You all know who I'm talking about, and right now the world would bow to his feet. Add the MDE, along with Duncan and Iverson now, and already the world looks at the U.S. team different. You guys knock us like our basketball players are getting worst. Your comparing a group of guys who aren't even 25, to fucking legends. Magic, Jordan, Bird, the greatest team that ever was put together. Now every country is catching, that's great. That means basketball is a popular world wide sport. Like baseball, who expects the U.S. to win a medal in baseball when it's our sport. Granted if our team included Bonds and Maddox, then we would be better, but honestly, the best players in MLB are from different countries anyway. So what you have is the sport spreading, and others doing well, that's great for the game. So what if the U.S. ain't doing well. Get over it, I still root for AI to cross over the European players, but I'm an American, born and raised, and I want to see my innercity heros run over the world. If another team wins, fine. But the world should be on Kobe watch, because he was the first to throw his hat in to play, and the first get leave once he catch a case. Take your medal, it's all good. Bring the hate, but it's better for the game if it can be proven the best players don't come from the U.S. The difference, just say Kobe, and you'll see a whole different U.S. team.

Quit whining. Your idol worship continues to amaze me, you must have been one hell of a comic book fan. 1 person would change the whole thing, heh? LOL please. He's a fuckin' crybaby too. You have the strangest way of looking at shit, M Dogg.

when that play is the best player in the world, I think so. Also, I didn't read comic books as a kid... lol. Though I did like the Batman movie :D
I am also saying, other countries doing well is better for the game. With countries like Italy showing that they have great players, that means the game has spread worldwide, and that is a good thing. People are talking though like the U.S. fell off, because our team isn't the 1992 Dream Team. Well in 1992, our starting line up was Magic, Jordan, Bird, Malone and Ewing, with Barkely, Dexler and Stockton coming off the bench. The Dream was in Dream Team II, not the original Dream Team. But to compare the young rookies we sent over there to the Dream Team is just silly. A true NBA Dream Team today would be Kidd, Kobe, KG, Duncan and Shaq, with T-Mac, Carter, AI, Big Ben and crazy Rasheed off the bench. Our players haven't fallen off, granted there is way you can compare our team to the Dream Team, but the Dream Team was the greatest team that could possibly be put together, outside of cloning Wilt Chamberland to start at center. It just so happen all of the greatest players came out of the 80's era, and together you had the perfect team, with Magic leading, Jordan slashing, Bird shotting, and Malone, Barkley and Ewing dominating the paint. Kidd is no Magic, Kobe is no Jordan, KG is comparable to Bird only in the sense that KG could be one of the greats in the very short future, I'll say it, Duncan is better than Malone :'( , and Shaq is better the Ewing. But honestly, we just need Kobe, and it's all good. Kobe trained in Italy, he knows the foreign game, is a student of the game, and I think he would do well against the other countries. He wanted to compete in these games, it was a dream of his. He caught a bad break, and now everyone loses out for it. Imagion the crowds to see Kobe. His the most popular player in the game right now. Yao is a close second, but Kobe is the man. In a few years, Kobe could prove to be the greatest, who knows. But I'm telling you, add Kobe, and the reflection of these games changes.

I know eh? If Garnett was playing, he'd be carrying the team (he's been doing it the last 6-7 years at Minni).
Garnett and James are the two people i was looking forward to watching this Olympics. But now it's Sarunas JASIKEVICIUS and Lebron James ;D
