France in final VS Espana!!!!

[will_spurs]

Even the most uneducated people know that Argentina's sports systems use fake do ents to bring in players from Italy and Germany to compete for their "national" teams.

You must be one of the "most uneducated" to believe that... as I explained in another thread, they don't even need to do that: anybody can notice that most players from Argentina are also citizens of Spain or Italy, through their ancestry (they only have to apply for citizenship to get it), which opens the doors of the European market for them. They were still born and raised in Argentina, though.

In any case, this is about France and Spain, not Greece.

A realistic goal for the Olympics is to be the third best team behind Spain and USA. If they are healthy, they have a real shot at getting the bronze medal.

To be at the level of Spain, France will need to have a bigman good on both sides of the court. Noah, Turiaf and Florent Pietrus suck on Offense. Traorés sucks on Defense. Diaw is Diaw.
Séraphin and Mahinmi are the best canddidate sot be that good 2 way bigman. Like you, I would give an edge on Séraphin even more because he will play in Spain during the lockout and these young bigs need to play. Ajinça is also worth keeping an eye on because of his huge upside.

The guys that are the core of this team as far as I'm concerned are Parker, Noah, Batum and Gelabale. I don't include Diaw because he's just so lazy and scared that I often think the team would be better without him on the floor. Against Spain he again passed on open shots, which lead to either contested shots for his teammates, or to difficult situations that ended in a turnover. He has flashes of brilliance, but not quite enough of them for the role he is given in the French NT.

Second tier players, who should get selected next year for the Olympics, are Flo Pietrus (invaluable on D), De Colo (very good as shooting guard, not so good as spot-up shooter) and Traoré (good offensive spark at times).

I really liked what Kahudi and Tchicamboud brought to the table. Séraphin and Albicy are still way too raw for this level. They seem to come into a possession with one play in mind, and can't adapt to the situation.

Hopefully Turiaf can play next year, he would bring a lot of energy. Pietrus could bring a bit more D, too. Not sure if any other should be invited at this stage.

Like several others in this thread I am not a fan of Tony Parker and never claimed otherwise. I'm not a master of English either but you and that other Frenchie (Brazil?) need to work on your reading comprehension. I had to correct both of you guys, pathetic.

Carry on bashing Greece.

May you remember me what I misunderstood ? I think my reading comprehension is perfectly fine tbh.

Argentina's players were almost all born in Italy and Germany idiot. This is common knowledge and only the biggest dumb asses around are not aware of it.

Argentina and Turkey use fake do ents for their players. Everyone knows it. But if the country says it, FIBA has to allow it.

It's the same with China using fake dates of birth.

It's shocking the lack of basic world knowledge you have. Even the most uneducated people know that Argentina's sports systems use fake do ents to bring in players from Italy and Germany to compete for their "national" teams.

Then again you claimed Wikipedia as a trusted source for birth places, which shows your IQ cannot possibly be above 70.

a joke just flew right over your head, but hey you're a fellow American so I forgive you.

Prove Argentina players weren't born in Argentina.

You wrote that I put TP's stat up against the MVP when in fact I put up the stats on the player TP defended. I already replied about it and you even wrote a reply to that reply; feel free to check yourself.

And now time to play the game:

"Italiano Argentine" national team
can't produce any home grown players for the national team
have to steal them all from Europe

ty homegrown Greek players

[pass1st]

A Greek an Italian and a Frenchman are walking down the street in a village and they see a goat that gets stuck on a fence

The Italian goes first “Oh, You don’t know what I would have done if that goat was Gina Lollobrigida

“You know what” goes the French “I was thinking the same thing but I was imagining Bridget Bordeaux”

The Greek looks at them as if they were crazy and he replies” Oh, You don’t know what I would have done if it was dark”
