you're all a bunch of racists and haters. God Bless America. WE WON! The thing about the "playing together since they were kids" is very right!

[bgdmilos]

usa is just roided monkeys hello!?

[kronz21]

do you not watch the games or something? yes they dunk but its no were near as often.

i think it's just the team around him, true or not hes a great player i mean come on he like is the german team out there.

heart helps but its not not the only aspect, no talent etc no wins.

sure. keep telling yourself that. but make sure to tell that to kobe bryant, dwayne wade & stephen howard as well because they'd disagree & be dead right. dirk nowitzki is a fantastic scorer in the regular season but a bum with no heart when the shots count. you can attempt to argue but i can offer evidence to support my claim; you'll offer conjecture or perhaps, cite the events in january. get real. heart wins playoff series; it always has. not finesse plays & jumpers

[kronz21]

they dunk on break aways but in regular offense not like the nba thats for sure. int basket is more about shooting. who cares were he devolped his game he still doesnt play for usa. dirk is amazing, no heart and a chooker ibeg to differ. yao is one of if not the best center.

coach k! j.kidd is white too

[Nate8Jack]

fixd:

theres a white coach?...

the last time i looked, the us players dunk all over int'l players, nuff said. steve nash is a good player but he developed his game here among american players, dirk nowitzki is a BUM with no heart who chokes in big games, yao ming is an excellent ballplayer that also happens to be 7'6" (being the league's tallest player is helpful) but he also has NO HEART. don't get me wrong, those guys are good but they don't compare to american players. i'm not being elitist, i'm being honest

[kronz21]

it makes it hrder because theres more players in the lane and theres no 3 in the key like in nba rules.

yes but some day other countrys will be produceing that type of talent as well. there are already players like nowitski, yao, nash and other players i cant spell lol

[upabittoolate]

a zone stops people from driving to the hoop? what the hell basketball do you watch? a 'zone' is just a way of doubling up on the best player. but the US has michael redd & thus you have your shooter. either way, the US will ALWAYS have a talent edge. the last time i looked, the great 1's are from the US. air jordan, magic johnson, larry legend, dr j, kareem, admiral robinson,...kobe, amare...i could go on but i only have 500 characters to use
