Can Team USA Basketball survive the rising tide of global talent? This episode of Gambling Mad with Norman Chad uncovers the shocking near-defeat of Team USA by South Sudan, despite having superstars like LeBron James, Steph Curry, and Kevin Durant on the roster. We dissect what this nail-biting game could mean for the future of American basketball and its global dominance. In a stark turn, we also address a controversial new trend: vending machines dispensing gun ammunition in several US states. This unsettling development raises critical concerns about public safety in a nation already reeling from gun violence.
