I hope you guys have been watching the Fiba tournament...I am LOVING it!
Couple of ob's...
1) This looks to be the best team USA since maybe 96. And as much as I hate to say it, four letters are the biggest difference: K-O-B-E. They finally have a star who doesn't mind being a star in the big moments...and actually is ASKING for the biggest challeneges defensively. I can't stand Kobe but he looks like a real leader on this team. I haven't seen a USA team this serious about defense in a LONG while.
2) Tiago Splitter's going to be GREAT next to Tim. Did anyone else see him get all the way up with Amare the other day? Stuffed him clean, but they whistled a bullshit call. He could easily be Fab with a few more inches. Too bad it won't be this year....I guess his buyout is just too big.
