I am really loving the theme/design of your blog. Do you ever run into any
internet browser compatibility problems? A couple of my blog readers have complained about my
blog not working correctly in Explorer but looks great in Safari.

Do you have any ideas to help fix this problem?

I feel that the selection process needs some work. Choose NBA players that posses the ability to pass, rebound and play defense and worry about getting 3 or 4 players that can score the ball. Saying the entire NBA can’t compete with the NCAA is ridiculous and just plain ignorant. Thank you.

The days of the 1992 Dream Team are over. Those games the U.S. team crushed all the other teams and cruised to the gold medal. Teams in other countries are very talented now (Argentina, etc.) But, like another commentator said, the U.S. team was vindicated in Beijing.

Wow! Very well said. I too think that the players that they selected to represent the country are mostly the “me first” players. However, I tend to disagree in the notion that ALL of the current NBA players lack the basic fundamentals of the game. I think (and hope) that there are still NBA players these days that are quite good in terms of fundamentals and teamwork. Anyways, Thanks for posting this, I very much enjoyed reading this post.

It’s not that the NBA players are not athletically equal too the international players; they are. Infact, I would say in most cases they are athletically superior to the competition. But, once you make someone an uber millionaire, it would appear that representing your country is too trivial of matter to be worth your time or effort.

In addition, the NBA is full of isolation and 1 on 1 play. It creates a lot of standing around. This is easily noticed when you watch college then NBA. So the NBA came doesn’t translate to the international arena. This is apparent by our continued loosing over that last four years.

Kevin :: Umm… the NBA already chooses its best players. What selection process are you saying that they currently used? The whole point is that once money gets involved the organization turn to glitz rather than fundamentals.

The 1992 Olympic team beat everybody else on the planet to a bloody pulp. By 2004 we were losing to Puerto Rico.

The NCAA suggestion is almost like if I had to put real college wrestlers against “professional” wrestlers in a real wrestling match. I have to go with the college wrestlers since the professional variant is quite a deviation from the actual sport. That’s a stretch in terms of basketball… but by what I’ve seen in international play it’s not much of a stretch.

I totally disagree with the notion that ALL NBA players lack the basic fundamentals to win in international play. I feel that the selection process needs some work. Choose NBA players that posess the ability to pass, rebound and play defence and worry about getting 3 or 4 players that can score the ball. Saying the entrie NBA can’t compete with the NCAA is rediculous and just plain ignorant. I do agree that more college players should be allowed to join the team.

Steve, it took me awhile to getting around to reading this post. But, that was well said and spot on. Man, you and I could have some good talks in the pub over this one. I rarely watch the NBA these days and I am a huge hoops fan. But, next to college, it’s just painful to watch.

Yeah… once money gets involved then those who control the money (people) start dictating standards. And when the standards we’re dictating are spectacular dunks at the consequent cost of point-scoring-ability… then that’s bad.
