It's not argument for fans ofc, but only players know what's going on with their body. My statement goes to unecessary killing of basketball(players) by FIBA



It's an honour to represent your country on any tournament, but clearly some of them don't have that feeling ( the ones who declined)



btw. Micić stay with team after his mother's death and he was pretty good today against USA.

That's a different way to think between US and Europeans players maybe.

Few years ago yes, but in last years Europe basketball is becoming like NBA and everyone trying to get more profit from it and easiest way is to put 3 games weekly with all travelling across the Europe... but it's too wide to speak of.

Anyway, imho France have biggest chance of winning this WC.

My wish is to win against Spain in finals. We have so much past between us. Our "best enemy".

I can imagine Simmons being unhappy about his decision if they win it all.


Their offensive flow wouldn't be as good with him. Just saying...

Lillard and McCollum had a deep playoff run this year and as far as I remember they played a lot in the regular season too. So, I can kinda understand their decision, but it was still disappointing.
For Beal it's different. Sure, his regular season might have been tiring, but he has had the summer off, as always. WC could have been a highlight in his career. Can't imagine he's really looking forward to next season. The Wizards will be at the bottom again, no matter what Beal does.
Was Love even invited to Team USA? Well, I just spotted his name
AD would have been great for the frontcourt, but he's injury prone and was probably afraid to get hurt again. Annoying, but still reasonable. Lowry did have surgery, so he was off the table anyway.

Harris and Randle also would have been helpful...

You are most likely right, but I'm sure, Ben doesn't give a shit ;)
In any case he would have been a nice addition. Not sure about the team chemistry though.

Some prediction contest stuff - sorry for not putting semifinalists earlier, deadline's moved to 10 AM CET to give you a chance of making your tips.
