USA vs China tonight 9:30 est!

Should be a good game ... its been quite some time since the US was a favorite in a world basketball tourney, but this team looks like it was built to play the international game for a change.
Ahhh, those '92 Dream Team memories .... no international team would ever beat that squad. Too bad the current NBA doesn't have more of the old school players that had a fully developed game.

dont we normally just throw our stars together? that would be why we lose.

hell, just take whatever team that wins the NBA championship, and we'd pwn the world
 
Meh, a lame attempt to mimic And1. These guys are a lot slower than the And1 players.

**EDIT**
Oh wait, these are the Asian versions of And1. 😉 Hahaha.
They aren't as athletic or skilled as the American version though.
I can do half of those silly non-real bball moves. They serve no purpose in a real game. Unless you are really, really quick.
 
More like And1 and 1/2.

The difference here is that the crowds don't jump up and down and run around and wave their hands yelling "Oh !@#! Oh @#!" when a player does their move. They stand there with their arms crossed.

Ha. It's funny because it's true...
 
i, for one, really likes this USAB roster that they have put together, look at their starters!! class of 2003 stars plus Chris Paul (at least for now in the exhibition games) how can you possibly contend with Wade, Anthony, James, Bosh and Paul who are now working together?

they are going to win this, I don't even think they needed Kobe, Amare or Marion (who all were cut due to recuperating injuries). they're that good right now.

I think we've proven to the world that its not the players on the team but the team in the players. If we play right, and I have no doubt Coach K's will lead them well, we should pummel most teams. We lack size inside tho, so I expect some teams to give us problems too.
 
I'm interested to see the hype was about Yi Jianlian. He's supposed to be the #1 pick overall if he comes out for the 2007 draft.

1st pick will be Greg Oden, no matter who else declares for the draft.
 
USA squeaks by Brazil 90-86

Welington Dos Santos rattled the U.S. defense with his speed and passing, while Leandro Barbosa of the Phoenix Suns, and Alex Garcia repeatedly drove to the basket. Both finished with 14 points.

Cleveland Cavaliers center Anderson Varejao dictated play under the basket, racking up six defensive rebounds and three offensive boards in the third quarter. He fouled out in the final frame with Brazil trailing 85-82.
