reggien said:is that all you have to hold on to is the 2004 olympics? its still going to e a black team going to the olympics and the world games and they will win the gold. didn't blacks dominate heavyweight boxing for the last fifty years? klitscho decent but face it hes the great white hype. to bad you have to go all the way to the former eastern block just to cheer for white boy.
You must find it pretty embarassing that the Black BBall teams of the U.S are beaten by White Euro's on a regular basis as they are essentially being schooled by part timers.Do you realise that in many European country's like Italy,Spain and South America too Basketball is a fairly minor sport way overshodowed by soccer,similar to the minor status soccer is given in the U.S. And these guys are taking apart bona fide full time professional athletes with millions of dollars of endorsements and the best coaching in the world.American Blacks who grow up immersed in the sport from a young age,its not just a sport for them,but a way of life as reflected in Hip Hop magazines.The Hip Hop culture and BBall is entwined for many young inner city kids so for them to see their hero's outplayed by amateurs and students from Europe and Argentina must be shocking.
