Jorge Garbajosa and Juan-Carlos Navarro scored 20 points each, and Pau's little brother Marc and Felipe Reyes dominated "Baby Shaq", holding him to just 2 points.

Only two poiints?! That's hilarious! When I saw the highlights on ESPNews, they started off by showing a close up of his face as he walked to the court, and their first highlight of the game was those two measly stinkin' points! It just goes to show what ridiculous lengths the Caste Media will go to focus on the one black guy in the game. How bizarre and pathetic.

Concerning officiating of US games during the championships, I'm somewhat optimistic that in general, in the future officiating will not degenerate too badly, because I think it would be hard for an official who works on a color blind/ caste blind system in his normal job in a European league to shift over and think, "oh, now that I'm officiating against the US I have to give these rude, arrogant, spoiled NBA starts a break". Hopefully I'm not being optimistic, but I'm thinking unfair US officiating has a long, ingrained build-up that can't be created on demand on the international level.

Add in the factor that the U.S. is so unpopular around the world thanks to Bush and the neo-con madmen, and that includes resentment toward our arrogant, ultra-self-centered affletes as well.

Poland!! Who won the most medals at the Winter Olympics-Germany!!So who won in soccer,hockey and basketball!!Now all you jock sniffers tell us who is better then who!!

Excellent find, mich. Thanks for posting it.

It's interesting that a black man is the author of this article. Have you come across anything similar written by a white journalist? I kinda think criticizing the play and the game of the Dream Team might be off the table for white journalists. What do you think?

I'm glad the US didn't win it all. I do wish Argentina had beaten them though.

I'll tell you what, that league better open its championship to global teams, or else quit blabbering about the NBA winner being ''WORLD CHAMP.''

i've been saying that for about 5 years now...

I actually thought the US might win or lose a squeeker because they were playing a "white" style of ball.

Yes, and this style of ball goes completely against "the world's greatest athletes" natural, me-first style. It is foreign to them, so why would anyone be surprised to see them lose to any cohesive team?

I recall NBA teams losing to Euro/Isreali teams in exhibition games recently. The gap has definately narrowed..........

Unlike the men nobody is a prima donna on the womens team. I don't mind team USA for the women. Also in womens ball if you go cold(shooting wise), you are all but done as there is no above the rim play.

Good points. But I'll take those tall blonde Russian women over what is past off as "our" women anyday. I'm sure you would too. This proves once again that the U.S. self-imposed caste system has ruined yet another sport. How much more evidence do we need?

I don't follow women's basketball, but it's very cool that Russia beat the US and Australia beat Brazil. These two teams are as white as it gets!

Also, I like Autralia's uniforms.

Has anyone looked at this picture and wondered why this lady is trying to block the shot using only her index finger?
