Anyone watching the World Basketball Championships? (Yugo. vs. Argent.)

[iamme]

These guys can play.

This is the best way I can describe the way they play:

NBA = Lots of talent, little heart
College = Little talent, lots of heart
European teams = Lots of talent, lots of heart

I admit I was someone who said "if the NBA sent their real top players, they'd dominate." After watching the hustle and teamwork that the Euro teams play, I'm not so sure anymore. If the NBA played the way that these teams today play (or even w/ the intensity that college teams play), I think it'd be alot more fun to watch. Every player hustles and sets screens. In the NBA, there's sooooo much isolation, 1 on 1....which is good for Sportscenter highlights, but as we've seen, can't compete when you play against good teamwork.

Hey, I bet Yugoslavia could take the Lakers

Not sure about the Kings, since Divac and Peja are both on Yugoslavia

Of course. He knows he needs to find a replacement trophy/award for that NBA championship he'll never get again
