There are mediocre NBA players people!!!
We happened to send them and no pure shooters.
Had we done this, this discussion would be moot.
We did not send our best like everyone else did and has been doing for decades.
The rest of the world still is not better than us in basketball.
Puerto Rico is a US territory btw. :ph34r:
Im american and im with america all the way but they got owned real bad :(
The same thing has happened to our Beloved Canadian ice hockey . But were starting to come back in the last few years. It's good for the sport. Get's kid's playing. :)
Becuase the best players a stupid brats that won't do anything unless money is involved. They did not want to take part in the olympics. So shut the hell up because thats the best team they could make from willing players. This is the best they could gather...rest of the world gathered thier best too. And thier loses prove other countries have alot of talent and skill in this sport.Quote:

No it doesn't.
It proves you can beat our mediocre players. :lol:
Their best against our best is no comparison.
No it doesn't.Quote:

Quite, although would you say my point is valid?
Watching the Basketball this year c.f. the standard of, say, 12 years ago I'm pretty sure that the overall standard has increased by quite a margin. That may be in part due to the 'Dream Team' making basketball look appealing to other countries and more people taking up the sport in a global sense.

No. <_<
It's better coached.
Foreign players are still not as athletic.
Notice the first and second half difference vs. Australia.
They play in a rather unentertaining system. It's smart don't get me wrong but nevertheless unentertaining.
Foreign countries concentrate on us in these "systems" while we beat them and have fun doing it. Other countries have no showtime. <_<
As far as I'm concerned, our team doesn't really care to win any of the games, even though they've won all their games after losing to Puerto Rico by so much. Plus, basketball isn't the only thing we are good at and should never lose at, look at the medal count for crying out loud :music1:
No. <_<Quote:
