    All I did was point out how the US lost 7 times on the biggest, most important stage (world stage) despite having a GOAT talent advantage (All-NBA players versus Euroleague talent).

    Anytime a team has more talent and loses, it's because their brand of basketball and skill at playing the game was inferior enough to offset the talent advantage - this is an unavoidable fact.

    In this case, the USA's losses despite having a GOAT talent advantage proves their skill was VASTLY inferior and proved that particular era was the weakest the NBA has ever produced - I don't know how else to interpret the NBA not being able to defeat Euroleague in 3 straight international competitions.

    3Ball roots for pages of boring ass Jordan infatuation rants and bats off to his posters religiously.


    3ball, please stop with the MJ overkill. I love MJ, but even you are tuning me out.

    Wade had veteran, All-NBA teammates on that team.. More importantly, Wade and Team USA lost in 2006 too, right after Wade got Finals MVP.

    Nothing can excuse the USA's All-NBA talent for getting blown away by Arroyo, the 3rd string backup to 40-year old Stockton in 2003... or any of their 6 other losses to Euroleague talent in 2002, 2004 and 2006.

    The losses proved that particular era was the weakest the NBA has ever produced - I don't know how else to interpret the NBA not being able to defeat Euroleague in 3 straight international competitions.

    Kind of like a major homophobic preacher who speaks out publicly against gay marriage, but then gets caught with a male prostitute in a hotel room.

    I honestly think 3ball LOVES LeBron James.
    who was that homophobic preacher who revealed on his death bed he's gay? not long ago
