I love the hate you guys give the U.S. team.Man i'm loving all the arrogance i've seen in the eyes of the U.S. team players and in mostly of the Americans. It's the same. It's that thing that made people hate U.S. team. It's not Bush, it's not Iraq, it's not jealousy, it's not other shit. It's simply that. In 1992 you were a team of legends, and nobody dissed you, nobody even looked your players in their eyes, cause they were scared. But now, those nobodies are acting EXACTLY like the original Dream Team: non sleepin in the Olympic's Village, not living with the other athlets, acting like Hollywood stars, disrespecting other players (Iverson: "who's Pozzecco?". The day after Pozzecco destroyed him in USA-Italy), not even knowing a single name of other players, blaming the referees, adding lame excuses.All we needed was one simple person to play, and he was but a little court case got in the way. 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.For real. But it's the same thing for every team. I mean Serbia needs Divac and Stojakovic, Lithuania miss Sabonis and Ilgauskas, etc. I'm not saying they are as good as Kobe and Shaq, but they are as important as Kobe and Shaq for their team. Nobody is bitching about it. Only Americans are bitching about Shaq not giving a fuck about U.S.A. and Kobe being caught in a criminal trial. Man what i'm saying is that now your level is drastically decreased since 1992. In 1992, you could let Jordan sit in the bench for 40' and have Drextler destroying everybody. Or Olajuwon sit down and have Barkley or Malone to destroy everyone. Shit Leattner as a starter was enought for you to win it all. Now you're saying stuff like "We miss Kobe and Shaq", "we miss Michael Redd", etc.. I'm saying something is different. And it's too obvious to discuss about it, isnt it?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.That's what i'm saying, man!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.That's what i'm talking about! You need the superhero..
Its funny that people pray for U.S.A's downfall.. a team thats comprised of rookies and people who have never been to the Olympics besides Tim Duncan.. The team of '92 had icons and greats, Larry Bird, Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Charles Barkeley, Karl Malone, Patrick Ewing, David Robinson... so these two teams are basically incomparable.No. It's not the team that's different. It's the quality of the game that's different.Jordan > KobeDrextler > T-MacL.Bird > OdomKarl Malone/C.Barkley > Duncan (that Malone was more dominant that todays Duncan in international game)P.Ewing/D.Robinson/H.Olajuwon > Shaq (them all, 3 of them, were better than today's Shaq. At least cause they were 3)M.Johnson/J.Stock > Magic.C'mon, i CAN compare that team with today's best players. That team was better not only of this wack US selection, but of todays ALL-NBA team. By far. That's what i'm talking about.This is a good team as long as they stick together and play great defense in which they have shown great spurts. In any kind of sport, any team can be beaten on any given nite, for instance Angola almost beat Puerto Rico who beat USA and Angola hasnt won a game... Honestly if the USA sent Shaquille Oneal, Jermaine Oneal, Ben Wallace, Rasheed Wallace, Kevin Garnett, Tracy Mcgrady, Jason Kidd, Michael Redd, Kobe Bryant, Paul Pierce, Baron Davis, Ray Allen, and Kenyon Martin do you think anyone could actually compete, but due to the grueling 82 game season, most of these players are either injured or too tired to involve themselves into the Olympics.No. I dont think anybody in the world can compete against them. Only an European selection, maybe. But get ridd of that lame 82 games excuse. In Italy they play like 40 games of regular season, 15 games of play offs plus 10-20 other games of Euroleague, plus 5-6 games for the Italian Cup. And there's a big big difference: here if you arrive in the last positions, you retrocede to the inferior league (like from NBA to CBA). So you have triple the pressure for example T-Mac has.Its not even that the USA team is that bad, its just that the world is catching up talent wise and basketball is becoming a popular sport, look at the NBA it has a fine amount of international athletes.USA will win gold and i said it...........We will see.
but to say that the international players are better than the Americans LMAO....

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.

Quote from: M Dogg on August 20, 2004, 11:08:17 AMwhen that play is the best player in the world, I think so. 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
when that play is the best player in the world, I think so.

Man, is Ants a hater or what? lol. Sorry dude, but quit w/ the bitching man, lol.
Quote from: Jake La Motta on August 20, 2004, 12:36:27 AMbut to say that the international players are better than the Americans LMAO....No, i said international superstars are more superstars than American players, in this Olympics. For the first time ever, probably.People aint looking forward to see Iverson and Duncan, but Yao and Gasol. Get it? They are the superstars.But it doesnt necessary means they're better.
