Argentinians are dirty, that's no news.

On the other hand, Niggers are stupid and can't learn the rules...

Referees wanted USA to win the match, so that Beijing Olympics could be THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST (Bolt, Phelps, Redeem Team...)

I'm not butthurt, but Navarro's traveling was hilarious.

keep trying to convince us you don't care about basketball eurofags. funny how you make more threads and baawww so much harder about losing in basketball than we do when we lose soccer.

I do care, but my team played an incredible match, we learn your rules when we go to Showtime-Doping-Jumping High-Rap NBA, your niggers should do the same when they come here, so that we can have fair matches

Navarro got runners all game because the second anyone would step in front of them the refs would call blocking. Yet when Wade or Bryant drove the lane they would get nailed with chargers or nothing at all when they collided. The Spanish bench got up and screamed at the refs at least four times, yet they didn't give them technicals. Please tell me again that the refs were on the US's side.

Also, MOVING SCREENS MOVING SCREENS MOVING SCREENS. It's all the Euro teams do. It is illegal, and never called. Why do you think they get so many wide open looks, are they that much more athletic than our all-star nigras?!? Of course not. Unfortunately I do not care enough to go making .gifs about it and starting new threads day after day. But when these pop up, I'll mention it. Some BawwwSpainiard posted this the other day:

Page 36 you dirty, whining faggots. Even though we invented the fucking game, we played your way, and you lost... deal with it.

Well, say that then.

Constant traveling + Howard camping "in da zone"+ Doping = Victory

Again, it doesn't matter, I'm not even Spanish but I enjoy good basketball, and this match wasn't fair.

Constant traveling, when? On in-bound passes? Because we were forced to shoot outside all game because there are no 3-second violations in international ball I guess. So sitting some fatting in the paint all position is a quick way to draw chargers.

Oh and you have no evidence of doping so stop complaining.

they'll just cut one of kobe and lebron's legs off next time for you then. not fair? what the fuck. the best basketball playing athletes from their country beat the best basketball playing athletes from every other country that qualified. sorry if team usa had bigger, stronger athletes. the game was perfected in the united states and now that they have players taking it to a level above pau fucking gasol and rudy fernandez it is considered unfair. fuck off

It's a travel because he takes more than one step without dribbling.

International basketball is inferior. It has had less time, less money, and more importantly, less talent to evolve as a sport.

The trapezoid lane and short three and small court confine the game into a small space. This discourages athleticism and makes it purely a mid-range jump shooting game. This is why all the 7-footers can shoot but can't play the post.

The refs stink. They haven't been trained and vetted to ignore flopping, so players flop more. The flop is the worst part of international ball, because it discourages aggression. The most exciting play in basketball is the block shot/dunk at the rim, but it almost never happens in euroball. The NBA made steps to correct this with the circle in the key and an emphasis on blocking calls. Euroball, meanwhile, seems to be as intractable with its rules as baseball. Also, the refs seem to call less techs, so players whine more. It's like soccer.

also, the traveling issue was brought over by europe. That's why they call it the "european two-step."

personally, this is the one part of euroball that i like, because it's more aesthetically pleasing than the jump stop the NBA players were using at the time. now many of the NBA players have adopted it, because it works, and the sport continues to evolve.
