Dwayne Wade saying ... ( 3 weeks ago by dprodr)
Dwayne Wade saying NBA game is more individual, and International game is more of a team game. That's exactly the problem with the current NBA game...too many egos and individuals not playing as teams. That's why the USA teams have been beaten in the last 2 major championships - 2004 Olympics and 2006 Worlds. Let's see if they can pull it together here

It's really sad that greed has taken over the 2008 Olympics. I mean, come on, why stop basketball fans from watching a few minutes or even seconds of low-quality video highlights?

see what the nba has come down too? this- showboating... its all about who puts up the highlight reel plays, who socres the most points, when the refs dont call shit half the time, see the way i see it, they play as a team, they lose as a team, with proper officiating, the game is going to change, and they have a tough time adapting, not having home court refs to make favourable calls, why you think kobe gets fouled twice as much in l.a,than on the road? and its not cuz he drives or shootsmore

I agree 100%. I only watch college basketball now. They play defense! They don't have games like 120-110 it's a struggle to get 80 against a decent opponent. If the NBA was what it was in the 90s or more so what it was in the 90s with the aggressiveness and intensity of international basketball games. Watching these guys play against other countries is WAY more entertaining than seeing them play one another here in the NBA when everyone steps out of the way so someone can make an awesome dunk
