I'm not trying to be a douche, but if he's going to say wild statements he should cite his sources. Otherwise no one will take him seriously.

I understand completely and I am waiting with baited breath on the article that states that FIBA said they gave different rules to the US in the gold medal game.

I assure you that there are Europeans that post here that read the article. Someone will know where a link to it is. In fact, I remember it being discussed in big detail on one of the international forums and also in realgm.com

What's typical is that you are not even aware that Team USA played under NBA rules. You are ignorant and you expect others to happily accept your ignorance as fact, even though it is wrong.

we won't get an actual link folks because he is a liar who just makes up these things as he goes along...

Love how this dude completely skims every post asking for evidence.

Dude, all I'm asking is for you to cite your wild statements. Is that so hard? This is you.....

I am right because I know I'm right, you are wrong because my statements are right. ok?

technically, noone is allowed to travel or palm the ball. it's against the rules by itself, by definition.
please post the source

Technically, the OP is MAD that a bunch of uneducateed Americans could possibly dominate of the rest of the sophisticated world!!!!

So the only difference from FIBA is that in the NBA they let you travel and palm the ball?

Team USA won because they were the better team with the much more talented players.
