Team USA is classless

[Bill_Brasky]

Actually, yes. I'm a little torn about it. I don't want to be unpatriotic, but sometimes they're just hard to root for when they're playing a TEAM like Argentina. It's a bit embarrassing to me when people like Westbrook prance around and taunt the other team's scrubs when they're up 20.


fuck team usa. i don't like a single one of their playas except durant


Too many of the players like to blow their own horn. As Americans you want to cheer for an American team as they represent you, but arrogance and lack of humility is not how most Americans want to be represented.


I couldn't support a team with LeBron in it tbh. I haven't watched their games so I wouldn't know if they are being arrogant etc. but tbh I rather the underdog win always if Aus aren't competing


I root against them, and I'm not torn about it at all.

Go Manu, Go Tiago, Go Tony!


When other teams have made the game competative, its sucks to see the NBA players gradually falling back into the habits of running and crying to the officials after every whistle. This isn't the NBA. Just go out there and play your heart out. If your that much better than everybody then you shouldn't have to cry to the refs.

I don't root against the US, but I wouldn't be crushed if this group of players lost either.


I can't root for Team USA, bunch of arrogant idiots with their trash talking and showboating is just ridiculous! They make our country look bad as they don't handle winning without any grace or class! :bang

Rooting for Argentina, France, Brazil and Australia as they have our Spurs are playing Manu, Tony, Diaw, De Colo, Mills and Splitter.:toast


Yeah, I don't care if Team USA wins anything. The fact that they are so wildly inconsistent — winning by 80 points one game and 5 points the next — makes them impossible to like. The point of the Olympics is to bring the "America, Fuck Yeah" goods, and if Team USA isn't living up to that reasonable expectation of annihilating international competition, I hope they get unseated from their sense of entitlement and complacency. Particularly by a team featuring Spurs players.

......but the '92 Dream Team was the best most likeable team ever because :cry Chases_with_bible :cry was on the squad!

I don't care about class, tbh.

My statement concerns the lack of effort displayed by American players, who aren't curbstomping international competition to the degree that they are obligated.

Why should I love a team that is purportedly the best in the world, but wins by five points to Lithuania? That's embarrassing.

[baseline bum]

Fuck this shit, if I can't watch classball then I have no rooting interest tbh.

Their average margin of victory is like 30 points. Do you think that doesn't qualify as curb stomping the competition?


Why are they obligated to curb stomp the competition?

Too much butthurt in that thread tbh.

:lol bitching about the lack of killer instinct as glorified by players on that 92 squad

[HeatChamps]

David Robinson and Avery Johnson I'm sure. Religious as they are.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Sons this team is too busy checking out the talent from other countries.

KoMe is too busy focusing on aussie swimmers. Hopefully Steph Rice manages to infiltrate the team and spikes their drinks, poisons their food, gives them crabs or something, anything to give the Aussies a chance :smokin

[KoolAid Mans Brother]

It's really simple. If you live in the USA, and are pulling against Team USA, then get the fuck out of this country and don't ever come back. End of discussion. Stupid GNSF Motherfuckers. Go move to Argentina and suck on Manu's cock.

If Team USA had Duncan or Kawhi for example, Spur fan wouldn't complain.

Spur fan hits a new low. :lol

[baseline bum]

If Team USA had Kawhi they beat Lithuania by 25 tbh.

[baseline bum]

Shoulda had StackJack there too.

[whitemamba]

do spurs fans like live or die by the "class" standards. i dont understand its a game with a bunch of fuckn nigs from the hood.. like how do u expect to it to be classy. tbh i miss the days when talkin shit and taunting was not a big deal, the NBA was more fun and exciting to watch back then.

[DAF86]

And why are you guys so butthurt about how others feel about this team?

If anything they're the ones being true to themselves, they don't like those guys when they play in the NBA and they don't like them now. Why would they have to change how they feel just because they put on a Team USA jersey? If you like to switch preferences fine but don't judge those with stronger moral convictions :lol

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Whoever said you had to like all the players on the team?

I still think Westbrook is a worthless arrogant chimpanzee but it doesn't mean I'm gonna chear against the US team.

And who says you have to cheer for a team just because it's built with players from your country?

So? if other people have other priorities who are we to question them?

[Pelicans78]

I don't feel obligated to root for anyone. I just watch to watch. But I would be disappointed if Team USA didn't win gold. The other teams in this tournament just aren't close to the level of Team USA and that's without all the best players like Howard, Wade, etc.

Otherwise, I really don't care how the men's polo team does.

[whitemamba]

other than that people that root against him in these games are probably originally from a third world country even though they won't admit it...or Spur fan who is butt hurt that Timmy and his bronze medal wasn't invited...and Manu and Parker will get their shit rammed in by team USA...that has to hurt if your Spurs fan....I can see why their mad :lol

faggot, faggot, faggot.... I have no originality in my abuse, my name's ACE. I joined the forum after LeBron joined the heat because I'm a bandwaggoner

[Kidd K]

To be honest, I don't really give much of a fuck about the lack of class. I just don't like half of the team.

Do not like the attitudes of:

Westbrook
Carmello
Harden
Kobe
LeBron

And as a Spurs fan, I can't bring myself to ever cheer for Durant, despite not having a douchebag personality like the above 5 players have.

Which leaves mostly the bench guys who I give a fuck about. In other words, I dislike the players on court basically 2/3rds of the time Team USA is playing. I don't want to route for that shit.

I want to see Team USA lose more than I want to see it win this year. These guys are just too unlikable for my taste.



And who says you have to cheer for a team just because it's built with players from your country?


Because it's representing your country in the Olympics...


Was that question really necessary?

It brings up a great point. There's no reason to give a shit about the team just because it's filled with players who happened to be picked from your huge ass country. What happens if you dislike almost every player on the team? Why should we be forced to cheer for it because it's USA's basketball team?

I'll never cheer for a team that's made up of players with insufferably arrogant and douchey personalities. This Team USA is imo by far the douchiest Team USA we've ever fielded since they've sent NBA players.

Michael Jordan to Headline a Barack Obama Fundraising Event




NBA folks — past and current — have helped out (http://www.slamonline.com/online/news-rumors/top-news/2011/11/barack-obama-to-hold-charity-exhibition-game/) U.S. President Barack Obama by taking part fundraising events (http://www.slamonline.com/online/nba/2012/02/barack-obama-held-30000-a-person-fundraiser-at-vince-carters-house/) throughout the years, and as the 2012 election draws closer, some of the big guns are coming out in support (https://contribute.barackobama.com/donation/obama-classic/08/ofa.html?source=obamaclassic-20120805-hp&action_code=FgxRWxYUOVIKQV0YB10BV04J&td=RVDRasIwFP2V0CcFjUk7tXYvGz7M4cSBgw3mCGl7bYNpEtJ UmGP_vkTLfAm5555z7zn3J4KGCxll0bfubMNVCSeh4KEKKC50E 42iszC-T2mcEF9ZKIWFwrHOBplHWNWJsv-ynEupXV9p49gp9FQn5Shq_YoCrr22y__LVjjwQsuLo855w9nlH ReSt60oxrXxfFNrBf-DnPY22EFIaKPs88sjolKdYQdtG3YxM0vjmZcVFrgfXgZHMaHxm KRjMkc0yRKSJfTGEIbxsrSetkgxTRY4vkvxbH4jdC1YxitQYdR Gn4WUfD-ZYoIGG14I5XRb36Nn5UAiD6DtDn0gStiMpUP0aIyEd8jXwnlNM scUDdart83LCElxBPQEPvoQLWurG9hPYooJpjQleDpHO37gVvS y4Kfmxnkvl5gBCKEVb6CPSFIyRdtwQbS8XhCtXj2t0WUnoSde7 xX9_gE) of the Prez yet again. Michael Jordan (who has been notoriously apolitical throughout his basketball life) will headline a fundraiser (http://www.charlotteobserver.com/2012/08/07/3437746/jordan-nba-players-to-raise-money.html) for Obama later on this month. Per the AP: “The Obama campaign is planning a fundraising ‘shoot-around’ and dinner in New York on Aug. 22 featuring several NBA stars, including Carmelo Anthony of the New York Knicks, Rajon Rondo of the Boston Celtics, John Wall of the Washington Wizards and others. Jordan, who played for the Chicago Bulls, Obama’s favorite NBA team, and NBA Commissioner David Stern are co-hosting a $20,000-per person fundraising dinner with the president later in the day. [...] The campaign is holding a ‘shoot-around’ with players at New York’s Chelsea Piers sports complex, including Anthony, Rondo, Wall, Paul Pierce, Kyrie Irving, Joe Johnson and former NBA centers Patrick Ewing and Alonzo Mourning. WNBA stars Sheryl Swoopes and Dawn Staley are also participating in the event, which will cost $5,000 for a parent and child or two people to have a ‘shoot-around skills session’ with the players. A $250 donation provides an autograph session with the players. Obama’s campaign plans to raffle off the chance for grass-roots supporters to attend the events.”

fact is team USA is full of class...especially Kobe...Kobe takes care of his guys he's not afraid to confront anyone I guess he learned that by all his run-ins with Shaq daddy...take notes Lebron and Durant this is taking leadership to that other level...


LeBron James added 18 points and Paul 17 for the Americans, who were fueled by Argentina’s Facundo Campazzo hitting Carmelo Anthony in the groin as he hit a 3-pointer to end the third. With Anthony buckled over on the floor, players on both benches pointed fingers and jawed at each other. Campazzo acknowledged hitting Anthony on purpose, and said he did it because Paul had punched him earlier. Following the game, Kobe Bryant confronted Campazzo. “It was inappropriate,” Bryant said. “I said, ‘you don’t do that’ and he said, ‘I know.’ He knows he’s wrong. That was uncalled for and I let him know. To his credit, he acknowledged it. He said, ‘My fault, I know.’ And that was it.” Maybe not. Argentina and the U.S. could meet again in the semifinals. The two hooked up in the 2004 Athens Games with Argentina winning before the Americans atoned four years in Beijing. “We find a way to play them every single year,” Paul said. “It’s a rivalry.” Bryant said the 29-point was the U.S. team’s way of reminding the Argentineans they’ll have to play much better – or settle for silver or bronze. “You kind of want to send a message a little bit,” said Bryant, who scored just 11 points. “This was the second game in a row that a team has played us close. We didn’t want to give them confidence.”
