Dream team minus Shaq, Kobe, KG, Jason Kidd, TMac etc...
do you actually know who was on the team?? or are you just talking out of your ass??
Dream team minus Shaq, Kobe, KG, Jason Kidd, TMac etc...
Dream Team with Duncan, Lebron, Carmelo, Wade, Amare, Matrix, Iverson, Paul Pierce, Marbury, Jefferson...
Pretty darn good if you ask me...
But not the best so not the Dream Team A team which is what the King fan was saying, and take Duncan really didn't play anyway, the refs saw to that.
More importantly than who was on that team, who wasn't on that team?
Shaq, Kobe, AI, Duncan, KG, T-Mac, Kidd, Vince, C-Web, Ray Allen, Karl Malone, ect.....
Here is the line up of choads they put together to finish 6th in the 2002 world championships, the first time they lost the Argentina:
Team roster
* Elton Brand
* Nick Collison
* Antonio Davis
* Baron Davis
* Michael Finley
* Raef LaFrentz
* Shawn Marion
* Andre Miller
* Reggie Miller
* Jermaine O'Neal
* Paul Pierce
* Ben Wallace
* Jay Williams
Anybody want to call this a "Dream Team" anymore?
Don't post stuff like that Argeis love that they beat "Americas Best"
LeBron, Carmelo, Wade, and Amare hardly even played under Brown in the 2004 Olympics. If you want to stick a feather in your cap because the Argentina national team beat the USA Junior Varsity then go ahead, I'll try and ignore how pathetic you look.
Besides my initial point was before you started busting with pride over Argentina being "the best basketball team in the world" <wink-wink>, was that the NBA champs are better than most the USA national teams not because of talent, but because of chemistry. Team chemistry is something all Spurs fans should know about and truly appreciate.
They wera also coming off their first year in the NBA, minus Amare, it was his second year.
, Marbury belongs on the All-Nightmare Team. Any chance this team had of being called the Dream Team disappeared the moment he showed up.
There is only one Dream Team, and there will never be another. It pisses me off when people are constantly trying to dub every USA basketball team with professionals on it the Dream Team, it just kind of belittles what the real Dream Team was.
they beat all the other countries as well. Maybe the US didn't put together the right team, but Argentina beat everyone they faced. Trying to discount it because of homerism is wrong too. I am American but I give credit to their team. Look at Nocioni, he stepped up against the Heat.
It's not about national pride. I'm not american, but I'm not argentinean either. You started out saying Ginobili sucks, and it was stated that he only is noticed because he plays for the Spurs. I tried to explain to you he didn't only win with this team, but he also beat everyone in Europe to get to the Euroleague and everyone in the world to get the gold medal.
But I guess non of this is important, that he is just a lucky scrub and that the Kings squad is the best in the world. Lucky you.
hehe King fans on a rampage on the site today. pathetic
Dying gasps. Struggling for self worth in the 5 hours remaining before they look into the abyss.
You in' moron, where did I say that Manu sucked? I have never ever said that! He's a fantastic player and I respect the out of his game. Where did I say that he was only noticed because he played for the Spurs? Now you're making up things that I never said? I never said that the Kings were the best team, not even close. I do think that they will make it to a seventh game with the Spurs, that is all I said.
What I don't respect is your opinion, you had your chance to prove if you had any kind of basketball knowlege but you failed miserably! Calling the the 2002 USA world team or the 2004 olympic team the Dream Team! Get a clue hole! If I were you I would stick to soccer.
You need to learn how to in' read before you waste your time watching basketball!
The day I get my self worth from a NBA team, you have my permission to shoot me in the head, twice! For your sake, I hope that isn't where your getting that thimbleful of self worth and confidence that leaps out at me from your post, otherwise you might have to just go drink some bleach when the Spurs end the season on a loss this year.
Discount it because of homerism? I'm a realist, come on how about you get real too? Go ahead and suck the whole Argentinan team off for being the second best basketball country in the world if you want. The fact is that USA has the best basketball players in the world, that isn't homerism that is common sense.
Nah, wouldn't drink bleach because then I would be the same color as you after an enema.

"Well, I appreciate the compliment. I just joined and have been reading this forum just to see what "the other side" thinks and most of you have intelligent posts about the games and what's going on.
Also, let me say that no matter what the outcome to this series is, your team gave alot of Spurs fans some sleepless nights and heartburn. To come back and get into the playoffs and take it right to the defending champs is saying how much of a turnaround this team has gone through. Keep your heads up and always believe..."
....first spurs fan i've seen who isn't ignorant
There are plenty on here who are very knowledgeable, their posts are just hard to find amongst all the homers and whiners.

The reason why I have such respect for the Kings and their fans
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I think about Sacramentio, I think about San Antonio.
For many years, San Antonio and their fans would get heartbroken in the playoffs, many times by the Lakers.
We would be insulted by the Lakers and by Phil Jackson.
Deep down, every year, Spurs fans would grimmace when the playoffs would begin. We knew something would happen. The over-the back pass by Rod Strickland against Portland. The 0.4 against the Lakers.
Way too many to recall.
Finally, after we acquired Tim Duncan, we were able to get over the hump. We could savor ultimate victory--NBA Championship.
Still, even after 3 NBA les, most Spurs fans would tell you that we felt little respect from the media. It seems like if LA was not in the playoffs, people would deride us as being "boring."
Spurs and their fans had to learn to believe in themselves and to get respect from within--not to expect to get it from opposing teams or coaches or the media.
We got used to being ridiculed by Laker fans--we are called so many names by the Lakers, it has become comical. we are being called hicks. We are called ks (slang for Hispanic). They call us " s." You name it--Lakers have called us the most perverted names.
When Phil Jackson made the comment about our championship in 1999 (said it should have an asterick because it was a shortened season due to the strike), Laker fans loved it. To this day, they refer to our championship as the asterick le.
I see a lot of resemblance between what we have been through--and still go through, and the Kings. From the heartache, to the lack of respect, to the disgusting ridicule heaped by the Lakers and their fans.
This is just a game. It feels nice to win. But the world is a much bigger place. The game gives us a chance to get our minds off of the problems of the world. And as much as it hurts to lose in the playoffs, after all, its just a game.
I know the children in Sacramento loves the Kings the same way the kids in San Antonio loves the Spurs.
What I like about the Spurs is the character of the squad. Pop does a really good job working with the players--he loves to talk basketball and doesn't mind praising the opponent. Right now, he is sky high about the Kings. So is Duncan and Manu.
With that having been said, Sacramento, I am going to sleep. It is 1:24 a.m. in San Antonio. I couldn't sleep and decided to do some reading before going to bed.
I'll be watching the game Friday night just like you will. I have already braced myself for a loss--Arco is sucha great place for the Kings. You have so much to be proud of--the way you help the Kings is textbook example of how passion from your fan base can lift an athlete to soaring heights.
I have come to enjoy reading your newspaper and reading your forum.
You're about as funny as down syndrome.
Pathetic is what you see when you take a leak.
I often wonder why some reporter didn't say "Phil, if it was such a damn easy road to the trophy, why didn't you win it?"When Phil Jackson made the comment about our championship in 1999 (said it should have an asterick because it was a shortened season due to the strike), Laker fans loved it. To this day, they refer to our championship as the asterick le.
That should have shut that goateed er up...
]....first spurs fan i've seen who isn't ignorant
so the rest of us who have given the Kings their due credit are still ignorant?
The Kings
they are a 2 trick pony
yeah, just like Americans always like to use that excuse, right?
