Lebron is the most complete player I've ever seen... but I suppose that's obvious.

I guess the BBC just used the local Australian commentators, Maybe they thought the only people watching would be Australians.

It's weird because they normally use a Brit and an American.

Maybe locally in London, but the rest of the world wont see it.
Rio is going to be a blast, such a huge party.
JA! USA is going ABAJO!

For those who don't know what I was rambling about, the Chaos Dunk is a legendary dunk in NBA history. Charles Barkley was known for doing it in the Olympics back in the day, but the last player I can remember to ever replicate the Chaos Dunk was Vince Carter in 2000.
GOT DAMN
here it is with American commentators
Dunked on Frederic Weis with such authority it emasculated Weis and he didn't ever play in the NBA.

There's a guy that lives 10 minutes away from I live, Josh Cassidy, that is competing for Canada coming up. So much hype in my area for him, it's really cool to see.

The shameful flopping led to the nutshot, Doc Rivers was preaching it on the NBC Sports feed.
If no attempt to clean up the game is made by the refs, players are going to do it themselves. By any means necessary.
No mi amigo, Argentina likes to hit abajo, lol.

That's just stupid, you can't just randomly punch people because the other team is playing the ref. Well, not unless you want to risk sanctions / assault charges anyway.
The punch changed nothing in reality. Just proved that the tactic was probably as frustrating as they wanted it to be.

I'm not saying the nutshot was smart, but it was the direct result of the flopping by Argentina. For a tightly contested close game, some of the flops I saw were embarrassing. Not to mention it may have been retaliation for a Tony Parker takedown. There's history with these teams:

It's no different in the NBA, if you keep your starters out there too long and try and run up the score the opposing team will take offense.
I'm late to replying to this, and not entirely sure what it was supposed to mean, but have you looked at the medal breakdown by gender?
Men have 11G 11S and 11B for USA, Women have 23G 11S and 13B.
So yeah like I said... US women are kicking major ass this Olympics. Men... not as much.
I'm pretty sure most of the men qualify so they can bang olympic chicks all night long. Getting a medal is just icing on the cake.

Yeah, I was really looking forward to the Paralympics when I remembered Channel 4 have the rights and probably won't have anything like the awesome of the BBC Player. Still, hopefully they do it justice.

See... now if they told boys in school this sort of thing then I'm sure they'd be far more interested in playing some of the niche sports.

I can't recall seeing the paralympics broadcast on American TV. Maybe all the coverage is on a niche cable network that I'm unaware of
Still some pretty big events happening tomorrow.
oooh you're a star, thanks!

Bob Costas on NBC:
"tonight we have the all-american beach volleyball final, womens 200m final and mens 110m hurdle final, but lets start with the boring shit first so you all have to watch the whole night: more diving"
actual quote!
haha
but, seriously, why is diving still happening!?

When Bolt runs a sub 19s 200m that will be pretty big.

That's not happening.
I like diving, diving its awesome.
He needs to get below a 19.19 first, before I believe he can ever get below a 19 flat. Sustaining that kind of speed is pretty much impossible for 200 meters.
