I have always never been really into dunks in basketball games, i think they take away from the team concept and zero in on the individual, which really should be unimportant when compared to the team in basketball. I also think dunking instigates arrogance and really isn't that entertaining as opposed to a good pass or nice shot, steal, or block. Does anyone agree?

I'm not basing it solely on his NBA career which sports one all-star berth and a below 15 point scoring average. The Basketball Hall of Fame has broad requirements and Manu has a broad resume. Manu has won something in every year from 2001 up until Argentina's defeat at the hands of Team USA Saturday morning.

2001 - Italian League Championship
2001 - Italian Cup champion
2001 - Euroleague champion (won MVP)
2001 - 2001 FIBA Americas Championship
2002 - FIBA World Championships (silver medal)
2002 - Italian Cup champion
2003 - NBA title
2004 - Olympic gold medal
2005 - NBA title

Ginobili is the only player in basketball history to win the Euroleague, an Olympic gold medal, and an NBA Championship ring. Now, if Lebron James and Kenny Anderson are in the Basketball Hall of Fame because of their high school achievements, I think Manu should make it in based on his global achievements.

CNN, yahoo, etc, etc, do not mention anything about the Basketball US team receiving the bronze medal. The team did not even have the courtesy to show at the ceremony to pick up their medal. Are they ashamed not to be even the 2nd best team in the world?

there names were Arthur Aggie and William Gates. Aggie played at Arkansas State and Gates at Marquette, both in the early 90's.

What an embarassment. The NBA is supposed to be the best league in the world for basketball. I'm beginning to think that overseas is where the REAL basketball is being played. Individually, sure, they might not be as athletic. But they are smarter, more fundamentally sound, and play as a TEAM, as opposed to US players who rely on one-on-one way too often.

I thought that this US team would finally take care of business, now they will be lucky to win bronze. I am ashamed and disgusted.

So I have been training for basketball and i've been playing outside alot w/ a dimpled outdoor ball. It seems like the ridges in my fingers, like the fingerprint lines are getting cut, kind of like a paper cut, just along the lines, very easily.



Why does this happen?-is it the ball that does this?(also remember, i sit sometimes for 10 min. just dribbling)

Will i grow calluses and make these cuts more rare?

Is there anyway to help these heal faster?-b/c it is really hard to play basketball, musical instruments, and even type with them.

Also, does this happen to anyone else?

If i play indoor w/ a smooth indoor ball, will this also occur?

thanks! pls. try to answer all the questions if you can! :D

The giant ego of American atheletes and lack of discipline. If they were Europeans and had that attitude then they wouldn't be playing for long.

It has already been announced to be Lisa Leslie, but I was wondering what the fans and general public think. I personally think Leslie should win it, slightly over Taurasi.
