It's the best league in the World. That's why a lot of Argentina and Brazilian players are there, and no Greek players.
If Argentina would struggle to get past the group stage, then Greece shouldn't even make it to the Olympics, tbh.
What has the Greek-American won at the Olympics again?

Huertas runs circles around those guys.
Huertas is a leader, clutch, and more importantly has balls, something none of those guys have.
Lies!, tbh
Huertas > Prigioni > Rubio >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Diamantidis > Teodosic > Spanoulis.
It's tomorrow. I'm not sure it'll be a great game because probably players from both teams will celebrate together tonight in Buenos Aires haha.
I know brazilian players will because we did not qualified for the olympic in the past 4 editions (16 years).
He's 26 and i'm not sure he have such clause but if I had to guess I'd say no.btw How old is Huertas? Does he have an opt out clause if an NBA team is interested in him? Is he even interested in the NBA? I'd love for the Spurs to take a look at him.
I was hopping for Splitter to make an impact in his first year then expecting spurs org to think "oh, this guy is good so lets sign that other guy from his spanish team" haha
Unfortunately it wont happen. But them running the 2nd team would be great.
You can watch him working the PnR against Team USA here:
Brasil could've won that game... It was very close... By far the toughest game in USA run to the world le last year.
But later brazil was eliminated by Argentina but he dropped 32 points that game... Only short of Scola who dropped 35...

Only an argentinian could answer that. But the crowd loved him.. Huge ovations everytime he was introduced...Magnano is an awesome coach. Why did he stop coaching Argentina anyway?
To be fair a spanish coach started changing the team's mentality. We won the copa america in 2007 with the NBA players but he got sick and left on year after. The magnano came and changed the culture of the team.If they were playing SSOL before he came then I don't think I would have liked watching Brazil play, but like I said, I watched them in the WC last year and I guess Magnano started to make him imprint on the team as they were trying to play the right way. He hasn't been there long and I guess you will keep seeing the progression, and Brazil will keep improving as they learn to play the way he wants them to play, which is the right way to play IMO.
and it wasn't even ssol, it was just "let's shoot from 3 and hope it goes in"
Now if he can convince barbosa to play for the team holding his stupid shots then the team would improve...
Varejão will come back for '12 Olympics but I'm not sure Nene will ever play for the NT again...

oh, that's the real reason then...
but he surely is doing a heck of a job with Brazil.
In the latest turn of events, the mighty Greece lost to Russia in the FIBA Europe.
Brazil-DR replay on ESPN2 right now. To be followed by Argentina-PR.
The Argentina-Brazil championship game will be broadcast live on ESPN2 at 7PM Central Time on Sunday.
lol no European teams in the FIBA championship. lol Greece.
oh really? But I bet it was a close game decided on the last possession right?
like 71-70 in favor of the lucky russians...
Exactly. I mean, assuming FIBA introduces a 16-point last possession, it was. They might do that for Greece.
Every single player on the Argentina roster was born in Argentina.
Congrats to Argentina. great game, I'm very happy for Manu and Faricio
Barbosa must stay away from Brazil NT. He' a choker and doesn't play defense. Anderson will be back and I'd consider Nene but not Barbosa
And finally: BAREA![]()

the news in world of basketball
''Greece attempted to bribe referees''
what a shame
A semi-retired Sanchez is a serviceable backup to Prigioni. Spanoulis wouldn't make the cut in this Argentina team. 5'5 Quinteros is probably better than him. What has VSpan ever won at the NT level?
All born in Argentina. Greek-American team can't say the same.
lol needing American born players to pad the A-team roster and still suck
Not only they're all proud to be born in Argentina, all of their parents have been born in Argentina.
Greek-American
homemade greek sucks
more broke than a 3rd world country like Argentina
swimming back home from the FIBA Euros
They are willing to have Huertas' balls in their mouths.
This post must be the most idiotic post in years. Please save it into your computer.
C'mon. Spanoulis would probably start. I love to have spanoulis, he's a great player.
17% shooter from 3 point land (at least in the NBA). I think even Sanchez can do better than that, and he sucks at shooting. This is what we're talking about.
And you know how dependent ARG was on the 3 pointer.
He's a scrub, that's why he never made it in the NBA.
Come on, who would you take?
