Can Anyone expalin me this, seriously

LMAO @ the excuse making on Duncan's behalf.

When much lesser talked about, or revered players such as the despised Marbury and Iverson thoroughly outplayed expectations on several occasions.

We lost due to lack of defense, lack of shooters, lack of passing, not taking things seriously, Duncan playing well below expectations as that teams best player.

Also, LeBron, Melo, and Wade were all essentially rookies and Larry Brown doesn't play young guys much to begin with.

so is duncan

I really thought about this one,

especially with the whole era argument.
essentially basketball became an international sports, and many different style had been developed. Without watching the Euroleague I would even still say that the Euroleague is most likely different than NCAA hoops as well.

When you really think about how a basketball player when going pro has to adjust to the NBA rule, but also have to adjust to the Olympics rule.

We realized that if you don't know the rules, you can't win games. Essentially we were beat by technicalities.

Iverson and Marbury didn't work and Larry Brown started to wear thin on the players.

[Heavincent]

Because Kobe didn't play.

You don't win championships with a midget who chucks the ball like no other. AI and Marbury were the reason why they lost.

Rookie LeBron, Wade, and Melo. Boozer, Okafor, Marion, and Amar'e weren;t that good either.

Lmao, look how sad these nikkas looked when they won bronze:

[stevieming]

Tim Duncan was on that 2004 team and never played on the us team ever again.

I swore I read somewhere he was quoted as he didn't like FIBA rules and wouldn't play under those rules again.

[Kblaze8855]

I remember during those games ISH was raising hell about Brown not playing Lebron and Melo enough. They played less minutes combined than Marion, Odom, or Richard Jefferson. Brown had the team walking it up with some of the best athletes on the planet on the bench.

manu promised duncan the best blowjob of his life
