Let us bring our best players (not just our good players) and we'll see who wins.
No Shaq, no Kobe, no Iverson, no Allen, no Garnett...etc. | |

No Shaq, no Kobe, no Iverson, no Allen, no Garnett...etc. [quote/] Bring it on!! But seriously, WTF is up with you guys? For the U.S. not to be there, and us, playing without our ONLY NBA player (Sean Marks, Miami Heat - probably never heard of him) to be in the semis is freakin' amazing! Just shows what playing with heart and a little cunning can do (but don't worry, we'll probably get squashed by Yugoslavia - you'd better hope we do, else we'll never, ever shut up about this!!!). | |

The best basketball players are in the NBA's ranks. Most players from other countries couldn't hang there. But non-American players are getting better. At least as shooters if nothing else. This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes. | |

No Shaq, no Kobe, no Iverson, no Allen, no Garnett...etc. I was surprised none of these guys decided to play, including Duncan, Carter, Webber, Alonzo, Pippen. Francis, Spree, Allen Houston, or even Marbury. It's all about the $$ nowadays, nothing more. | |

In about 7 weeks the NBA season will start. Some players, like Shaq, aren't healthy so they couldn't play if they wanted to. Webber and Iverson have been having legal troubles this Summer, so I'm sure they have other things on their minds.

Maybe Team USA's losses will motivate some of our better players to join next time. Still, almost every player on the US Squad was an all-star...save Raef LaFrenz. No execuses for losing. They were all probably too busy gettin' blunted. | |

I think it all comes down to which team has more pride in pulling on their country's uniform. I guess the players from the US didn't have their mind on the job. | |

I think you mean Deutschland. And BTW, we didn't lose, we got an old fashioned ass whuppin' !! We stank!! But if Sean Marks hadn't been poked in the eye twice by a cheatin' ass Argentine in an early round game, boy would things have been different. Actually it's all the fault of that prick Riley. Marks wanted to play but good ol' Pat Riley nixed it. Thanks, you Bastard! | |
