USA basketball is pathetic
i played basketball from 7 yrs old all through highschool, division I college, and a year in a pro/am league. it was an honor to wear my 1st grade jersey as it was to be a starter on my college team and the year after college. i could not imagine how great it would feel to wear the US jersey with pride.
these ****ing primodonna money hungry street thugs are disgusting in all aspects on life. ****ing criminals, $$ hungry, self absorbed assholes. our team looks like the ****ing correctional facility line up at Rahway prison. i had met garnett at an And 1 party and he was the biggest ****ign scumbag i have ever met. we talked for like 4 minutes and he had a problem taking a picture with me because he was drunk talking to some hooker looking chick. i would have loved to break his 12" arm. sad that young black kids aspire to and try to emulate these bastards.
i hope we get our asses kicked like we have in past years.if you send the guys with the biggest shoe contracts and the most heavily endorsed, expect to get the street ball tournament these convicts think they can pull on well established team oriented players.
i would rather it went back to the collge guys

i can't believe that people don't realize basketball is one of the few sports left were a group of good guys that play as a team, can beat a group great group of players that don't play well together.
ie this years final, talent wise the Lakers should have beat them like a drum, but the Pistons are a team.
usa basketball needs to field a team of nba players not based on names to sell jerseys, or a good college players that aren't quite nba ready, let them work together all year long, and their only season is the olympic and world championship.
oh wait all the good guys don't go to college or can't get the test scores to get in so they have to declare. oh and this david stern bull**** about not wanting young guys and detering them, please he;s got a hardon for the next hs 6th grade educationer who can sell and market the game at a global capacity.
sad. i loved this sport my whole life and to watch what the nba has become in past years is dtraight out of a jay z video.horrible. it's a one on one league now and that's the mentality of the players. sooner people realize it the better because it's never gonna change from here on in.
oh **** it's not a black thing although my black friends think they're scumbags too

being black doesn't make you a criminal.your illegal activity does and alot of these nba guys look like ****ing thugs, act like thugs, and have turned their stage to perform on into a hip hop fashion show.play ball, be a student of the game, and save the short down to your ankles for midgets
