nave conterosso No....in basketball the NBA is clearly the best league. The winner is the world champion. You base your argument on what? a result from 2006? what about 2008, 2010, 2012, and 2014???
@naveconterosso9 жыл бұрын
I agree from a technical point of view. But it's extremly unpolite to use the term "World Champion". The 2004 Nba Champion said "We are the World Champion". But summer Olympics showed a different end
@ndfaithfuls_son40329 жыл бұрын
nave conterosso The NBA is a league. You are using an international result to argue for a league result. For example, if Manchester United becomes the best soccer club in the world. Does the result of England losing in the World Cup impact your opinion on Man U being the best league team in the world??? I would say no. Therefore, if the Detroit Pistons (who won in 2004) declare themselves world champions because they are the best club team in the best league in the world I would say that they are. The NBA is basketball's premier league in the world. Whether the USA is world champion or not should not impact the perception of the NBA to the world.
@naveconterosso9 жыл бұрын
No way: AMericans still think they are n.1 in the world. They don't even know the rest of the world. And they don't have the humblenss to simply say "we are NBA Champions". As if Eva Mendes would say "I'm the most beautiful actress in the wolrd". The others should say that. Not you.

That "Spanoulis is not a good jump shooter" comment shows that even American casters don't know a shit about anything other than what happens in their country. Having a bad tournament doesn't make any player a bad shooter. Just like losing one game doesn't make that American team less talented than the Greek team. But this was no luck. This American team consisted of inexperienced young talents lacking in team game and had a worse fundamental basketball education than these Greek players. Also, Diamantidis, Spanoulis, Papaloukas and Zisis probably had more basketball IQ in average than any American teams guard rotation has ever had. When it comes to American-European basketball thing, we are one as Europe. We don't think about differences. Just like Zeljko Obradovic told "Welcome back home" to David Blatt in Euroleage preseason meeting. He is also considered a European coach in Europe because he became a coach in Europe even though he is American. And as European basketball, this was maybe the proudest moment. We get better as we compete each other and now even NBA teams are trying to imitate Euroleague basketball. Where do you think that "pace & space" game is coming from? Thanks for Greek team for having us experience that great night.

I know this is years ago but yes. Even as a casual football fan being Canadian in this day and age it's a struggle to find a legit way to watch Ligue1 or Bundesliga, just so I can watch Jonathan David and Alphonso Davies. In 2006 it would be stupidly hard to watch the Greek players play professionally in any way, youtube was a grey zone for sports highlights, you couldn't even rely on that. Only talking about the first line. Either way, the Greek team embarrassing USA here is one of my top 5 basketball moments to those dau.

I'm from Greece and I have to say to all Americans who say that it was a lucky game. It wasn't. Don't say that we were lucky when you don't see European basketball. Diamantidis is one of the best players in European history and so are Papaloukas and Spanoulis so don't think that you lost from a bad team. GREECE has the 5 best basketball in the world and very high IQ players.
@andreasm766810 жыл бұрын
***** I said best players in europe not best in the world and I don't think we are the best. USA has the best basketball in the world. But you are an idiot if you think that we beat you because of luck. Also for the "Americans are the best in the sport" it depends on how you look at it because: NBA has: talent best offence in basketball worldwide EUROPEAN BAsketball has: talent (but not as big as the NBA players) best defences worldwide the best crowds in the world So if you like watching dunks and high score games then NBA is the best basketball in the world. If you like watching taktics,real defence, and real crowds then euroleague is the best in the world AND THESE ARE NOT MY OPINIONS THESE ARE FACTS

***** first of all (you moron) i really hope you are not from the USA, if you are please go back to school asap. secondly, how come we were "lucky" kobe wasnt playing? where is the luck in this, the dude was not in the roster. your statement is so irrelevant and you keep saying it!! I ll give you one slightly more irrelevant for you to understand: team USA was lucky kobe wasnt playing for us, then we would have won with (83+6=) 89 points. get it? to continue, there is not much luck involved in a 40 minute game, WE PLAYED BETTER, get over it. there are many reasons why a worse team in terms of talent can win over a better one, but luck is just one of them, and in a 40' game is even less relevant. if talent on its own was winning all games the spurs wouldnt have won it this year. It was a good day for us, the game's pace was smooth for us, we played smart in tactics and as always USA's scouting was under-average. anyway i dont know why i even bother responding to morons simulating tourette's patients, who have obviously not shot a hoop in their entire trolling lives.

Wow there is clearly some tension around here guys. To my fellow Greeks: this was by far the most intelligent basketball we've ever played but we all need to take it easy here. The good days are gone and it will take a while to get so many talented Greek plays together simultaneously. Still, we played amazingly and deserved the victory more than ever!! To USA fans/supporters: stick with the facts: your game was pathetic and lacked intelligence and system, so it was a fair defeat. Too many roids do not guarantee the victory. Also, it is at least embarrassing and insulting that you guys deny anti-doping control during the Olympic games/Mundobasket: your team should be banned. Nobody denies your team's talent and amazing physical skills. Nevertheless, when it comes down to intelligent basketball, Europeans are ahead. Good luck to all and remeber: this is basketball and not a rivalry, so RELAX !!

souksoumou1 Every single time that Team USA has lost the Gold Medal in Basketball we had the younger less experienced roster with raw talent. In all of our losses our team average ages is either teens or young 20s. Never have we lost with USA being a older experienced team. Our younger B Team will lose to the world's A Team every once in a while. Guess how the rest of the world would act during those times? We will happily take a loss but when the world trys to ride on it in such a shameless manner it's funny that they call us arrogant. Do you even know why 1992 The Dream Team was created? They got tired of grown men's acting like hotshot while beating our 18 19 year old kids. The Dream Team was a result of your arrogant. USA stars play more basketball than any other nation. Not only do we play FIBA World Championships and the Olympic but we also play the toughest league in the world call the NBA. Even Charles Barkley talked about this. He said that USA All Stars can't play in all of them all the time after playing the NBA every year. Our old retirees can handle your leagues even after ware and tare from the NBA. We have to take a break every now and then and that's when y'all should be going for the gold. Both 2004 and 2006 were The USA's younger B Team. Over half of the 2006 players on Team USA weren't even on the NBA all-star Team. If I remember correctly Chris Paul was a rookie in 2006. Melo has yet to make the NBA All-star team and both lebron and melo were barely even old enough to legally have a beer. Some of our best players that were Allstars in 2006 were Kobe, Tracy McGrady, Ray Allen, Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, Gilbert Arenas, Shaquille O'Neal, Allen Iverson, Chauncy Billups, Vince Carter, and Paul Pierce. USA sent 2 all stars on a roster of 12 in 2004. That's what we call our B-Team in USA. Tracy McGrady, Kobe Bryant, Jason Kidd, Vince Carter, Ray Allen, Shaquille O'Neal, and Kevin Garnett were just a few of our best all stars in 2004. Lebron Wade and Carmelo were all rookies and just hit their first full calendar year in the pro's hence the reason why none of them made the all-star team during this year. Look what happened at the 2008 Olympic when we sent 9 All stars on a roster of 12. 2012 and 2016 were also 9 Allstars out of 12. In 1992 we sent 11 out of 12 with arguments that the 12th spot should've went to either Shaquille O'Neal or Isaiah Thomas. We knew our team was weaker in 2004 and 2006 but when we send our A Team like everybody else I actually feel bad. So stop trying to troll and enjoy your gold medal.

Greece wasn't afraid from the tip and gameplanned better, where as USA seemed to believe they just had to show up and they'd win. The gap between NBA players and the rest of the worlds players are not as big as u think, even from an athletic standpoint. Those Greek guards were driving by Allen Iverson and Wade for layups, two guards who are considered the quickest in history. Food for though

That was a teen USA team :))) they were kids, Howard, melo, james and D wade were in their first years of pro basketball they were raw. If you put them now in the same match they would destroy that team. PS: I'm not a Kobe fan, tho I respect the man he's one of the greatest to ever play this game, BUT if he were there that game would have ended in USA's favor.

Yup and dont forget in the 2002 world championship, When team USA went up against Argentina. Yes they lost by 7 points. But players and fans that watched that game know that USA got their ASSES KICKED and they never lead. They trailed by as many as 20 and the closest USA got was 6. Cause they could not play defense to save themselves and got destroyed by their pick n role. And yes 2004 they got their asses kicked by Puerto Rico. And Argentina did not get lucky they executed better than usa. And as an american i will be honest Kobe has to bail out usa in the gold medal game, So they needed kobe. Even i know i the Euroleague players are not going to be afraid of nba players.

I just wish Kobe was able to play on that year's team. It was 2006, his best year in terms of individual skills, and the same year he averaged 35 PPG and brought a lakers team full of scrubs (Kwame Brown, Luke Walton, and Smush Parker were in the starting 5) to the playoffs and to game 7 against the Suns. He could've done wonders in the world championships, like saving Team USA's ass in the 4th qtr during this game, much like he did against Spain in 2008. But one can only dream, can he?
