USA Basketball

So, the latest edition of the USA men's basketball team went out and laid another turd, losing to Greece. I give the Greek team credit, because they played a fantastic game. Maybe our collective arrogance will finally stop. Nah...it probably won't.

I have a message for the many of you who THINK you can play ball...for those of you who enjoy "street ball" (what a joke)...for those of you who think that you can play ball because you bought yourself some $150 shoes: LEARN HOW TO PLAY THE GODDAMN GAME! The reason the players of today can't hang internationally? Let's see...can't shoot, can't play team ball, can't play team defense, don't know what picks and screens are...the list goes on and on.

Yeah, but you just go ahead and keep thinking that scoring 30 points (while only making 20% of your shots) makes you a bad-ass. You're a joke. USA basketball is a joke.

Thanks for embarrassing us, and thanks for letting the rest of the world lap us. Your individuality makes you a shitty basketball player.

(and, please, don't ever refer to any incarnation of USA basketball as the "Dream Team", as there was only ONE. It had Magic, Michael, Bird, Barkley, etc. That is the one TRUE Dream Team, and always will be.)
