this one is just tooooo easy... so i'll just call them LOSERS and be done with it
280 million people in this country and there weren't any shooters to be found who could join the team?
It's absurd to say that whites are not as good at basketball. They've been man-handled by whites all throughout the olympics.
in countries where whites arent discriminated against from a young age...they can grow up to be very good basketball players.....our system doesnt allow that however due to systematic racism.
The NBA guys are great athletes, but not great basketball players.
That's the key word.

this one is just tooooo easy... so i'll just call them LOSERS and be done with itCouldn't have happened to a more deserving bunch.
The NBA should go to the International rules. The NBA is one on one ball and it is loosing credibility. Stars control officials in the US.
They pose, they posture, they beat their chests, they lose.
I think Darryl Dawkins is on to something.
I celebrate this loss like I celebrated the ladies soccer win. This band of jerks was an utter embarrassment to this nation. Good riddance. Let's hope they don't medal at all.
Here's what we are going to have to do to stay competitive in International basketball. First, hire a full-time coach, whose only job is to coach the USA Men's team, not an NBA or college coach moonlighting as an Olympic. He should have the power to make all personnel decisions. An Olympic team should not be composed like an All-Star team. You need to have guys who play well together, and can keep their egos in check. Also the coach, would only coach games playing by International rules, and also have good knowledge of the foreign teams, so he can know their strengths and weaknesses.
This is how the Men's soccer organization does it with having Bruce Arena as full-time coach, and it has paid off handsomely. If we are going to stay competitive in international basketball, they need to take the same approach.
