<br>...maybe our senses of humor are so different that I don't know when you're joking and you don't know when I am, so I'll try not to write anything when a topic is related to your country, I wouldn't like you to take offense again.

We have something called "freedom of expression" over here, and I'm sure you have something akin to it over there. I can't speak for anyone else (nor should I assume to), but I have no problem with you voicing your opinion, whether I or anyone else agrees with your words or not.

I just hope that selfish bastards like Shaq, Kevin Garnett, and Tracy McGrady get off their asses and play next time. Brad Miller, Dwight Howard, Kirk Hinrich, Chris Bosh, and Shane Fooking Battier?! Come on!!! Did Krzyzewski think he was prepping an NCAA team? Would Argentines tolerate Ginobli and Sanchez not being on the team? Spain without Gasol and Navarro? Hell no. It's a disgrace that jerks take our money but don't want to represent. There were no premier centers and no seasoned point guards like Chauncy Billups, and it hurt bad not having Gilbert Arenas to shoot lights out. Even Wade, James and Anthony, while great, are still very young.

Having said that, I like the international game. It really is the way basketball was meant to be played. You can just picture someone like John Wooden sitting back and going "Yeah, that's right, that's the way we used to do it." It's why even WNBA games are fun to watch if you really like basketball. And if all this makes the US hungrier to do things right, great.

Why do you think great players like those usually never play with the national team? Aren't they interested?

It's good Wade, James and Anthony are very young because we'll be able to enjoy their great talent for many years. IMHO they've played very good in the tournament.

Hey, those notes didn't exist when I was over there [:p], could you send me a couple of them so that I can take a closer look? [;)] Who's on the other side, Alan Greenspan?

[hutter]

Naw, the other side has a picture of Mt. Rushmore.

¡¡Sííííí!! ¡¡¡Campeones del mundo!!! [:D][:D][:D]

BTW, the bronze medals should have been given today instead of yesterday, it's the first time a see a medal ceremony without the third classified in it... how polite of them.
