The one on the front lost her patience and took the initiative...did not stand a chance. Impressive how slipstream makes a difference in such a small distance.

Many countries have an nba player or 2. Very few are household names, or even names you have heard of if you don't watch the NBA everyday.



The Raptors almost beat the Heat last year, just saying.

How can you say it's a joke in the Olympics, when 8 years ago, at an Olympics, USA only got bronze?

Spain has starters all from NBA, as well as some on the bench. They also would've had Ricky Rubio if not for injuries.
 
It's not best gif ever but I tried.

Most team sports are jokes in Olympic. The only team sport I respect is indoor valleyball. Basketball and soccer don't impress me becuase the highest level of competitions are played at different events. And I don't know any one who play handball and waterball.

Okay spain has NBA players yes, but I am just saying in theory, all of the USA players are significantly better than most if not all of the spain players (not sure where Pau fits in).
This is just my opinion obviously and I am not even from USA, in fact I dislike a lot of their players. I am just saying statistically, the odd are quite heavily in the USA favor.

This arguement I guess could stem to the MLB when the Bluejays who are missing 5 of their 9 position players are playing the Yankees this week who have a payroll 3x as high. Its the whole All-stars vs AAA players situation.
