    Is this guy for real?






    Do not worry. I'm not hating NBA. I love NBA man.
    My problem with usa basketball is their basketball arrogance. When Larry and Gregg were coaches it looked diferently. But few guys are pissing me off. Like most real bball fans. So you know.
    I just wanted to provoke some of the posters etc. I do things like that.
    Another thing is that I use dangerous sarcasm.

    That is it.

    Be well


    So basically you are saying:

    Is this guy for real? --->( ! I cant believe this guy owned me twice in one thread)



    --->(How do I respond without looking like more of a jackass?)


    Do not worry. I'm not hating NBA. I love NBA man. --->(Ok...I admit I am a hypocrite)

    Another thing is that I use dangerous sarcasm. --->(Just ignore me I often talk out my ass)

    That is it. --->(Please dont call me out anymore)

    Be well --->(I promise to stop talking about Team USA, the U.S., and the NBA)

    look at it this way, let's just have a "WORLD LEAGUE"( imagine that, a WORLD CHAMPION)... everyone play a season, however many games within their own country and have the pro answer to March Madness in April, May or June.... that would make one of a "BRACKET"....

    Just one word about 'We didn't bring our top players".
    1) Wade, Lebron, Melo, Howard are not that bad...
    2) Where are Shaq,TD, KG, Iverson? I'd love to see a real dream team again.
    But TD and Iverson were here during the last olympics and it didn't change anything.
    You can only have five players on the ground at the same time. So it is quiet useless to overload the team with talent. The only star I would have had to the team is Ray Allen to give USA some 3pt consistency against zone (and of course Bruce for defensive intensity).
    The actual US roster is way more talented that any other one. USA just need team chemistry not additional stars.
    FIBA is all about the team. That is what the greek coach said "Basketball is not just about dribles and shoots and we prove it".
    3) Spain has destroyed the greeks with Gasol out.
    4) No greek player is that amazing but the greek team is great.

    So basically you are saying:

    You are not very bright or respectful, aren't you? Poland rules, and you are a newbie.
    I'm pretty confident i already posted about your "USA haters" team.

    How do you actualy define "talent" in basketball?

    Better in 1 on 1?
    Jumping higher without the ball or/and with the ball?
    Bigger biceps?
    Better ii 2 on 2?
    ..
    ..
    Better in 4 on 4?
    Better in 5 on 5?

    How would you measure "talent" in Basketball?

    That's an ununswered question in a competiotion like that. You can say that one is more skilled then the other, but still it is a team sport.

    The usa squad are better indywidualy whan it comes to athletic possibilieties or 1-1 play. But how to comapere them to the player who are more usefull in a team concept.
    But damn - you can have many eam concepts...

    I wonder the answer

    It's not always about talent. There are other factors that play an important role. Determination, fearlessness, will to win, intelligence.
    It's not about trying to get a new shoe contract in China when you don't really give a whether your team wins or looses.

    According to LeBronze, as soon as he heard that the WC was going to be in Japan, he jumped on it, for business. That's right, he went to Japan to sell himself and his shoes/clothes since basketball is getting more popular in Asia.

    Speaking about "Lebronze" I saw a photo of Chapu Nocioni, trying to kill Le Bronze and held by one of US Players. LeBronze looked afraid.

    What happened?

    Circus.

    Jumping higher without the ball or/and with the ball?

    Track and field.

    Bigger biceps?

    Better ii 2 on 2?
    ..
    ..
    Better in 4 on 4?
    Better in 5 on 5?

    Got it.

    How would you measure "talent" in Basketball?
    Winning a playoff game by blocking the shot of someone 15 cm taller than you in the last seconds,
    after scoring ZERO points.

    That's talent.

    Did you see that on the USA Team?

    In FIBA, the best team usually wins, in the NBA not at all.

    Disagree.

    In FIBA, the refs are mostly in the background, in the NBA they take the spotlight.

    Disagree.

    In FIBA, everything happens much faster, a 9 pt lead is huge, in the NBA there are so many timeouts, and game stoppages, the players have plenty time to gather their thoughts.

    Agree. And all those timeouts are dead boring.

    In FIBA, individual talent does not give too much an advantage, the NBA is all about individual talent.

    Agree. I wonder when they will finally switch to a bunch of one-on-one contests.

    IMO the NBA is mainly for "entertainment", marketing, selling t-shirts, etc

    Correct.

    but when you really wanna know which team is really the best, FIBA > NBA
    It seems so. They are bocoming two separate sports.
    The annoying thing is to hear that the team winning the NBA Finals is dispatched as World Champion.
    I guess they mean of NBA-type basketball.

    That's just what Americans think...


    World Champion Miami Heat!!!!! (even though USA hasn't won gold in a while, and aside from Toronto, who did Miami have to play ever outside the US???)

    World Champion Boston Red Sox!!! (whenever that was, I could care less about baseball) Wait a minute, USA didn't even win the World Baseball Classic???

    Mikey, there is no question all Americans do not think that way (and you are living proof of it). But you have to admit a large number of Americans (I do not know how many) do think that way.

    So it is all in winning a game? BB game? Like WC final?
    No, I did not see that on USA team in semifinal against Greece. They have some blocks, 3pts, even a lot of dunks but....they loose a game
