AI, lebron, and Amare were just suspended for our first exhibition game against Puerto Rico. We still won the game, but I hope this was just a one time thing with the suspension and not a foretelling of the problems we're going to have.

they got stuck in traffic and were a little late for a meeting. they will play in next game, but overall the team didnt look to impresive. well at times but they didnt bring it like i thought they would the entire game with brown as the coach.

I can see Indianapolis all over again. US doesn't rule as much as they used to.

I think US will dominate because the guys they have there now are hungry for gold, last olympic team was just hungry...too much fast food led to laziness I think

Dwayne is the man. He out shined Steph. Everyone here was saying the Wade is overrated, he is not at all. Wade will be the starter soon. D Wade + Shaq = CHAMPIONS!!!! lol

Every young talent is overrated. People these days just love young guys and love to trash proven guys. Kidd is too old, Shaq is too old, etc... BS That's why the drafts are full of high schoolers. If this keeps up, in 3/4 years teams will start drafting from kindergarden

If this keeps up, in 3/4 years teams will start drafting from kindergarden I usally agree with you Jogo, but this one and the MJ Vs. Kobe post aren't like you. "All young guys are overrated". Whats with that? You could say that MOST young guys are, but not all. Your gonna tell me that Bron didn't live up to the hype??? Carmello didn't live up to his expectations??? Wade wasn't even sopposed to do what he did, so how can he be overrated??? And for Shaq, he will never be to old, he is the MOST DOMINTANT PLAYER IN THE NBA. Kidd, everyone says he is old because of the injuries. That will slow him down, but he is still one of the top PG's in the game. So, come on Jogo. Not every young player is overrated.

If this keeps up, in 3/4 years teams will start drafting from kindergarden I agree about all the High Schoolers getting drafted. It would be fine if they went by skill level, not potental. He a high schooler has "potential" let him go to college and get the skills needed.

I'm starting to realise that everyone is overrated. I'm overrated, you are overrated and even god is overrated just because they say he made the world in 7 days and took one to rest.

Wade wasn't overrated at the draft day but he is now. I think he is better than Carmelo from what I've seen in the playoffs but most people saw it too and started jumping on the bandwagon and saying he is a Top 20 which he isn't right now. Carmelo is good but people must start seeing the difference between potencial and curent value and I don't see him even close to LeBron. Bron is a different case. I respect LeBron too much. I didn't know him before his first game and I was thinking: There is another overrated high school player. There was so much hype I though he would pee his shorts in his first game. Well he didn't. And after one season he has my respect. Not because of his skills. There are lots of players with skills. It's because of his mental toughness. That is very rare That's the way I see it. And there's no doubt in my mind that my opinions can be unbiased because I'm not from the US and I have no clear favorite team. I just like the league and or I like what I see, or I don't. Of course I don't watch everything but...

I agree with whoever said whatever about lebron's mental toughness. Plenty of players have the athletic talent, but it all comes down to what you got in the head
