FIBA ball now is much like 90s ball. No doubt this kind of basketball is much closer to 90s ball than current NBA.

You are only proving my point.
If he could dominate he'd be in the NBA. I can absolutely see why some Europeans would prefer to stay home. But, if everything was equal, there's absolutely no way this kid would turn down NBA money to play in freaking Moscow. There's a reason he's not here -- because he's not good enough. Yet he can thrive in Europe at 6-6.
As for Schortsanitis/Greece, he/they played an awesome game to hats off to them. But that's all it was -- one game. No matter bad you want to, you can't make these ridiculous blanket assessments based on a handful of games. Let alone one.
Yes I can , the Greeks proved America aint that good. It's a true fact but It had to be proven. It was, and it was great to see.

The domination of this sport by Americans must be getting into some of you guys' heads. Some of the stupidest comments I've seen on here are by people like you. Keep on churning though, we'll celebrate yet another gold medal on Sunday.

You like most Americans, can not take losing, even once.
The Greeks beat you. All that matters. That was a failure. I don't care about 52 wins after that. That win was awesome and it stung the Americans in the butt. Good luck with pumping yourself up lol.

What do you mean can't take losing? You're the one desperate on your knees crying for attention with your blatantly trollish posts. Sure it was a failure, nobody has ever denied that. But it still doesn't equate all the things you are claiming. We don't need to pump ourselves up. It's really the norm so what's their to pump?

Au cointraire my friend, I've watched NBA since 1992 and these Olympics have convinced to watch Euroleague and not NBA next season. The rules and ref jobbing of current NBA just isn't the basketball I grew up with. Euroleague now is closest to the game I loved as a kid.
Sedale Threatt wrote:CSKA Moscow just won the Euro title with two Americans playing key roles who I have literally never heard of, Kyle Hines and Cory Higgins. Granted, I barely follow college basketball. But given that they went to Colorado and UNC-Greensboro -- not exactly hoops hotbeds -- they wouldn't seem to be prime prospects. And they can go over the Europe and thrive. Yet somehow players like Paul George, Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green would struggle. OK...
