Shoals Unlimited: Olympics Proving That NBA's Style of Play Still Rules the Hardwood

mookie mookie posted 111 minutes ago from www.sportingnews.com

When Jerry Colangelo set out to save USA Basketball, he made sure the public understood two things. One, the road back would not be a cakewalk. And two, international competition is not the NBA. This message was cruelly hammered home in the 2006 Worlds, when the New Team USA fell to Greece -- a team adept at sinking jumpers and concocting zone defenses.

mookie mookie posted 5 hours ago from www.thewest.com.au

Boomers star Patrick Mills says the US Dream Team sledged him during their Olympic quarter final win over the Australian men’s basketball team. Mills said the world’s best – and richest – players had the physical as well as psychological advantage in last night’s 116-85 match. “That psychological advantage, they definitely show it out on the court and it can be very intimidating ...

I say was because there's no way I can see our land-locked friend getting up on those bars now, but Eddy Curry was indeed at one time an aspiring gymnast. Turns out the wiki entry Skeets found was correct.

Who am I to disagree with the NY Times? "With his persistent vocal leadership, his rugged rebounding and his ability to drive to the hoop at will, James has outplayed Bryant. James has better statistics, has played multiple positions, and has emerged as the team’s leader."

HAVING just watched his constellation of stars cruise over yet another bump on their way to Olympic gold, US coach Mike Krzyzewski had one suggestion for the powerbrokers of Australian basketball - do whatever is necessary to keep Brian Goorjian as your coach. "I'm 61 years old and I've learnt a lot from being the national coach, as I've learned tonight from Brian," he said. "I just assumed he...

It was bound to happen. When you put players on the floor and have them going full speed, injuries are going to amass, the same as any other sport. When it's players fighting for the pride of their countries, it's even more likely. But man, Bucks fans have to be asking "Yeah, but why did it have to happen to us?" Less than a month after inking a five year,$60 million contract extension, ...

The New Orleans Hornets were one of the biggest surprises in the NBA last season. With 56 wins, which is the best record in franchise history, they will be a team to look out for. Also, for the first time in Hornet history, Chris Paul managed to take the team all the way to the Western Conference Semi-Finals where they ultimately lost to the veterans in San Antonio.
