On Oberto, Scola, Herman and other herbs...

Hey Dunk, go tell the international press (french, american, spanish) about it.
The 2002 final was robbery. That's my opinion but I don't go poiting guns to the heads of journalists to agree w/me.

PS: dunk, is that u?

Well Athe, the contact existed (altrough it's not the same to see something at film and live in 3D), and the no-call benefited our team. But, robbery? Why? Even losing those finals, the team already fullfiled with the win over the USA team. They started bad that tournament, the expectations ware not that high at that point. A second place would have seen ok, by most. We already had the gold from the previous tournament.

Now, IMO the American media has an agenda, they wouldnt pass the opportunity to say something bad about Serbia. They warent happy with the USA team elimination, either.

I saw various Spanish newspapers and they ware not reporting anything irregular.

Give me a break! so there's no conspiracy unless its against Serbia & Montenegro, then you go all Mel Gibson in "Conspiracy Theory" on us!! That's laughable! I'm not saying there was a plan to help Yogoslavia win, but that non-call is what won the game for you, and there is no two ways about it!

Whatever. But, remember that the US team and media complained about the FIBA refs on the Olympic Games. Duncan was quoted saying that FIBA "sucks". Marbury felt so happy about the situation, that he choosed to break Oberto's hand. Fortunately, they didnt went further in whining, and Oberto recovered from his injury.

But as there is no two ways using that logic, Argentina didnt won the Olympic gold, the polemic calls did it for you.
