Default What has happened to USA basketball

76ers lost to FC Barcelona when I first read the story, im like soccer team? But sadly enough a team with AI and Webber lost to a team which probably has one NBA prospect at best.

Nobody cares Jerry. You may as well start a harness racing thread. That would elicit more responses than a USA basketball thread.

Actually, I care. This was the third defeat of an NBA team in Europe...there are some legit excuses...it's the beginning of camp and many players aren't in playing shape (neither AI or Webber played for US of course in off season), reports seem to indicate that it was a "friendly" game which translates into lack of real effort, and frankly..th e76ers aren't very good!

My bad, I thought you were too caught up in Veronica Mars and Sarah Michelle Gellar to care about sports.

The Spurs killed a team from France.
Parker recovering from a broken finger destroyed his countrymen.

Nothing has happened to USA basketball Seattle. The WORLD has learned how to play the game. And play it well. There are some very good European teams. This is not football or baseball. The World loves this sport. Its spreading like wildfire so you are going to get some very good players from other countries. The NBA will find them if they suit our game. Rules do make a difference. Our shorter Shot clock, the defensive 3 second call. People dont know the NBA game and forget how much rule changes have changed the way Defense can be played in the NBA.
