World and Olympic basketball and hockey and baseball are a joke now. Of course back when the soviet block were using pros and we were still sending amateurs it was a joke as well.
Not sad at all. The USA team has only had 2 weeks together and have now played only 2 games together. I'm a Spurs fan and this is how Pop works. He could care less about these meaningless games. Only the media and uniformed fans are freaking out. Pop isn't. He's trying to build a team, instill his basketball principles, figure out what lineup is the best in certain situations. This team is going to be just fine. Also, I think there's 4 or 5 players in the NBA finals that will be joining the team once finished.
This post is the only joke. The world has caught up to the USA using our coaches, plays and in many case players. We've never had the advantage in Hockey. The Japanese and Cubans have dominated Baseball for many years now yet the US still competes at a high level with them.
That’s just embarrassing for you.
40 years or so ago even with the soviet bloc cheating it was still something to remember in the Olympics; even the worlds sometimes.
I suggest you not watch then.
They just beat Argentina by over 20 points. You quit to easy.
I'm not the least bit embarrassed and I'm a die hard American patriot.
So am I and that’s why it’s embarrassing for you.
You can be as embarrassed for me as much as you want. Doesn't affect me at all.
Yes I’ve been to and lived in many different countries and experienced many different cultures. It opens your eyes and broadens your experiences and beliefs. Very enlightening and more people should do it. It will change your outlook on the world for the better instead of being narrowly focused on only what you see living in one place your entire life and never leaving for more than a week or so.
