How many minutes did Hermann play in the Gold Medal Game?
How many of the 8 games did he even play in?
How many guys on Team Argentina played less? Less minutes, fewer games? Out of all the guys that actually saw court time that is.
Excuse me for overlooking his Olympic MVP.
I'll be back in a bit to collect the apologies...starting with Solid D....the Argentinians can line up afterwards.

Chain sufficiently pulled.
I was actually thinking about how the "Derrick McKey" type player Pop is looking for might be found in Europe. I've looked through the NBA free-agency lists and I don't see anything even close.
Are there any Toni Kukoc type players out there? 6-foot-9 or 6-foot-10 perimeter bigmen who can shoot, pass and just stay out of the way.
There's gotta be a couple in Europe who fit the bill.
Yes, He made significant contribution in the Olympic games. He also played aggressively and seems to be the one with the greatest heart. Too bad he is inconsistent. Otherwise, I want him to play for SPURS.
You guys want to pile on an act like he was Jordan...
Tearing up Team USA proves nothing, it's puts him on the level of Bacile or whoever that Italian guard was that tore us a new one...everyone in that touranment tore us up, but none as badly as the FIBA C team refs...
When I said factor I was referring to the Olympics over-all and most specifically the Gold Medal Game, which obviously I did watch, at least moreseo than anyone else in this thread...
He wasn't that big of part of their championship as anything other than symbolically, his tragedies being a rallying point for his mates. He didn't even get off the bench in half the games, including the Final.
You completely ing misspelled "I apololgize for not checking my facts more thoroughly". For a guy whose board cred is almost entirely tied up in his factually based objective type posts...I think you just played some of the most unsolid D of your posting career.
Disappointing.
whottt, have a beer.
No, Oberto played in just about every game...till Marbury broke his hand.
whottt is back (full throttle)
Herrmann didnt play in the gold medal game.

He had 8 points 6 rebounds in 17 minutes against Greece. Nocioni had 7 & 5 in 18 mins.
All them Argentinians look the same.
No...if they speak Spanish they all look the same, non-whiteAnd don't give me any Hermann the German eitherrr.
right hurr?
whottt, you posted some stupid , but this takes the cake, and that's a BIG ING CAKE. Of course he's ing German. Germans and Italians fled Europe in droves to South America after WWII, for reasons that may not bear close scrutiny.No...if they speak Spanish they all look the same, non-white
Geezus H LMAO. Yo gotta be ing kidding me. Pleasse tell me you are joking.
I knew you were stupid exs...but I just never really understood how stupid you truly are until just now.

With an excellent university level education, the citizens of Argentina have quite modern and refined tastes and customs.

Language:
Spanish is the official language of Argentina spoken almost everywhere. But there are still some small immigrant communities that retain their native language as a badge of iden y. Italian is frequently used in some neighborhoods, reflecting the influence of Argentina's single largest immigrant group . In fact, it's not hard to confuse an Argentine with an Italian, as their manner of speaking is quite similar. English, German and French also show their influence in many places of business. There are also about 17 Native American languages in Argentina, but you will have to go a good distance off the beaten path to experience any of them.

Cuisine
Walk into any Argentine restaurant in the world and you will get an excellent selection of grilled meat. Parilla, the Spanish word for grill, is often the word you will find in the name of restaurants in this meat-loving country. In Argentina, you can sample anything from regular steaks to parts of animals that only natives dare to eat such as livers, kidneys, and tongues.
That being said, Argentina is not a vegetarian's nightmare. Italian favorites such as gnocchi are a welcome alternative in many restaurants. Likewise, there are many French, Spanish and German restaurants that are sure to please. Also, in the last few years, vegetarian and organic restaurants have been popping up everywhere.

The History of Argentina
The Building of an Independent Nation
Having become independent, Argentina still remained a large area of land with very few people. The next chapter of Argentine history has to do with numerous "civil wars" within Argentina. At that time the country was broken up in the major urban center of Buenos Aires ruled by fairly organized government and almost a dozen provinces that were controlled by their major land owners. This is the time when the infamous dictator Juan Manuel de Rosas came to power. After many years of oppressive rule by Rosas and by the lessons that the dictator had taught Argentina's citizens, the country was ready to unite into one cohesive unit.
In the years between 1895 and 1912 the population of the country doubled to 7.5 million. Immigration from Europe was the main cause of this growth spurt and the Argentine policy towards immigration was especially welcoming. Starting in 1826 with Bernardino Rivadavia, Argentina's first president, the country has encouraged immigrants to come by giving free passage from Europe, land and even start-up money. By 1914, four-fifth of the Argentine population was immigrant based, consisting of mostly Italian and Spanish people.
The country continues to grow and prosper without many problems until 1930 and the beginning of the world financial crisis. Until 1943 the country experienced a period of military involvement in politics and governing. The military stepped in whenever it felt the government was felt to not be patriotic enough. Fascist-Nazi sympathies ran deep in Argentina and the country did not side with the Allies until the end of World War II.
