All the American Heavies are playing Football/Basketball

Perhaps being 3rd world countries with no funding? Go to china or india and try find me a basketball court.

America doesn't even try during the Olympics, it's kind of like we show up, and expect to win. Other countries it means the whole world to them. Most nba players could easily get an Olympic gold but would rather chill at home during the summer lol.


It's the equivalent to a boxing champ levels ahead of his opponent, not taking things seriously. Then there is the hungry contender, biggest moment of his life.


Put it this way, our worse is better than your best.

Gregg Popovich: American players don’t work as hard as foreign players

Made not in America
Is avoiding American players the secret to the Spurs' success?

You're such an arrogant, ignorant moron. I can't believe people like you actually believe the **** you talk.

It's true. Look at team USA's basketball roster. They didn't care about it for years. It was pretty much grab some random players, throw them in there with no planning/coaching, let them win gold.

Even though the Spurs' two best players are American?

I can find plenty of quotes from Popovich.

The only sport that America dominates internationally is basketball but that should come with an asterisk

America has over 300 million people. The only reason why they usually win Gold at the Olympics is cuz they go against countries with far less people. If they played the best players in all of Europe (roughly 300 million I believe), they would lose. A lineup of Tony Parker, Deng, Dirk, Both Gasol Bros, and Ibaka would smash any American lineup they could come up with
