PLEASE DON’T READ THIS!!!!! in 1964 13 year old Elisa Johnson was raped and murdered in North Carolina, her body was found with multiple stab wounds, and now that you’ve read this, every night she will come to your house and hang from your closet with glowing red eyes, the only way to stop this is to post this to 10 other videos.

Past saturday the US team was infinitely better than Spain…. It seems this team is better than pasts.
But your players sometimes are still arrogants. Why they are laughing on the bench when you are winning by 30 points??

In the past 5-6 …
In the past 5-6 years the usa team has sucked because players are greedy , and don’t want to go on the team because they don’t get paid.
In the 90′s and further back it was about pride, and representing your country. This year I think that is back, but the past few years our team has been bad because a lot of good players don’t join the usa team, and the ones that do are selfish.
I think Team USA is going for gold this year.

When you have …
When you have growed up with players like Bird, Magic, Isiah, Jordan, Jabbar, etc… you cannot to left the NBA away… but right now, here in Spain, there is many people that think NBA is not what was.
We don’t understand why players with such talent cannot to play as a team.
I am sorry if I have ofended you.
