBron and the dominant that he was a couple of years ago is not the same that he is now. So, yeah, I mean, I think people get fooled by the names on their own paper, but, yeah, those names have been built throughout their career and now they’re older, so they’re not what they used to be.”

“[I]nvoking the favor and guidance of Almighty God,” the Constitution of the Confederate States of America composed by southern slaveholders in 1861 sought to “establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.” The authors of Project 2025, the latest playbook for restructuring the federal government in order to accomplish the policy goals of Christian Nationalists, similarly declare their manifesto will “decide America’s future” by securing their “God-given individual rights to live freely” and exercise dominion over others.
