highhoopz you´re right but various of the players(Calderon,Raul Lopez, Felipe Reyes, Pau, Navarro) have been playing together since the 15 o 16 years old, and were world U18 champions over USA team. Winning is not new to them, in fact, they have won all the titles there are in the International Basket except the Olympic gold. You can get this type of chemistry even with some months of training camp.
i've taken all that out since ur such a nice dood:)sometimes i like to get 2 creative with my rantings,nuthin personal man.being concise is'nt my strong suit some days. Peace out!
thats why they came to the nba to compete with Dwight Howard, Chris Bosh, Lebron James, Kobe Bryant, Dwayne Wade, Carmello Anthony, Chris Paul, Kevin Garnett... to name a few superstars.
And that´s with referees that like nba´s didn´t call not only travelling, Dwight made three second s on defense like 20 times, and a lot of other things that I don´t have to remind you because you all know it well. It was clear that USA had to win the gold, for comercial reasons on china, so they were favored all the tournament, not only against Spain, even against teams that can´t do shit against USA. That stupid american pride of yours is what made you lose at 2004 and 2006.
Spain is the world and Euro champion right now, so show more respect. Kobe and the rest of the so called redeem team know it well, they had to sweat blood to win over a spanish team without Calderon(you know, one of the leagues best pg), with Raul Lopez injured, and with a starting pg 17 years old(Ricky).
I respect Spain and their great players and all, but the States had little time to prepare if you compare them with the Spanish team being together since forever. Sure, USAB tried to give these guys a little more practice time together this time around, but still...it doesn't even compare, be real and reasonable man.
I don´t know what kind of basketball you all play but that is a travel. 3 STEPS(those who say two need to check your eyes) is travelling in Spain, in Poland,in USA, maybe even New Zealand... cmon... I know the NBA almost never calls travel (even if it´s 4 steps) trying to favor the flair of the dunks, but that´s one of the reasons that the NBA is more and more a show than a sport. Ah and USA doesn´t dominate shit, you were bronze on 2006 wchamps and silver on 2004 olympics.
Just like with BRoy up in Portland, scouts questioned his athleticism before the draft and now look what he's done in the league thus far, not too shabby. Nobody's sayin' he's not athletic enough now, in a year or two you'll see the same thing with Harden (nevermind next year, no one is sayin' that now, let alone next season).
What's the difference between Harden and B. Roy? They're both crafty and can get by their man, obviously not like a LBJ, KB24 or DWade, but still...All I'm sayin' is scouts tend to judge a player by the highest standards in the world and don't take into account craftiness and understanding of the game. I've watched a buncha Thunder games and he DOES get by defenders, just not the way the aforementioned elite guys do.
You just said LBJ, KB24, and Dwade can't get by their man? And aren't crafty? Are you a damn moron?
LBJ and Dwade have the biggest athletic ability in the NBA right now, and KB24 is the craftiest player to arguably play the game (I don't think so, but the argument could be made).
Before I found out u were a swell dood i obviously made a quick judgment, as does the rest of the world unfortunately, but thankfully our problem has been solved. Just the 'moron' part w/o u even knowing me that got me pissed, but that's all past now :)
that's actually a common drill for high school b-ball teams, is attacking the basket from outside the 3 point line, and getting to the rim for a layup w/ 1 dribble. yeah a LAYUP, i realize this guy dunked it, but u gotta also realize he's a 6 foot 5 NBA player..
seems like every single good highlight video i go to there's loads of ppl trashin it tryin to say there was a travel or something, GTFO...
dude layup can be taken from the top of the key with no running start what so ever either. dunk is way different. just watch his feet. way more than 2 steps
I love the NBA, but this traveling issue is going too far now! I mean, You can see those three steps a mile away! Who the heck can run half court with one single bounce? C'mon...
I think 99% of refs would catch it even if it is a travel. It was a solid 2 steps in my opinion. If you stop the video when his hand touches the ball, his right foot is in contact with the ground... he then plants his left foot and takes off. All these fuckin YouTube refs are pissing me off.
Lmfao watch it again and tell me wha u think... dumbass... like i said u prolly a fat shit sitting on ure couch and eating shit all day. go play some fukin basketball outside
There's no reason to defend him, just watch. The step count begins after his last dribble which is on his right foot, he then proceeds to step with his left, again with his right, and takes off with his left. It's 3 steps. Big deal, NBA players get away with it every game.
The clip is too fast to see if its a travel or not, and i doub tthe refs would spot that cause they'll be waiting to see that dunk. It's not like we count their steps and miss the dunk.
oh im sorry for saying lol. i dont want to be rude or anything or annoying (kinda like you) but you definetly have too much time. people know what i mean, and it does not harm anybody. and it really should be worth the 20 seconds it took me to write this and the 10 second it took you wo write your stuff. lol.
Nice dunk, without doubt. But is travelling. Someone has said the truth, the NBA is lax on travelling, and with a fair referee USA is incapable of winning Spain.
you people who say travel on every fuckin NBA video dunk just honestly stfu like fuck you guys have like brain damage or somethin like honestly go watch a fuckin hockey or something if you love calling travelling cuz they travel all day on they're skates fuckin homos
it sure looks that way, he also benefitted immensely from KMart's injury as well. What happens if BGriffin comes bcak and tears it up though? Should be interesting...
