Shawn Marion having the honor of getting bukkaked by Argentina both in 2002 and 2004
Well, Argentina and Spain are the only good foreign teams. Unlike Greece, which has a team that gets its shit pushed in by a bunch of tribal shamans that though their airplane to the qualifying games was a monster, they have what it takes to compete.Shawn Marion having the honor of getting bukkaked by Argentina both in 2002 and 2004
I was fully aware of Duncan letting our country down in 2004, but I forgot about D-Rob doing likewise in Seoul. Good find, BR.
Truly shameful representatives of our great nation.
sons many of you are being hypocrites by saying that "but... but... but.... Duncan had to play with" excuse because in the 2000 Olympics the U.S. had absolutely no problem bringing home the Gold with this roster ....
2000 Olympic Team
Shareef Abdur-Rahim
Ray Allen
Vin Baker
Vince Carter
Kevin Garnett
Tim Hardaway
Allan Houston
Jason Kidd
Antonio McDyess
Alonzo Mourning
Gary Payton
Steve Smith
then Duncan had this ...
2004 Olympic Team
Timmy D
Allen Iverson
Stephon Marbury
LeBron James
Dwyane Wade
Carmelo Anthony
Amare Stoudemire
Carlos Boozer
Lamar Odom
Emeka Okafor
Richard Jefferson
Shawn Marion
now sons come on. enough with the excuses. look at those rosters. if that 2000 team roster could win Gold, then Duncan's team had absolutely no excuse in 2004 for getting stomped out by Argentina and finishing behind ITALY for the bronze for the love of God.
Sir, will you listen to yourself!
I dunno son, if Iverson and Marbury were more willing to defer to Timmy and other open teammates rather than take poor shots, I imagine the outcome would have been different. We know based on Kobe's recent playoff run than when you have a selfish guard taking bad shots to obtain glory (despite having star big men on the team), it's a recipe for failure.
Son, the 2000 team almost lost to Lithuania
another thing sons is not only did Argentina sweep and mop the floor with Duncan's U.S. team in 2004 (the most crucial game of their Olympics which Duncan shit the bed and only scored 10 points, 6 rebounds, and turned the ball over 3 times see link below) ... but even Lithuania beat them as well. yes Lithuania!

(btw another interesting tidbit ... Ginobili stepped up for his country and delivered 29 points in that game while Duncan couldn't do shit for us)
lol son they did lose to Lithuania at one point...Son, the 2000 team almost lost to Lithuania

Never again
TBH Duncan was the only consistent guy on that roster. Melo/LeBron/Wade were all still young, and your point guards were total chuckers in Marbury/Iverson.
The other squads had PGs who made plays for the team, not to mention guys like LeBron who would eagerly defer to the wide open guy.
But if the 2004 Olympics showed anything, Manu was a total beast.
so just to set the record straight with statistical facts. Tim Duncan was clearly the best player on the 2004 Olympic team, I mean it was his team. However in the two biggest games for the U.S. team in 2004 Duncan was pretty much nowhere to be found ...
Semi-Finals vs Argentina
Argentina: 89
USA: 81
Duncan: 10 points, 6 rebounds, 3 turnovers
Top USA Performer
Stephon Marbury: 18 points (8 of 15 shooting)
Bronze Medal Game vs Lithuania
USA: 104
Lithuania: 96
Duncan: 6 points (1 of 7 shooting)
Top USA Performer
Shawn Marion: 22 points (9 of 15 shooting), 6 rebounds, 3 steals

son check my post above. that simply is not true. sure Duncan lit it up against fucking Angola and Puerto Rico (lol) ... but in the two most important games of the entire Olympics he didn't do shit.
Code:Originally Posted by Timvp Hanging yourself by your junk puts you into a separate category.
You are absolutely right, BR... great take, B...
What the 2004 Olympic team needed was the calm, measured leadership of dat dude Eric "Da MF'n Troof" Gordon to set them team-killing chuckers straight... his clutch shots and warrior mindset would surely have delivered the gold, tbh...
lol Clipper Nation stand up!!!
Yeah right, having Clipper coach playing Marion over LeBron and Dick over Wade was already bad enough.

Sons, that's why you need the clutch play of a guy like King Eric the Cornerstone on your team, tbh... it's CRIMINAL that he didn't make Team USA this year over that pathetic choker James Harden...
sons the truth of the matter is that Duncan being the best player on the U.S. team in 2004 did nothing but pad his stats against pussy teams like Angola, Puerto Rico, and Greece (basically teams that if Matt Bonner played there he could look like Kareem Abdul Jabbar) ... but then shit the bed when it counted against teams that actually had some talent and when his country needed him the most. check the stats.
Son, I thought your had Iverson as the best player on that team. I'm confused.
King Cornerstone would have done this to Argentina and Lithuania:
Your team having those two players (Marbury, Iverson), with them being the team leaders, would really get you to the top but because of Duncan's inability to step up during that time, they weren't able to. This, I think, is based on the OP's perspective
On a serious note though, what is your expectation on an Olympic team led and ball-dominated by Iverson and Marbury?
no son pay attention. It is crystal clear that Duncan was the man on that team (even if he didn't play like it).
How det nigga gonna be the man when he's only a system player?
again son please pay attention. its annoying for others who can read and comprehend to have to go back thru all of this .... (from the previous page)Your team having those two players (Marbury, Iverson), with them being the team leaders, would really get you to the top but because of Duncan's inability to step up during that time, they weren't able to.

On the real son, are you upset your boy unibrow didn't make the final cut? Be honest
That 2000 team was stacked at the time, B... the prime versions of Kidd, KG, Vinsanity, and Ray Ray were impeccable and not to be fucked with...
The 2004 team had Emeka Okafor and Richard Jefferson on it, c'mon man...
Nah B... I seem to detect more bitterness from BR about this man not making it:
