The Tournament Itself is MEANINGLESS, as You've Stated... But that's NOT the Way Team USA Play is SOLD to American Audiences...The "World Cup of Basketball", or Whatever it's Called, is an AFTERTHOUGHT...Even During the Live Broadcast of Practices & Games, "Representing your Country" is the CLEAR Theme... Being Honest, Americans DON'T Even Give a Fuck about Gold Medals in Basketball, we just DON'T Want Other Countries Winning Them... REED:Bad:
THIS... Like REED Said, American's DON'T Give a Fuck about Gold Medals in Basketball, but we DON'T Want Other Countries Winning them, Either... Hell, that's WHY the Jordan/Magic/Bird, etc., "Dream Team" was Formed in '92... REED:mj:
Wall was Trying to Fit in @ THE Most Competitive Position on Team USA... Realistically, his ONLY Chance of Making the Squad was if Derrick Rose's Play was COMPROMISED by Injury, Which it Obviously WASN'T... Rose, Kyrie Irving, Steph Curry...Still Got James Harden, Klay Thompson or Kevin Durant, that Can HANDLE as Welll...Wall DIDN'T Do Anything Wrong, Necessarily, he Just DIDN'T Stand Out...ALL of the Guards/Wings Do a Little Bit of EVERYTHING, Which Overlapped w/Wall's Potential Contribution... Plus, Wall MISSES More Wide Open Jumpers than he MAKES...Hopefully this MOTIVATES him for the Upcoming NBA Season... REED:hammert:
Against who? And why if they don't wanna play a world championship. They think the NBA championship is for the world anyways...
New season. Everything happening now is for the 2014-2015 season. The NBA thread was acting strange and i tried to save posts by moving them, but it doesnt look like i saved them all. Unfortunate history with another NBA thread
Apparently Lebron has lost 10 pounds and is trying to cut even more weight. It is assumed he wants to be lighter to minimize the strain on his knees. Wonder how this will effect his strength and ability to absorb contact. http://www.ibtimes.com/lebron-james...ebron-prepping-upcoming-season-photos-1649298
james has seen how well duncan has been doing the last 2 seasons. and he probably also doesnt plan on guarding many power forwards next season.
Lebron losing weight will turn out like Roy's return to light-heavyweight after beating Ruiz. "you heard it here first!" :stir:
Bron Looks CRACKHEAD Thin in the Face... It's NOT as if he Had a Bunch of Disposable Bodyfat to Begin w/...If he's Trimming MUSCLE, this Could Diminish his EXPLOSIVENESS, STRENGTH & Negatively Impact his STAMINA... But More than Likely, it'll Make him LIGHTER on his Feet, Which is a NIGHTMARE for the League... REED:hut:
read the article. dont watch the video. http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/1...-renews-call-separate-quadrennial-competition
im with you. It took me a while before i could see it. There has to be something we can wear to prevent this shit. Make sure your Vitamin D is up man.
REED Doubts You Jump Anywhere Near as HIGH as Paul George, So Very Little Chance of that Happening to You, Mass... Plus, You've GOT to Be Mid to LATE 30's by Now...Time to Hang 'em Up, Homey... REED:l2:
Still haven't watched it and probably won't. I've seen the Livingston and Ware injuries so I have no desire to see another similar injury like that any time soon.
yep, no point in seeing it honestly. George handled it good. He wasnt rolling around in pain. He just was calm and basically had this look in his eyes like his career might be over.
see thats why its scary when i heard i thought it was him doing some super jump for a tayshunish block from the back, it was more a side hop he didnt even get up that much. I am 36, i am actually in pretty good shape, but i cant jump for shit, i thought if i got back in shape i could jump, wrong
This is good to hear. Last time we talked, you werent in the best shape. Im glad things are better. How's pops?
hes cool for now, i lost over 65 pounds since january. i thinking maybe 10 more max, that will put me about 190-193 i am 6'2, so thats a healthy size
thats more than some ten pounds too, where was the ten pounds in his face, ten pounds on a guy that tall isnt that noticable.
thats great. I was concerned too. Some of our conversations use to worry me because i know you were having issues.
