Winning that is the only way they can legitimately call themselves world champions.
Mr. O Forever Mono, checkin his >&< in.
tee, hee.
sincere congratulations to your team being NBA champions.
in october a world champion will be crowned. from what I hear, the Lakers aren't participating.
crucify em, Black, send that Cubby ass to the tree of woe!
Mama Ellis is getting pretty tight with that ban stick, I can't afford to show my mean side with her around.
savvy?
Aww those Euro teams are cute...but I think it's pretty clear the NBA Champs would stomp all over that Champion in a series
Wow, you are so funny. My stomach hurts from laughing so much.
LOL at people saying the Lakers aren't world champions. The Lakers won the le while being -99 free throws going into the finals. you.
LOL. The Mavs got owned by the Spurs so go over pictures of Dirks mom like you usually do.
IGNORED!
NBA, and all ULEB champions (Euroleague and second level Eurocup) champions do not compete in this.
ULEB wanted to send Euroleague champs to play NBA champs and NBA refused and said they will never allow such tournament to happen. ULEB then offered to NBA that they will send second level tier champs from Eurocup and NBA still refused and said it will never be allowed.
FIBA offered NBA $10 million and they still refused. They offered $5 million prize for the winning league and $5 million prize for the winning team. Stern said he will NEVER allow NBA champ to play European champ, even from second level league Eurocup in official world tournament.
and you just ruined this thread. Good going you broke stick.
Cool Story Bro
Lakers - 2010 North America basketball champions
Actually, 2010 Canada-USA champions.
The Lakers could win all the sanctioned basketball les on planet earth yet there would still be rants and raves about how the Lakers didn't win the:
"IUAICL" Championship.
"The Intergallactic Universal All Inclusive Cosmos League"

prove it.
But they haven't.
The Lakers are the NBA Champions. All we take issue with is you ing re s calling them the "World Champions" when there is clearly a World Championship tournament that they choose not to participate in.
It's a smart move by Stern. The NBA champion has nothing to gain by playing the Euroleague champ. If they win, they're just beating a team they're supposed to beat. If they lose, then suddenly the NBA's credibility takes a hit.
David Stern is scared a NBA team might lose, that's why he's refusing.
Hey dip . Look what i found on your teams website. ing boston re "not knowing geography".
Now GTFO you bandwagoning stick.

No worries. Team USA will make sure that the "world champions" claim will be proper after they lay the smackdown on the rest of the compe ion in the WBC this year. It's just formality.
Meaning Team USA is the world champion of international basketball.
Not the Lakers.
lol Whenever Dallas wins the NBA Finals...Mono will be the first guy in here claming "World Champion Dallas Mavericks!"
