    I would have no problem with having two small guards if we had Hakeem Olajuwon anchoring the paint.

    Lillard is much better than the Curry that was playing along Ellis.

    The men's team was down huge to China and battled back from an 0-2 deficit to barely win, 119-62.

    Only thing more unwatchable than the NBA is NBA pkayers pkaying against uncle Ferdinand from Peru or whatever.

    Batum.... come on, man. These guys were supposed to be the second best team in the tournament. But they get blown out by Australia behind Nic's 5 points on 3 attempts. Classic Nico

    Team USA's game was unwatchable. The All Star rookie game has more intrigue.

    Batum is mailing it in....5 pts, 3 boards and 2 assists...Tony Parker seems to be shouldering the whole load for team France..guess Nico now gets to play ball the way he always wanted to.

    She'd get blocked constantly...and it would be so easy to trap her..so, no...it's better she's a legend for the WNBA..Donne Della is impressive at creating her own shot

    I don't believe she would be successful in the NBA, but why do you say she would get blocked all the time? She's the same size as Kyle Lowry, and taller than Isaiah Thomas. Do they get blocked all the time?

    As far as it being better that she's a WNBA legend--I'm sure that if she could make the equivalent of 10 years' WNBA salary by taking one minimum salary NBA deal, she'd probably consider that better.

    I still think the top college players should replace nba players for the Olympics, I still think we'd medal too.
