Slovenia wins Eurobasket

Seeing Goran get Petrovics singlet was the highlight for sure.

Surely it won't take ten years for a full strength USA team to get beaten. I'd be surprised if it doesn't happen at the next Olympics.

Try and watch this clip without a tear coming to your eye, Goran Dragic presented with Drazen Petrovic's Nets singlet.

Australia might want to play friendlies with Euro teams, but I imagine those Euro teams already have enough demand within Europe including weaker nations, and then even African teams?

I think Australia is also trending to being the one who can knock off the US if our momentum continues. Exciting times.

Anon, 109, I'm assuming you immigrated to Oz in the last few years. We had the Soviet Union come here in 1987 and 1988 (maybe you do remember). The issue now is that with the Euroleague, regional leagues (VTB, Adriatic League etc) plus domestic championship, most European leagues run into June, leaving absolutely no time for tours and fairly limited tournament preparation time.

As for ins and outs, didn't you also have Boban Marjanovic and Micic to ease the blow a little? Talk on Interbasket stated that Boban previously missed NT commitments because of trying to find an NBA foothold and that didn't endear him to Djordevic.

Call it semantics, but Australia's FIBA Asia Cup team was third string, where perhaps only one of Newley/Creek, MacCarron and Hodgson may make a full stength side given team needs. I'd have you at a second string plus.

Was it really their third string lineup? Doubt it.

Yes but the naturalised player rule needs to be looked at when it comes to naturalising players with ZERO links too that country.

A good win however and nice to see a new winner of the tournament.

Too bad it was won by cheating the system.

They gave Anthony Randoloph a passport when he had no connection to the country at all. Never even played in Slovenia.

Brett Brown on SEN radio yesterday confirmed Jawai and Andersen won't be available for the Boomers in the coming months.

He didn't say why, does anyone know? Both have signed new contracts with European teams, maybe that's the basic reason there...?
