@xSmartxAlecx 15 NBA players against 4 NBA players (Argentina)... and only up 21??? Plus, Argentina has beaten the U.S. twice before. U.S. even lost to Greece once, 0 NBA players! That's something to think about! How can 15 of the world best, lose to teams with 5 or less NBA players?
@chefdizzy1 Ok, first, There's 6 minutes to go in the 2nd quarter, do they really need to pour it on (like we all know they could). Second, do you really think we CARE about winning the FIBA championship 2006? (this is when they lost to greece). Greece wants to win, that, however, was like a practice game for our team. What I'm trying to say is, the US EASILY is the best team in the world. < Nuff said.
@xSmartxAlecx Those who can pour it on... do! And I never said that the U.S. wasn't the best team, still doesn't change the fact that they've been bitch slapped more times than Rihanna! Argentina, Spain, Greece, Lithuania, Puerto Rico, Russia, etc, etc... U.S. has lost a total of 71 times in all competitions (Olympic Games, FIBA World Championships, FIBA America Championships, Pan American Games, etc, etc...) IMO, a team of NBA players, should NEVER LOSE! Not as great as you think. NUFF SAID!
@chefdizzy1 There's this thing called SPORTSMANSHIP. Coach K has plenty of it, and wants his players to have some too, so if his team's up 21 points in the 2nd quarter, he's telling them NOT to pour it on. and as far as the losses, generally when the US loses, it isn't even playing its best players! sure we have the most players who play in the NBA, but that doesn't mean the actually PLAY better! Do you think BRIAN SCALABRINE is better than Daniel Hackett? (Italian PG) Scalabrine rides the pine
@xSmartxAlecx As far as the "sportsmanship" comment... that's just bull! Not buying it! Dream Team was full of great sportsmen, they trashed everyone they played, by 40-50 point margins! Why would the U.S. not want to pound a team that had beaten them twice, making them look ridiculous? NBA is a watered down version of what it once was, full of so called stars, who are lazy... and do not work on their games. Carmelo Anthony is a prime example. The rest of the world caught up... ;-)
@chefdizzy1 Whatever, I do agree in a sense that the world is catching up, but nowadays, if you pick a team apart by 40-50 points, you look like the bad guy, and the US can't really afford to look even more like a bully, since our world image has been bad for quite some time now. And by the way, the US has handed teams that have beaten them PLENTY of beatings throughout history. I mean, if we've only lost to a team TWICE in our entire history, that's saying something IMO.
@xSmartxAlecx Sports has nothing to do with politics... again, I'm not buying what you say. I simply feel that the new stars of the league do not have the quality and talent to blow out teams. And you can see that, it's clear as day when you watch team U.S.A. play. Also, it says a lot, when you lose to teams with no NBA players, or teams with fewer than 5 NBA players... being that you are featuring a team of 15 NBA superstars! ;-)
theres plenty of talent in the nba today , its just that the leagues around the world are developing better players, back in the 90s the international players were not very good as they are today, theres more and more coming into the nba with alot of skill. dirk,pau gasol, ginobli, yao ming etc....back then international players would even ask for autographs before the game even started lol
@The8310353 I never said that there wasn't plenty of talent in the NBA... what I said was that the NBA stars of today posses sub-par work ethic. And yes, the rest of the world has caught up. So basically, we agree, we are saying the same things, with different words. :)
@chefdizzy1 while Hackett is a star! "But scalabrine plays in the NBA... he is better!!!" I don't think sitting on the bench of the Celtics makes Scalabrine super awesome. In fact, it makes him pretty bad. Hackett could probably start for half the teams in the league, such as.. the Bobcats, the Mavericks, The grizzlies, and so on. I'm just saying, just because a player doesn't play in the NBA, you think he must be a lower tier player, which is not the case.
@xSmartxAlecx Americans claim to have the best league in the world, with the best players in the world... if that claim is anywhere near true, then yes, I do believe, and I do expect that the players who play in NBA, are the best basketball players in the world. And if they are not, they should be! As far as not playing the best players in competitions, well, that's just a bad move IMO, cause when a team ends up smacking you down, you look stupid, being that basketball is your sport!
@chuydrum1 I can and I'd love it, but I don't see it happening, Orlando isn't gonna trade away it's franchise player for Pau and Bynum or Pau and Odom, besides he's one of the last few true centers left in the league so I'd be surprised if it happened..I think we need a PG more than a center anyway
that dont mean shit lebrons better but rondo got more rings celtecs better ten cavs thats why lebrons better but kobe got more rings he has a all around better team but 2011 lets see whos going to win the west confrince has no commpition so the lakers are probably going to the finals but i think phenix can give them a hard time
@kingbruno617 I know its your opinion, but I have to disagree with you about competition in the West. In the past there are better teams in the West before the free agents this year cuz look how tightly contested it was 1-8 seat had 50+ wins compare to the East had like only 4-5 teams with 50+ wins. I would like to see LA in the FInals with Miami if they get there.
the thing about kobe's passes is that their are sooo perfectly placed... this one went right into dwights hands... and he also did a no look pass to odom... (where he threw it over his head backwards) perfect pass
che yanki pone el tapon que le hicieron a kobe... puto todabia tenes la bronca de la olimpiada y de como nos los garchamos de parado... sos amargo boton.
Nobody cares who they don't like when its USA. Whether you like LeBron or Kobe they're both amazing.

kobe passes when he knows he can trust the teammates to score.
Dwight Howard is a weapon and Kobe knows it.
Kobe puts the Lakers on his back and scores the way he does because he knows he has to for the lakers to win.
Here, he can use his passing because its a true team effort.
