Rack Team USA

[War Wagon]

Winning the FIBA World Championship (their first since 1994) against Turkey in the midst of a hostile crowd in Istanbul. And they didn't just win it, they basically rolled every team in their path thanks in large part to incredible performances from Kevin Durant. Can you say future NBA MVP? He's just 21 and I have a serious mancrush on this scoring machine. Greg Woden was watching from a whirlpool.

It's unfortunate that due to the timing of this event coinciding with Week 1 of the NFL, the accomplishment most likely won't get deservedly noticed.

Rack Coach K as well. The team is 49-1 under his watch and they play with heart, class, and dignity.

[Wolfman]

Sadly, you are correct. Very few will notice this. It is buried under a ton of NCAA and NFL football.

[Mace]

Absolutely, props to Coach K and team USA.

[smackaholic]

As much as I hate duke and would love to see coach K and his team die in a fiery plane crash, you gotta hand it to the dude. excellent coach, excellent person.

just leave duke and i might develop a wags like mancrush of my own.

nahhhhh, that's just way too fukking gax.

nice job outing yourself, you fork lift jockey cumswiller.

How much longer do y'all think Durant is going to stay in OC? A year, tops? Still - that's one shooting motherfucker. Great player, and a great win...

He just signed a long-term deal to say in OC, you fucking idiot. Anything else you're totally clueless at that we should address? Christ almighty, mix in a newspaper once in a while you're gluttoning yourself at the nearest buffet, you disgusting pile of shit.

Who gives a fuck? If the US wins this deal, it's simply because they felt like it.

I was gonna say: Who gives two shits about USA basketball? Don't you losers have better ways to bide you time? I guess not.

USA vs just about everyone else

What did you expect?

[BSmack]

What did you expect?

A bunch of blunt smoking homies playing without any heart and eventually getting burned by a hot shooting bunch of Euros. That has been the script for the last 16 years in the Worlds.

So in other words, it had nothing to do with talent?

[WolverineSteve]

I'd still rather have Oden than Durant.

Of course not but talent will only take you so far if you don't play as a team. No doubt the USA team has always had more talent but very little discipline which translated into something less than a gold medal.

As for talent, other than Durant, this was the U.S. 'B' team which makes the feat all the more remarkable.

Remora #2 chimes in...

Please. You provide ample ammunition with every post you make. I have less than a passing interest in the NBA and even I knew Durant was signed to a long-term deal recently.

It's a serious battle of attrition between you and Paul for FAT fucking RETARD of the board.

The REAL attrition is going on over here.

It's a case of "I don't study black men as closely as you do". Hope you understand.

There is nothing remarkable about a bunch of over-paid, world class athletes doing what they should have been doing since 1994 which is steamrolling most of these Euro trash teams. Since when is playing to your potential something remarkable?

so you're saying you're a clueless fuck? i didn't realize responding to someone's post on an mb meant they were some sort of anal remora. fair enough: what's it like to live in shmick's underoos, remora?

Working well with others is also a talent.

More scat smack. Your six page rolodex of smack needs some expanding, tubby.

[M Club]

I didn't know about Durant's contract. I'm sure there are a few things you don't know, Mr. Iwillsuckyourtumorsoutofyourcockforfree. Care to engage? There's more intelligence in the vapor of my shit than you'll ever harness. Understand your place.

exactly, there are things i don't know about, which is i run them through the "do i even know what the fuck i'm talking about" filter i have but you don't. but since you're a fat fuck who mistook a bowl of crisco for an idea you went ahead made yourself look like the clueless fuck you are.

[War Wagon]

You know how when a thread gets hijacked and you, as the author of the thread, wish those dumbfucks would just get back on topic?

there are things i don't know about, which is i run them through the "do i even know what the fuck i'm talking about" filter.

This isn't one of those times.

[That's how terribly important you are. Dig? :D

what time is it where you live? that's how important i am to you.

I know...lets downplay a world championship by the US American basketball team. Yeah, lets do that.

Sheesh, whatever happen to giving a little credit where its due.
