The entire Team USA team was built around him. What do you mean he didn't make the choice? What choice?
Its horrible move and its funny how he isn't getting very much scrutiny for it but Love got LITE up for dropping out at the last moment. What Durant did is 50x worse but the media has a huge love affair with Durant and except for a few people ESPN in general refuses to criticize him. I do think he is being told to not play as part of his Under Armor deal.
Here's the end of the Spain-Canada game: [video=youtube;ZBsgJZWuYxI]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBsgJZWuYxI[/video] ...and if you really have nothing to do, here's the whole thing: [video=youtube;4hfwuyLly_w]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hfwuyLly_w[/video]
Im actually pulling for Lithuania if they are still in it. I think it means more to foreign countries to compete in the FIBAs. Older players like Niko Gallis refused to come to the NBA because there was no pro status back then and they couldn't have played for their country. It doesn't seem the same on the US. But I realize this is not the World Cup.
France beats Croatia, Nic has a quiet game (again). Saving it for the big games, no doubt... Here's another description of the game. Here's some of the game: [video=youtube;9EMjxqQQeH4]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EMjxqQQeH4[/video] Here's Nic's double block: [video=youtube;kMCc_oO8yD4]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMCc_oO8yD4[/video] France Basketball has a series of Videos...
Converse: Why did K make cuts a month before the deadline? In fact, I read shortly before the scrimmage that K planned to make ALL cuts, down to a roster of 12, in the hours after the scrimmage. George's injury forced him back to the drawing board. Blame K, not Durant. Also, he's a little bitch for not simplifying how his name is spelled. You have to be Einstein to write it.

Documentary on Batum - it doesn't look new, but it's new to me: [video=youtube;-jTHdRnE-xw]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jTHdRnE-xw[/video]
Dame made him look horrible in their scrimmage and the only thing Wall has on Kyrie/Lillard was his freakish ability to get into rim and create for teammates that way. He wasnt able to show it when it counted and got cut because of it.
Rudy Fernandez is a playmaker, not an outside shooter. Like Batum, but a much better dribbler. [video=youtube;Mxgrd0lnvYo]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mxgrd0lnvYo[/video]
