The NBA is the premier men's basketball league in the entire world. And most of our teams have struggled with adapting to FIBA rules. If an international tourney were played under NBA rules, I'm pretty sure the US would dominate.

Maybe in other countries. Americans don't give a shit about the Olympics unless we're kicking the ass of a rival superpower.Quote:

Different things are needed from those guys as opposed to the role players.
No. The point is, is that Manu is not a franchise level player. Hes a very good player, but he is not on the level of guys like Kobe, Wade, T-Mac, Lebron, etc...Quote:
