Why mostly black americans are selfish basketball players, example: Jason Terry, Marbury, Steve Francis?

Question

American writers always telling that those blacks are best defender, so athletically gifted but how come Americans were defeated by Europeans countries and Argentina, Puerto Rico in international basketball tournaments. How come they can't defend the 3-pt. shooters of Argentina, Lithunia, Italy, Puerto Rico, Serbia-Montenegro, Germany, etc.? So why call them them the best defenders. Those Americans are over-rated and selfish that's why other countries defeats them now regularly. How i missed the years with MJ, Barkley, Bird, Pippen, Mullins, Robinson, Stockton, Malone, Johnson, etc. dominates world basketball.

Answer 1

stop this rubish man! Get over this race etc. Unite.

Answer 2

the only reason we didn't beat the european countries because we didn't have any great players on team. Some good but not great. The American team in the olympics was the third string team. No superstars. Jason Terry, Marbury and Steve Francis didn't play in those games u a*sh*le. Do u think a team with all white people could place in 3rd place in the olympics, Maybe last. That was there countries best. That was our countries third best. They are not selfish don't you watch the nba cares commercials.

Answer 3

Are you a racist? Well to answer one of your questions, as far as the olympics go, we lost because a lot of our best players backed out because of reports of civil unrest. Kevin Garnett, Shaquille Oneal, Kobe Bryant, Tracy Mc Grady, Ben Wallace, Chauncey Billups, Hamilton,Ray Allen to name a few. They filled the team with 2nd Tier players who couldn't shoot the three ball. Keep in mind that the Euro three point line is shorter than the NBA three and those teams play together year round in Euro tournaments, they are not just thrown together every four years. Europeans shoot. That is what they do. They don't defend. Aside from Dirk Nowitzki can you name any other bonafide European super star? There aren't any. Peja's okay but he is no super star and he a horrible defender. You have selfish players in all sport and you named three selfish players, who happen to be black, but you fail to name the unselfish players, like Dwanye Wade, Le Bron James, Jason Kidd, Chauncey Billups etc, etc, etc. Americans players are the best. When was the last time you seen a European player win the Defensive Player of the Year Award. Never and you never will. Don't hate appreciate. If we put our Best against their Best we will smoke'm. The World Champion Miami Heat are pretty much euro free.

Answer 4

First of all your a f'ing idiot. Secondly, when has Jason Terry and others been apart of Team USA? At least get your examples right you freakin retard. Thirdly, Tim Duncan isn't a Native American (born in the Virgin Islands) and isn't a selfish guy...but he was still apart of that embarrasing team that finished 4th at the Olympics. And finally, those guys like Larry Bird that you mentioned didn't have to face anyone. In the 20 years since the Dream Team there has been a LOT of improvement of the talent of basketball players in the world. There were no Dirk Nowitzki's, Manu Ginobli's, Tony Parker's, Steve Nash's, Yao Ming's and other NBA All-Star's that are foreign born.

Answer 5

Name 10 great european [players. You cant. European players are soft. All they can do is shoot. They cant defend and post up and be phisicial. Thats why dirk didnt win the championships cuz thier also a bunch of choke artist. They are weak little cryy babies that all they do is flop. The only reason ther US lost is because thier wrent any supierstars except for a few. Sure dwayne wade and lebron were thier but they were rookies at the time. TAnd by the way am not racist i jsut dun like ppl talking sh*t about the US .think insternational players do have one advantage. They are better fundamental players. Try to beat the US in 08. Good luck. Europe doesnt stand a chnace now. Look at the line up we got in 08. Wade, Lebron, Kobe, Amare S, Gilbert Arenas, Dwight Howard, Elton Brand, Shawn Marion, Chris Paul, Paul Pierce, Billups, Carmelo, Lamar Odom....lol man not to mention Morrison and Greg Oden.

Answer 6

This is not the race problem, this is the players problem.

Not all the NBA players are selfish, in my mind, selfish player just included AIlen Iverson, Kobe Byrant, Marbury & Steve Francis.

It is too judgement for your opinion. Why don't you see Shaq's performance this season. He scarifice his leader status to Wade for the winning.

By the way, I also miss the pick and role of Stockton and Malone.
And Lithunia is really powerful national team.

Answer 7

how is Jason Terry selfish for on? dude had to carry the Mavs team durin the playoffs on Dirk's off night's (Dirk is still the Mavs best player btw, ;))! second one r u racist or sumthin? the league is mostly african american, there r very few white players, but thtz jus how it is the best players r in the league, but the way u worded ur ? makes it seem like all africans r selfish basketball players which is not true, the USA teams jus didn't take the right mix of guys 4 the last olympics. and btw most african nba players like chris paul and chauncey billups are not selfish, next time do ur hw b4 u ask s*it like this.

Answer 8

Some of those guys who were on that team don't even start in the NBA. How is Jason Terry selfish?

Answer 9

players in Euro leagues know their team roles - not like the majority of NBA players. NBA players want to be on the spotlight all the time, anything to boost their endorsement deals, salary, popularity, and most especially, their ego. they hog the ball to boost their stats. in short, they dont play team ball, they forget the real aspect of basketball, that it is a team game.

Answer 10

Its isn't a race problem it is an interpretation of someone's game issue. They believe it is their job on their team to take the majority of the shots, so they do. thats really it
