ah, how did I forget J.Lin starts every game with a prayer? TESTIFY!


my family friend is trying to get me to go to CCIC, crazed

I hope Jeremy Lin does his thing wherever he lands/stays. Big for Asian-American athletes in general.





Good to see most are welcoming of his breakout, probably due his humble attitude and polite mannerisms. Go Asians!

Anyone see the USA vs Brazil game today? Was close throughout. Brazil played the U.S. tough in Turkey as well. If Brazil with a combination of big men and strong guard play can push the 2012 team like that, what makes you think that All-Star centers and big men like Ewing, Robinson, Malone, and Barkely combined with Magic, Jordan, Drexler, etc. couldn't beat them?

They have no low post play.

Jamal Crawford/Travis Leslie


Caron Bulter/ GRANT HILL


Blake Griffin/Lamar Oden


DeAndre Jordan








Nice mix of vets and youth.

The Brazilian national team has 7 current or former NBA players. It was a big deal when The Dream Team played a team with one soon to be NBA player, Toni Kukoc.

Yeah, I'm pretty happy with this line-up. I just hope Billups doesnt break a knee cap & Lamar spends his time focusing on the game rather than his sloppy wife. I'd like to see Lamar put up 12 + every game.

So the 2012 team has a close one vs. a team made up of not as talented NBA players, but would beat hall of famers and all stars on the 1992 dream team? Again, I want what you're smoking.

Athletes are so much better today than 20-30 years ago.....there are probably a dozen or so heavyweight boxers that would kill Ali in his prime boxing today.

Rautins completed his national team playing career in 1992 as Canada was eliminated in the Tournament of the Americas, the Basketball qualifying tournament for the Barcelona Olympics.

Croatia could beat the Brazillian team.

I looked this up expecting it to be falling over or something, and instead it looks like something pretty simple - surely there were Americans doing this move before Marciuloinus? Or did he just popularise it?

Listen. I think this team could beat the '92 team. Im not interested in arguing over it for 3 pages. I gave you facts, i gave you sarcasm, but obviously this is just my opinion.. If 2012 loses the Gold, i still stand by statement. The Dream Team was a great team but the game is not the same...

You are out of your mind if you think anyone on the current team, including LeBron, is as good a player as Bird in his prime. It's not even close. Bird was a better shooter, passer and leader than all of those guys. And dude did it with the disadvantage of playing below the rim against the Showtime Lakers.




Haven't I met you before?
