For what team are you rooting for?(obvious question i guess)

For what player are you rooting for?(NBA player who plays for??or Rubio maybe? Cool

)

What are the favorite teams?

What a G!

Definitely NBA i wouldn't be staying 3 and 4am to watch the Celtics if i liked FIBA more.

Now that's just me. Other people like tactics, zone play and bs..I'm not in their minds.

There are a lot of reason and i will guess some.

They like FIBA
Racism
They can't watch NBA due to time zone.

just cuz they cant watch doesn't mean they wouldn't

if people WOULD choose NBA over FIBA, it doesn't matter if they could

Yeah but you can't prove that.

I think they would but that doesn't change the fact that FIBA is more popular.

1 word:

NBA

even though its 3 letters.

Yeah..NBA for sure..I don't like FIBA too unless Olympiacos is playing and now i won't be watching them a lot cuz Linas and Afro man is out..Nesterovic is in but he isn't anything special.

lol afro man. he's had that thing since forever. i remember watching him @ Stanford in college. BIG. HAIR.

He's sick. I'm excited to see what he'll do. Hopefully BEAST!

he's good at everything but i haven't seen his jumper recently. it was always iffy before

He has improved his shot even though he takes some dump three pointers some times.

hmmm. im interested enough to watch phoenix next year. they got a lot of guys that can handle with childress and turk and nash and hill. hill's kinda broken down but he can still control the ball. idk how good they'll be w/o more than 1 true big, but they might be fun to watch.

Me too, i will definitely watch them this year..

+1

While FIBA is definitely more popular than the NBA,i would still watch the NBA because it's exciting basketball,with very hard tempo and the stars get to do some of their one on one game which is a thing,a coach in Europe would waste his attack for...

Serbia beats Croatia in the clutch,73-72!

Yeah..And i was almost sure Croatia will win when they stole the ball while being down 1 point. Sadly he missed one of the two free throws and Serbia had the chance to win and won.

Greece vs Spain next..

Poppovich did great,it's just the fact that Rasic drawed the foul,hit the first free throw and made a very smart decision to miss the second which didn't aloud for Croatians to have better attack....

We will see how will Greece do against Spain.I have a feeling that Greece will squeeze out of this because how bad Spain has become but it's basketball,you never know what's exactly going to happen

But he missed one of the free throws in the last 15 secs, if he hadn't miss Croatia could have won.

Greece lost...80-72 to Spain....

Damn..For the fifth straight time we get knocked by Spain in a big competition. It's unbelievable.

Again....You just keep losing...

How were the reaction in Greece,Chris?
