They just wanted you to be able to break in your new sports room in style.
Is this the summer rec league for countries or what? It's not the olympics, so wgaf?
Dude, these NBA players are sacrificing the future of their franchises for nothing.
I don't know why it's even on TV.
BS.

I agree, I have never, or will ever support the decision for any Spur to play in any summer games. It is just stupid and doesnt benifit the Spurs in any way. All it does is burn out the player so that they have nothing left during the playoffs.
I only wish that the Spurs rivals have as many players in the summer games as possible
Sequ, you are absolutely right. It's a crime. We should play against each other so Slovenia could really beat the USA in style.Any you guys are lucky, you could have the Little Man of the Wayans brothers to play the point.
These people are compe ion junkies and want to compete at a high level, even in the offseason? Or they're thrilled to represent the countries of their birth? (as i would be)
They like creating fodder for bored NBA fans to lambast against?
Any of these answers are sufficient for me.
Don't watch it, Sequ. Just go back to watching your figure skating world championships.
WTF are they skating for?
i get what they're skating for, but whats with the clothes and music? what does that have to do with sport?
These are all very interesting questions. I got another one:
Why do they breath? It's all very mysterious..
But serious, u can look at it as preparations for the olympics. The teams can't just show up there and play every four years.. players need more games together.
Well this is just my conspiracy theory.
It is BS.
When supposedly the NBA is your number 1 goal in your career, and a said team plays you 11 million, you commit by ing off in the offseason getting hurt like Parker, Like Ginobili WILL.
The teams need to start putting there ing feet down.
The ignorance is in full force in this thread.
They are playing to see what country in the world is the best at basketball.
this thread demonstrates the lowering of American IQ's. I am sometimes mystified at my fellow countrymen. It appears to them that all in life is $ and when you pay someone you basically own their existence. I thought slavery was abolished. Boy I wonder if Cav fans and Heat fans are livid about Lebron and Wade? No, they're probably not. Because you see they are are playing for the US. It's the old double standard combined with cultural imperialism.
I bet Cav fan and Heat fan would definately pissed if their franchise players broke a finger on their shooting hand.this thread demonstrates the lowering of American IQ's.

Especially a season ticket holder who pays a disgusting amount of money to watch them play and then be exhausted or hurt during the season.
Id have no problem with that.They are playing to see what country in the world is the best at basketball.
If I was a team owner Id say do it without the players I pay freakin 11 million a year to.
if you don't support team's policy you can always boycott them.
Hey if yu were a high ranking FIBA official and could make millions, live like a king off the revenue, while someone else footed the bill for the high priced labor and took all the risks why the wouldn't you do it?
Do something with your life dude.
NBA is not everything. Your TV set is not everything. Your couch is not everything. Hamburgers are not everything.
A player should never be questioned whether he wants to play for his country. FIBA, FIFA and other world sport organisations with IOC are just superior. Sports are not meant for money, they are meant for recreactional reasons. So owner of a team has no decision over who will attend the tournament.
It is similar wil football, where players get too injured, FIFA's tournament is never altered, but the leagues calendar shortens.
On the other hand you have bussinesmen like Shaq, who decides that taking part in a tournament instead of endorsments doesn't hold up. But that is allright. But no coach or club managment can say something like that instead of him or try to write in something as proposterous in a contract.
Only fans who don't buy players jerseys couse he didn't show up in the Olympics, can motivate a bussines-kind-of-player. NBA is just the greatest league. But it doesn't own the sport and it never should.

Why dont you worry about yourself, dude.
Lots of things werent meant for money.Sports are not meant for money, they are meant for recreactional reasons. So owner of a team has no decision over who will attend the tournament.
Get your head out of the freakin clouds.
same with soccer/football, not many clubs like to release players to play international friendlies or matches, cause it is the clubs payin their wages and insurance.
NBA is boring, no passion no tears, no smiles, NBA is just a game...
No, horses, pigs and rooster fights were allways for the money. While no one ever owned the amphiteather.
Or let me be more specific:
Birdcage was always a wrapper.
Supposedly is the key word here. While getting in the NBA is a big goal, I think that for most international players number 1 goal is to be a champion with your national team, representing your country. It`s just that americans somehow don`t understand that...When supposedly the NBA is your number 1 goal in your career
No that distinction goes to Soccer.NBA is boring,
Guess you missed the NBA Playoffs this year.
Talk about ignorant.
WTFNo, horses, pigs and rooster fights were allways for the money
Now were comparing NBA ball to fights?
Good lord.
Then don't accept the big money and don't agree to come to america.Supposedly is the key word here.

THat ing simple.
