Sure do! Moved heaven and earth to get all the playoff games on videotape from last seasons run to the Superbowl. As I was never gonna get to be there, I called in favors etc. and I now have all the games on tape. I even lashed out for a copy of the Superbowl matchday program, before the game itself! And that wasn't cheap over here neither. Next thing will be a replica shirt... For those of you who follow the game, watch the Panthers linebackers. Morgan, Fields and Witherspoon; death in white and blue!! |
so true
"Dream team??? Just cos the US has the best paid pro league (at least I think it is) then the players concerned think they are the best. Individually they may be highly skilled but they sure don't seem to want to be a team" (Pashkinthepanther)
Have you seen them play? They look like a group playing for themselves rather then the team--all of them looking to be the star of the team; there just isn't any unity. Perhaps it isn't the money issue that motivates them but their over inflated egos--after all are they not the best players America has to field on the courts and should not all the other teams and players quake at their mirror presents?--HA! doesn't seem so does it. |
There should be no professional players of any games in the olympics. Time to let amateurs shine.Having a "dream team" of professionals defeats the purpose.

I much prefer to watch college ball, especially the girls. No, not because of that! Because they play basketball, real basketball.

Obviously I'm daft....
What was the big deal about Brown calling a time out at the end of the game with Spain? Why was it inappropriate? |

One might believe none did. |
Quote:
Apparently in European basketball it is considered poor etiquette to call a timeout late in the game with your team's win a foregone conclusion because it is considered that keeping your defeated opponents on the court longer than necessary is "rubbing salt into the wounds". |
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! TY I was not aware of that custom!

Neither was I, I only found out when informed by the commentator, 5-time olympian Andrew Gaze who played briefly in Europe (also some NCAA and NBA). |
The said Brown tried to rescind the Time Out when he realized but I guess it was too late...I did not see the game. I loved Brown when he coached the Spurs in the early 90's.

saw a cartoon in the paper depicting Team USA with oversized heads...wish I had kept it & scanned it for y'all, seems to say it all...
