The point I am trying to make is that, the best of the best could still win the WC 2006.
Players that can not be matched-up, anything less than that will loose to a team of very good players prepared as a true team.
From the list you posted I see 6 very good player (O'Neal Jermaine, Collison, Bibby , Martin Kenyon, Allen, Jefferson Richard), but they are not the best of the best, and added to the other 6 you may fall short. Just my opinion. Any way I am all for the team concept .
Vamos Argentina!!
Wow, this thread must be serious, it got AAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNN NNEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! out of hiding.
And this is news because????
Gutierrez taunting Team USA is like Sean Marks trash talking about the Pistons, or Mengke Bateer about the Nets.
by the lehow can I know if I like the thread if I don't open it??...re
plus who wouldn't open a thread led .... player blasts team USA.
still whoever bothers to listen to that guy's crap must be really bored.
Sup Che, I just heard a speech about you this afternoon.
why do you still have that sig?
that sig rocks. But maybe he's waiting until Darko dunks in an Orlando uniform? don't cross ur fingers
..they won over the U.S. team by a single digit either. it wasn't a blow out, you know.if they do not win all their matches by a 20-point margin, it would be a failure.
oh no, I hope players like this will.
He embarrassed the entire nation for acting like an arrogant bas as he is. For me, win or lose I will always cheer for the U.S. team with or w/o Tim Duncan playing.
If you're a scrub on your team, you shouldn't be talking .
Dumbass.
All the US needed last time to beat Argentina is Shaq. Olberto guarding Shaq is comical.
anybody guarding shaq is comical.
and you could also say, all the Lakers needed to win last year's championship was Shaq
That reads like a potstirring piece. Taken individually and within the context of the different statements, I agree with most of the statements. The Athens USA team was not assembled like a team, wasn't coached like a team, and didn't play like a team. They were subsequently beat by better teams comprised of a lower average talent level.
The statement that NBA players aren't far and away the best in the world is laughable, however.
Yeah, Team USA sucked ass last year. So he can say that the Team USA of now sucks at team play which is absolutly true (i.e See Athens 2004). His statement that the NBA players aren't the best in the world is false though, what I think he's trying to say is that the NBA is becoming more international. I think in time more and more foreign players will come to the game and succeed and maybe even dominate.
Yep. Until ESPN Streetball becomes an olympic event, team USA has to prove they can play team basketball.
As for the NBA becoming more international, since the best team in the NBA is full of international players, that's hard to argue around here.
Love the overstatements in here.
If Team USA had had a chance to play together for one additional month, they would have won the Gold.
That is all.
Something is real and all people watched it through television. The USA team has never played like a team, if they reached to play like a real team, i dont have any doubt, they would be unbeatable.
I agree, but they didn't. They thought they could just assemble with no game plan and no roles for the players. The collective basketball IQ of the dream team made people think that any group of NBA all-stars could walk in and win. It's not surprising that the rest of the world took that as an insult.
I think the at ude of the 2004 team is getting a bad rap.
They knew they couldn't just show up and win. MAYBE they underestimated how much work it would take. But there was a huge improvement just from when they started (remember the loss to Puerto Rico?) and the medal rounds.
The talent gap between the US and the rest of the world has narrowed so much that no matter how dedicated and committed a US team you get, they aren't going to win gold unless they've really had time to play together.
I think part of the US's problem was they were too young.
Carmello mentally cause he pouted like a Radmonovic wannabe.
Lebron? He just wasn't ready yet to help out.
Duncan got ed by FIBA refs.
I think guys like Marbury and Jefferson got too much run.
It was a mess, and only because the team wasn't prepared enough.
That simple.
Did you even watch the games? Lebron played as good as any guard on Team USA not named AI.I think part of the US's problem was they were too young.

If Tim Duncan could have been on the floor for five more minutes they would have won the gold
If youd settle the down for one second.Did you even watch the games? Lebron played as good as any guard on Team USA not named AI.
He wasn't ready to CARRY a team like team USA against the compe ion faced.
He played very well yes, but, him and Wade I just think werent ready in their FIRST olympics.
Once again, if Duncan had been allowed to play, that would've been a different story as well.
