The US basketball team has lost to Italy in a warm up for the Athens Olympics . Larry Brown said " this team just played a different style than we are used to " Yeah , what style is that , team defense ? passing the ball ? , unselfishness ? moving the ball on offense ? looking for the open man , and not breaking every play down into a one on one i'm gonna get a f*cking shoe deal and impregnate 6 bitches while i buy some more bling bling and my posse does my corn rows while i hit the blunt and choke my coach highlight reel ? The NBA is a bullsh*t game and i hope these pricks get smoked in Athens . |

Are there even any Italians in the NBA? :serious: If Shaq, Kobe, and the other great players actually decided to check their egos at the door and play, the team would be guaranteed a gold medal! They put the best team possible together in 1992, and now the great players in the game don't want to play for their country. It's f*cking disgusting. |

Shaq already has a medal. Kobe has more important things going on in his life. Most of the "great" players don't need this. They've either already won the medal, or are older now, and have some health issues. |

There's a difference between putting 12 athletic individuals out there and putting a team out there. It's what I've been saying all along in the NBA. There's way too much emphasis on athleticism vs. talent. The foreign players know the game and know how to work as a team. The US players don't and never bothered to learn, because they're rewarded in the NBA solely on being great athletes. That doesn't cut it in the olympics, let alone does it cut it often in the NBA. How can you really expect to win when there's not a single pure jumpshooter on the team? |

Now they just barely beat Germany, who only has Dirk Nowitzki. I would not be surprised at all if the US team doesn't even make it to the finals. |

I agree 100%. Some of these guys are third tier NBA stars. Shaq - no, Kevin Garnet - no, Lamar Odom - OK. They tried to get shooters, but Ray Allen and Richard Hamilton declined, fearing the terrorism threat. A lot of the guys backed out because of fear. I can't blame them either. My obligation is to the NBA and my team. Why should I go overseas, sacrifice rest, risk injury, and there's the threat of getting blown up. Chances are there won't be an attack, but add all that sh*t up and the possiblity of an attack, I'd be reluctant. And some of the bigger names on the team were the ones getting torched. Dirk lit up Odom, then Duncan took the assignment and got killed too. [They gotta stop letting these Europeans play for their own team. Dirk and Peja's asses should be on the US team. The NBA is American and that's who pays you. Traitors.] Marbury played like sh*t and from the 3rd quarter on, Germany was playing zone and the U.S. was only jacking up threes. Marbury was just chuckin' and missin'. You'd think that with a couple f*ckers who can dribble and pass, they'd be able to penetrate a zone, just once.
That's just Shaq though. The other "greats" have injuries, weddings, fear, and Jason Kidd is too busy trying to create trade scenarios for himself on Real GM. "Me to the Spurs for Ginobili and Parker.....yeah, that's good."
They don't wear jewelry on the court and what do the headbands and tattoos have to with anything? The headband is to stop sweat from running down their face. They do sweat. I know you're thinking, "Its that whole culture they buy into and the 'f*ck hustle, bling bling' mentallity comes with it," but nobody brings that sh*t up in this context when players are playing well. Kevin Garnet has tattoos and wears jewelry. Consensus says that Kobe is the best guard in the game and he wears jewelry and has a tattoo. Look at Iverson in 2000-2001, when the country "embraced Allen". He won MVP, carried that team to the Finals, got beaten up every game. The tats and ice didn't factor in. Everyone sucks Tim Duncans dick (he's a throwback, best in the game, a gentleman and all that), he's got a tattoo. I know what you're getting at, but I don't think it matters. |

Ofcourse I'm joking.....but I wish they would. Those 32 points should have been to help us blow out Germany. |

You expect me to believe that? He's probably roundhouse kicking Joumana as we speak. If he's hobbling around on crutches, then why is he so focused on drawing up trades? The only thing wrong with him is depression. Marbury is there. |

Houston had real knee surgery. Not that cheap sh*t Kidd had. Also, Houston started the season and played most of the way until the knee started swelling, then he came back again, until he knocked knees with someone and hurt it again. That's a man. Kidd was probably just running a fastbreak, it felt sore after the game, and he decided to take a vacation and then use it as an excuse for getting beaten by the Pistons. Nobody gave Chauncey credit for that lock-down 'D. Face facts Amit, your boy is overrated and soft. And he doesn't even like your team. Look at all these players who wanna come to New York and play with Marbury. Vince Carter wants to come here. 'Toine Walker wanted to come. Kobe probably would have loved to come here. Jamal Crawford and Dampier wanna be here. Nobody wants to play with Jason Kidd. Why do you think Kenyon was so quick to leave? Even Rodney Rogers didn't like him. :smirk: |

The " Dream Team " got smoked in Athens today by the Puerto Ricans , and I could not be happier . The NBA is a f*cking disgrace , and now all the world can see what a joke this league has become . I hope all these players are truly embarrassed because they should be . And I hope this is a wake up call for the league to start stressing fundamentals , defense and team play over bullsh*t one on one sportscenter highlights . The " Association " is a complete joke . What it has become is a grossly overpaid , overhyped version of the mix-tape tour . Next year we can look for to David Stern at the podium " with the number one pick , straight outta the Bushwick Houses , the LA Clippers select , Special Sauce ." The " Sauce " jerseys will be a hot seller in not only in the home and away style , but also in the 5 alternative styles , the retro - throwback styles and the roc-a-fella line . Sauce will sign a multi million dollar shoe deal , a record contract , a Mcdonalds sponsorship , and the league will ammend the travelling violation rule from the current 4 steps , to 6 steps . Anybody who actually has the nerve to play defense on " Sauce " will immediately be suspended . He will be elected to the " Dream Team 6 ", refusing to go unless the US Olympic commitee picks up the tab for him to bring along his stylist , manicurist , tailor , publicist , jeweler , 4 members of his Posse , and a couple of bitches . They will immediately cave in to Sauces demands . Oh yeah , Special Sauce and the Dream Team will get rolled in 2008 by the Iraqi national team , who will spend the next 4 years practicing fundamental basketball by reading from the most up to date basketball literature they have in their National library , the 1918 publication " How To Get The Ball In the Peach Basket Everytime " by Dr James Naismith . |
