Has There Ever Been An Athlete In Any Sport That Refused To Play For His Country

[Koolaid_Man]

some would die for the privilege.... it means that much...even in third world countries...in America where you're given an opportunity to play the game and earn millions it should be required...a rite of passage... it is a slap in the face to honorable people that you won't play a game for your country while some men actually die for it......despite the media's capitulation and covering for it's golden goodie two shoes boy it's pretty disgusting and is a true measure of the character Dr. King spoke about....now just think about that for a minute as you read this article on the lone notable exception

Jim's self imposed exile from olympic basketball was a complete bitch move.

The cuck recognized he can't win outside Pop's system even with a stacked olympic team so he quit on his country. He wanted to coattail Kobe badly in 04.


Boiled down:

Kobe 2 gold medals > Cuck 1 shit stained medal

Scientific inquiry into the wave nature of light began in the 17th and 18th centuries when scientists such as Robert Hooke, Christiaan Huygens and Leonhard Euler proposed a wave theory of light based on experimental observations.[2] In 1803, Thomas Young, an English polymath, performed the famous double-slit experiment that he later described in a paper entitled "On the nature of light and colours". This experiment played a major role in the general acceptance of the wave theory of light.

In 1838, with the discovery of cathode rays by Michael Faraday, these studies were followed by the 1859 statement of the black-body radiation problem by Gustav Kirchhoff, the 1877 suggestion by Ludwig Boltzmann that the energy states of a physical system can be discrete, and the 1900 quantum hypothesis of Max Planck.[3] Planck's hypothesis that energy is radiated and absorbed in discrete "quanta" (or "energy elements") precisely matched the observed patterns of black-body radiation.

In 1896, Wilhelm Wien empirically determined a distribution law of black-body radiation, known as Wien's law in his honor. Ludwig Boltzmann independently arrived at this result by considerations of Maxwell's equations. However, it was valid only at high frequencies, and underestimated the radiance at low frequencies. Later, Max Planck corrected this model using Boltzmann statistical interpretation of thermodynamics and proposed what is now called Planck's law, which led to the development of quantum mechanics.

Among the first to study quantum phenomena in nature were Arthur Compton, C.V. Raman, Pieter Zeeman, each of whom has a quantum effect named after him. Robert A. Millikan studied the Photoelectric effect experimentally and Albert Einstein developed a theory for it. At the same time Niels Bohr developed his theory of the atomic structure which was later confirmed by the experiments of Henry Moseley. In 1913, Peter Debye extended Niels Bohr's theory of atomic structure, introducing elliptical orbits, a concept also introduced by Arnold Sommerfeld.[4] This phase is known as Old quantum theory.

According to Planck, each energy element, E, is proportional to its frequency, ν:



Planck is considered the father of the Quantum Theory
where h is Planck's constant. Planck (cautiously) insisted that this was simply an aspect of the processes of absorption and emission of radiation and had nothing to do with the physical reality of the radiation itself.[5] In fact, he considered his quantum hypothesis a mathematical trick to get the right answer rather than a sizeable discovery. However, in 1905 Albert Einstein interpreted Planck's quantum hypothesis realistically and used it to explain the photoelectric effect in which shining light on certain materials can eject electrons from the material.


The 1927 Solvay Conference in Brussels.
The foundations of quantum mechanics were established during the first half of the 20th century by Max Planck, Niels Bohr, Werner Heisenberg, Louis de Broglie, Arthur Compton, Albert Einstein, Erwin Schrödinger, Max Born, John von Neumann, Paul Dirac, Enrico Fermi, Wolfgang Pauli, Max von Laue, Freeman Dyson, David Hilbert, Wilhelm Wien, Satyendra Nath Bose, Arnold Sommerfeld and others. In the mid-1920s, developments in quantum mechanics led to its becoming the standard formulation for atomic physics. In the summer of 1925, Bohr and Heisenberg published results that closed the "Old Quantum Theory". Out of deference to their particle-like behavior in certain processes and measurements, light quanta came to be called photons (1926). From Einstein's simple postulation was born a flurry of debating, theorizing, and testing. Thus the entire field of quantum physics emerged, leading to its wider acceptance at the Fifth Solvay Conference in 1927.

The other exemplar that led to quantum mechanics was the study of electromagnetic waves, such as visible and ultraviolet light. When it was found in 1900 by Max Planck that the energy of waves could be described as consisting of small packets or "quanta", Albert Einstein further developed this idea to show that an electromagnetic wave such as light could also be described as a particle (later called the photon) with a discrete quantum of energy that was dependent on its frequency.[6] Einstein was able to use the photon theory of light to explain the photoelectric effect for which he won the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics. This led to a theory of unity between subatomic particles and electromagnetic waves in which particles and waves are neither simply particle nor wave but have certain properties of each. This originated the concept of wave-particle duality.

While quantum mechanics traditionally described the world of the very small, it is also needed to explain certain recently investigated macroscopic systems such as superconductors, superfluids, and large organic molecules.[7]

The word quantum derives from the Latin, meaning "how great" or "how much".[8] In quantum mechanics, it refers to a discrete unit that quantum theory assigns to certain physical quantities, such as the energy of an atom at rest (see Figure 1). The discovery that particles are discrete packets of energy with wave-like properties led to the branch of physics dealing with atomic and sub-atomic systems which is today called quantum mechanics. It underlies the mathematical framework of many fields of physics and chemistry, including condensed matter physics, solid-state physics, atomic physics, molecular physics, computational physics, computational chemistry, quantum chemistry, particle physics, nuclear chemistry, and nuclear physics.[9] Some fundamental aspects of the theory are still actively studied.[10]

Quantum mechanics is essential to understanding the behavior of systems at atomic length scales and smaller. If the physical nature of an atom was solely described by classical mechanics electrons would not "orbit" the nucleus since orbiting electrons emit radiation (due to circular motion) and would eventually collide with the nucleus due to this loss of energy. This framework was unable to explain the stability of atoms. Instead, electrons remain in an uncertain, non-deterministic, "smeared", probabilistic, wave–particle orbital about the nucleus, defying the traditional assumptions of classical mechanics and electromagnetism.[11]

Quantum mechanics was initially developed to provide a better explanation and description of the atom, especially the differences in the spectra of light emitted by different isotopes of the same element, as well as subatomic particles. In short, the quantum-mechanical atomic model has succeeded spectacularly in the realm where classical mechanics and electromagnetism falter.

Broadly speaking, quantum mechanics incorporates four classes of phenomena for which classical physics cannot account:

quantization of certain physical properties
wave–particle duality
principle of uncertainty
quantum entanglement.

Boiled down:

Kobe 2 gold medals > Cuck 1 shit stained medal

Kobe has that trademarked tbh. With all the heavy lifting Shaq did for Kobe, you really want to go that route.

Atleast Duncan played and contributed with a bunch of rookies and self imploding players in 04. Kobe on the other was too busy flying back and forth to Denver and ratting out Daddy. Moreover Kobe was the shit stain on the 2012 Olympics. Heck he was so desperate to hop on the Lebron bandwagon that they didn't even care to pass the ball. Goddamn black hole shot 42 % from the field.

Only Deron Fat Williams shot worse.

Even Kevin Stat padder Love shot better.

[Rogue]

Duncan is from Virgin Islands he has every right not to represent the US imho. Enrique also earns millions of dollars from the US why dont you fault on him for not playing for the US? Because he's French and he's naturally supposed to play for the cuckold nation, tbh.

I know you're a benedict arnold since Obama took office...and you're also an Eric Snowden wannabe but trying to justify this shit is just wrong Rogie...he played before and failed....brought home a Bronze... his problem is he believed the hype of himself...he truly believed that just because he won a title as a system player under Pops's system that he was truly great...he thought he could actually lead a team of his peers...and he failed miserably...in other words he thought he was better than he actually was...He played with Wade, Bosh, Lebron, Iverson, and he still lost...it was quite the stain...don't make me post pictures of the sour cream look on his face as he's standing on the Bronze medal stand :lol

[testies]

Nene

[ChumpDumper]

Yeah, people refuse to play for their country all the time.

Kobe does it quite a bit.

[Blake]

I wish Tony and Manu would refuse to play for their countries every now and then

[Katherine Robinson]

Duncan likely wouldn't make the squad after leading the US to a disgraceful bronze. A millionaire who loses his wife with a prenup? Has loser written all over him.

FIBA is retarded.

ok

It's real...how do you lose your wife with a prenup...that shit does have loser written all over it...:lmao

[Koolaid_Man]

I know how....nigga was slanging that dick in all the wrong places :lmao

[ChumpDumper]

It's real...how do you lose your wife with a prenup...that shit does have loser written all over it...:lmaothat's the best way to lose a wife tbh.

It's not like he had to bribe her to stay like Kobe.

The loser move is not getting the prenup in the first place.

how do you explain fucking an illegal alien who stripped for a living when your man is a 4 time champ, a 7 foot millionaire, and you have 2 kids....women don't leave these types of situations unless something is fundamentally wrong with her man... LOL@Spur fan

You're really quite ignorant and not as worldly as you try to profess.

it was the Great Satan that wrecked the US battleship in Athens in 04 imho, and it was beyond the power of a Virgin Islander to fix it. Only Kobe who is God could offset and overwhelm the Great Satan and that was why the team won Gold in 08 and another one in 2012. Fact is, remove Satan from the 04' team and the team would've won gold with ease. NBA players are so superior to the rest of the world you can even send the 3rd all-NBA squad minus international players to the Olympics and the team would still win you gold tbh.
