Then don't give them big money and don't invite them to america.
That ing simple.
Is the same old story.
Players make their living out of some sport and have lots of fun.
Bored people demand players to entertain them.
Simple put, is like if your boss asked you to not go out on weekends because you will get a cold and will miss some days of work or won't work at 100%, etc, etc.
The employers may cry all they want, but luckily there are still some rights for the people.
Then don't give them big money and don't invite them to america.
That ing simple.
Guess you missed the soccer WC this year.No that distinction goes to Soccer.
Guess you missed the NBA Playoffs this year.
Talk about ignorant.
Talk about ignorant....
How about american players you dumbass.
As usual for ignorants like you, trying to blame on the immigrants.
No i watched.Guess you missed the soccer WC this year.
The 1-0 snore fests were too much for me to bear.

Hey, after the experience with Beno Udrih, Scola, and now Javtokas, I wouldn't have drafted another euro for the rest of existence.
But you euros should just chill out, your as usual, wrong.
Then you should know, that many many millions of people disagree with you.........No i watched.
Trying to blame immigrants?How about american players you dumbass.

I blame nothing on immigrants, immigrants are what made this country great.
What about american players?
If your trying to make me sound like a hypocrit, you can't.
I was 100% dead set against ANY Spur playing in this fiasco.
Now with Parker hurt, its proven my ing point.
But keep talking out of your ass like you know what your talking about.
It's much better if NBA players get injured in pick-up games down at the Fonde rec center in Houston. Those injuries heal much quicker than FIBA injuries.
Meanwhile, Sequ once again starts stuff and crawls out from under the pile with an impish smirk.
Not that you are saying that owner should ban a player representing a country? So he own his employee like ... yes a horse owner.
Hey, it's like the Admiral who hardly ever raced the Seabiscuit couse of the owner who didn't like the chances. And I can find even better examples. Basketball players are not a meat or a pet and NBA is not equal to World Cup, otherwise we wouldn't have this discussion.
UEFA's Champions League is like the NBA (not really but, at least similar). Any season the games have more ratings than the NBA playoffs. But World Cup is still the greatest tournament in the sport. The key word is WORLD. not national. WORLD.
UEFA is a Continental alliance. That means as big as the NBA since you have Canada involved. UEFA can follow bussiness logic in making a tournament interesting and clubs happy. But WORLD CUP IS A WORLD CUP.
And so Playoffs can be interesting, NCAA true and inspiring, but that is not more important than an entire world competing in one discipline. And I know you are not a child, so you DO understand that simple logic.
Sequ is my favourite poster. People take him way too serious.

And I bet that nobody woud give a s**t if you break something.

I don't understand TPark on this subject at all.
In several other threads he talks about the pride of America. He talks about go get 'em Team USA, rah rah. But in this thread, he doesn't understand players having pride and desire to play for their national team.
Sorry TPark but you are the ultimate hypocrite in this thread.
To answer Sequ's question, to a lot of teams. the WC is as important as the Olympics.
WTF are they playing for? Pride. It's that simple.
I root for the team.In several other threads he talks about the pride of America. He talks about go get 'em Team USA, rah rah. But in this thread, he doesn't understand players having pride and desire to play for their national team.
Sorry TPark but you are the ultimate hypocrite in this thread.
Yes no bones about it.
Do I think pros should be there? Not at all.
It should be the best amateur players, cause thats what the Olympics is, and this is a carry over, olympic compe ion.
Not at all a hypocrit.
And I bet that nobody woud give a s**t if you break something
I have nothing to do with it, stay on topic 5 year old.

You do nothing to contend the point of players that get paid by NBA teams, big money, shouldn't play.
Nothing.
Im sure Clipper fan wouldn't be happy.Photo of Sam Cassell and T.J. Ford playing at the Fonde. Photo was taken this summer.
THere isn't a Raptor fan so its hard to gauge the give a level of them.
TPark, yes you are a hypocrite. You constantly talk about national pride. So why do you think these guys don't have a right to play for their national teams?
You act like if they weren't playing for their national teams, they'd be laying at home in a bubble not getting hurt.
You don't think Bruce Bowen is going to play basketball every day even though he got cut. Of course he is. You don't think that NBA players play scrimmage games all summer long where they can get hurt. Of course they do.
I like watching NBA players in these games. It adds alot to the excitement. At the same time i would be pissed if Dirk somehow got hurt. I think the choice should be between the player and the team. The team that overpays that player should have a say in whether or not they risk injury in these games. But this compe ion is a great way to get better, and you can also argue that a player could get hurt just as easily in pick-up games at a gym. When it's all said and done it should be between the player and their respective team.
Why create lame threads with little substance to watch a couple dozen people call you an idiot?
Amen to that. The NBA isnt the be all and end all of basketball. It is the best and most exciting league but not the onle basketball compe ion that is important.
Its just ur unfortunate yet typical American ignorance that makes some people think their country and leagues are all that matters.
BINGO!!
Where was this uh.... lets say 5 or so years ago?
Hey blow me....
I don't see any reason why a real NBA should participate in these bull games.
I don't see these dudes playing in the summer leagues....
Maybe to Slovenia...
The Americans and the Argentineans are concerned about the Olympics.
The Americans don't want to lose again because they were embarassed last time.
It would've been better to throw a college team in there, let them get blown out and the USA would've had a reason.
Now, when they drop again, there is no reason, its just a stupid idea.
The basketball World Championships have been going on since 1950.
Where have you been?
You didn't watch the US lose in Indianapolis in 2002?
