No offense to the European game, but it sucks donkey balls. It's boring, and when compared to a true American Dream Team, they got whopped by an average of 40 points. I agree with Javier, we need to have players stay in college, so they can devolpe, instead of do a few moves to get in the NBA. Or players are not ready to be in the NBA, let alone the world game. I still like the NBA champion idea, but if not, well, fuck it, get some real players. Too bad we only had one Dream Team, I still don't know how anyone could ever play against the 3 greatest players ever. We have Kobe, Shaq, and Duncan, and all we have playing is Duncan.
Oh, and for Shaq winning all the titles, He would too in Europe. When we had Shaq in the national team, he dominated the other countries like he was Godzilla in Japan. It's Shaqzilla!!! Shaqzilla!!!

The problem with the US team is that all the players who were selected didn't want to play for one reason or another...Only two players remain from the players originally selected (and one of them isn't even American): Iverson & Duncan...That's why the team is so shitty...LOL.

i wondered if that was the case.. perhaps next time there will be more pressure for them to play if the US loses.

it wont. It sucks to knock this team. Like it was said earlier, the only two that SHOULD be there are Duncan and Iverson. None of the other selected players came. Give props to those two for actually putting themselves aside and comin to play. Everyone else who turned it down are fuckin pussies.

Here you can stop Duncan and everybody with zone, 3pts, double-triple teams, half pressure, Centers shooting from 3pts, pick 'n' rolls.. In America? Shaq is enought to win a title. Wack. The only team i've seen playing European style was been Detroit. Great team (i gotta admit it) with no real "superstars" but with that European style, you know, playing like a TEAM, with great defence, great karma. In fact they are world champions.

lol. Shaq is coo and all...but "enough to win a title"? Cmon, dont be stupid. Shaq didnt win a title before he came to the Lakers...and wont win one now either. So dont say he can win it alone. He looks good some games, bad some games...just like every other player. Despite what u might think, he doesnt REALLY have an S on his chest. And i havent seen the teams in the Olympics really STOPPING Duncan. He's getting alot of the shots he wants, just like alot of players. Thats not stopping somebody. Its up to them to knock down the shots. He has been the only real consistent player. Iverson has had some good games too. But nobody else is stepping up at all.
