world team vs USA - OPINIONS ?

Sorry I did forget to mention the Brazilian boys who were ultra competitive. Nicolas batum has a lot to work on but definately fits into that 3 spot with kirelenko and deng !

People talking about which USA team turns up - the same argument is for the internationals - if you take just the internationals from the olympics then yeah maybe US still win, but add bogut nash and dirk etc. you have a ball game .

VART that 2-3-2 format you have mentioned would be an absolute eye catcher. As we all know a series of games helps better determine who the better team actually is. having this every 2ns or so year wouldnt hurt I wouldnt think surely. The US team would sure as hell love to do it - all you hear about is how much they love the opportunity to play with each other, chris paul saying the other day it was the funnest time of his life !

And the europeans would love to show the americans who the real powerhouses of the basketball world are !

Im sure as hell that the NBA could see this as a markteting option, as said before " Its taking the world to beat us!"

David stern should stop trying to make the world champs into a world "cup" per say ! (a whole nother topic)!

And bring something like this to the world - something unique that not many other sports would have. the world cup would just be another steam roll for the US . Where as something like this would create some real interest. A world cup ? basketball doesnt have a big enough following for that !

I'd love to see it but it won't happen - the NBA & the owners won't go near anything where there's a sniff that the US might lose their super-hero image.

I think putting it into all star weekend would be pretty sick. Or maybe even at end of pre season NBA or post finals. OBVIOUSLY needs to work for all leagues around world.

Even if you just had it for nba based players still would be great. And bron i think defensively international's would be better and sneak a win .

What is wrong with these guys at FOX?
Don't they watch their own show?

That Starting 5 show is a joke,like watching dubbed movies from the 70's.

The interview with L.J was unbearable to watch.

You could also clearly hear free throws hit the net when the ball had only reached the front rim!

Liven up FOX!

I think your forgetting a healthy bogut is the best centre in the nba behind dwight and Bynum. Defensively would get the nod . but marc gasol would be his only competition.
