LeBRONZE James

i forgot to write about the world championships!!! my gulay!
anyways.. well i just had to air out my thoughts on the somewhat disappointing finish by Team USA.. i say disappointing since considering the potential these guys had not to mention their paychecks, well a bronze isnt enough...
yada yada.. they only had a month to prepare yada yada yada.. one month? so what?
when a league boasts that its the best in the world... or when NBA champions are regarded as world champions.. well they better live up to it, otherwise, everytime they mention it - in the NBA finals for example or All-star weekend, it will all be just a joke...

heck, dont get me wrong, i love the NBA, i even have a jersey collection too boot!!! James, Duncan, Wade, A.I., etc etc... but watching these new guys.. saluting and all everytime they get a dunk, screaming after a monstrous alley-oop and all... PLEASE!!! grow up!
i was rooting for USA, heck i even loved the dunks, but twas so frustrating... i get to see Wade elevate for 2... then back at Greece, they hit a 3, Paul doing a cross-over wasting too much energy in the process and time but they still hit a 2, back at Greece's camp, smoth passing, bam another 3! ... get the point?
well point is, in international ball, dunks still count as 2 points, crossovers = 0, alley-oop = 2 pts also...
...during commercial breaks they always replay the dunks/spectacular plays US made just before the time-out and none of the crisp pick and rolls or smooth 3 pointers Greece made.. well media i guess...
o well, i'm older than most of these guys anyway so i guess they wouldn't understand or appreciate it as much as i do... o well...
at least i was able to buy myself a Memphis Grizzlies jersey about a year ago i think... and guess what? it's a world champion jersey... an authentic NBA world champion at that... guess who?
i'll give you a clue.. he's Spanish
