USA loses to Canada

[Devastation]

In the FIBA Under-21 World Championships in Basketball.

Canada defeated the USA 93-90 in overtime in the quarterfinal round, setting the United States' record back to 5-1.

Levon Kendall had 40 points for the Canucks (3-3).

Of all the countries to lose to, we'll never live this down. :D

[bluesheep]

You guys think we suck at basketball but basketball is getting so popular here it's unbelieveable, I heard somewhere that it just might take over hockey in Canada. Levon Kendall is our best player, he plays for The University of Pittsburgh. I had a chance to watch him play when the Canadian Under 21 National Team came to my city, we womped Team Brazil that game by the way:).

[STiSchucky]

oh, they did?

how many canadians have been drafted in the past 5 years?

its less then 5, youre still our bitch.

Wait....who just won that FIBA game? That's right, that's a sign we're getting stronger.

its a shame nobody actually gave a shit, especially in america. if you were to do taht on a broader stage like the olympics against a line up like..

Kidd
McGrady
Garnett
Duncan
Shaq

You wouldnt even score 40 points, while we score 140 pts. nice try

[Kenyan]

yea.. but Steve nash is... CANADIAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and he is one of the best basketball players in the NBA ( won mvp)

And its not a first that usa loses to canada. In the Olympics, Hockey. Canada has won gold how many time in the past 10 years? ( male and female)

[Devastation]

Well, good news, the US picked itself up and drubbed Puerto Rico 99-79.

That makes me feel better.

Bring it on Canada! Rematch in the finals! :D

To tell you the truth, 99% of American's don't give a flying fuck about Hockey, while 99% of Canadians worship the sport

I'm not saying we're ready to take on a line-up like that, but come 15 years we'll be pretty ready, basketball is growing like crazy in Canada.

Basketball sucks as much as golf does but it is becoming more and more popular.

In 15 years the USA will have genetically altered super-basketball players

Think you'll have nukes in 15 years to?

Please, Canada is just like any european country when it comes to basketball.

Steve Nash-Canada, Allstar

Dirk Nowitzki-Germany All star

Jamaal Magloire-Canada All star

Peja Stojakovic-Bosnia & Herizgobina or whatever All star

Congrats, like 2 all stars from canada and 2 all stars from Europe.

Jason Kapono(2nd round pick by Cleveland, UCLA product) said it best. "Man, all I have to do is grow a beard, move over to eastern europe, shoot a few jumpers, change my name to jason kaponovich and I'll be a top 5 pick"

As much as Im a fan of european basketball especially in the olympics, their products don't compete with the greatness of the NBA. they just dont cut it here, to big of environment.

Yeah those, same european teams you're talking shit about swept the floor with Team USA at the Athens Olympics, you may remember, Jasikevicus hit the 3 pointer plus the foul to give Lithuania the lead with 1 minute left. The supposedly "unbeatable" USA team lost to Lithuania that game,


Haha, I still get chills down my spine when I see the clip of Jasikevicus hitting the 3 pointer plus the foul then starring down Lamar Odom. He could easily play in the NBA and be an all-star there.

Hell i knew we werent goin to win a gold.- you aint gonna win when you have 0 shooters, who USA had none. 0 assist men, who USA had none. I guess you could make a point for marbury, but hes still a shoot first pass second pg.

oh well. that was the first time we lost in 3 olympic games, not like we'll be able to win em again.

oh and its kidna hard to mesh a team in a months time and expect em to do good against teams that have been playin together for years

[Devastation]

Well, the USA beat Argentina today 111-85.

Feelin' better already.

You moron, Duncan said he retired from FIBA competition


USA isn't getting worse, just other teams are getting beter


Canada has a good squad, they have two all star players in Magloire and Steve Nash.

Puerto Rico has a good upcoming future.

[Obeseanorexic23]

You could have all the best players from the USA play against any team and lose because when you have all MVP's training on the same team it's pretty hard to have each super ego play as a team......its all about teamwork and they need more time...even with enough time they still would never play as good as they should because they all want to be the best

They need to go back to the days when the NCAA champs were our olympic team.

[Obeseanorexic23]

Seeing pro's in the olympic sports is not cool.....the Olympics fell into making this sporting event with putting in professionals for the sole purpose of $$$$$$$. It sucks to see basketball and other sports like hockey having professionals ...it should be definitely college athletes it destroys the purpose of the Olympics....If the USA had college players on the team I bet they would beat the current team USA because they would actually play as a team and not be fully corrupted by agents and the $$$$ like soo many NBA/Hockey players are today ...it's a shame :(

What the hell Kapono is saying? Just because he adds a "vich" to his name doesn't mean that he becomes a top 5 pick.. He'd first have to prove his worth in the Euroleague or any other professional basketball league in Europe, then he'd have to earn a spot in the national team, score 20 or more points a game (or at least show great potential), before he can be a top 5 pick. NBA scouts are not dumb. Just because a player's name sounds Greek or Serbian to us doesn't mean he instantly deserves to be drafted in the first round!

On second thought, NBA scouts can also be dumb when it comes to picking real talent. Remember Nowitzki, Kirilenko, Ginobili, et al. - all selected in the late first round or in the second round...

[Zeph84]

In case anyone didn't say this already, basketball was invented by a Canadian. Just thought I'd point that out.

[viper22]

The point is, our basketball team beat your basketball team.

OK name 1 top 15 pick that has lived up to expectations

Tskitshivili? Milicic? Jiri Welsh? god theres so much. but like you said, Nowitzki AK 47 were all low picks, Kapono said top 5.
The point is, our basketball team beat your basketball team.

Which is why you have never won a medal in it. :icon_rofl

[Forest1]

Team USA:

Justin Gray -the reason why this team wins at all
Allan Ray,
Marcus Williams,
Terrence Roberts,
Nick Fazekas,
Rajon Rondo,
Mardy Collins,
J.J. Redick,
Rudy Gay,
Curtis Withers,
Taj Gray,
Glen Davis.

thats the truth

[MegaSuperdude]

Everyone says Canada sucks at Basketball.... Now who won MVP?

Canadian Steve Nash.

Oh dear... looks like you've wet yourself.

[Jimothy51]

Canadian Steve Nash.

Oh dear... looks like you've wet yourself.
He won the MVP but he definatley wasn't the best player. I don't think he was even the best player on his own team. I'd take Duncan, Shaq and Amare any day.

[viper22]

ok but he was the MOST VALUABLE PLAYER, and coming from you saying that other players were better doesnt mean anything. im sure the people who picked him know alot more then you

[STiSchucky]

Yeah its hard when you got 4 15 ppg scorers with you. Amare stoudemires a beast, if it wasnt for him, Nash wouldnt of won MVP. Now outside of Nash's pathetic defense, his inability to play a full quarter, he is no where near the top of the league in terms of valuabliity. Look, Andre Miller had similar stats back in 2002 with CLE avging double digit assists. Did he deserve some MVP love? no, but he managed to do that with who? Ricky Davis? No Lebron James. Outside of Phoenix winning a whoopty do what, 60 games, nash wasn't all that great.

Tim Duncan got robbed, again. Outside of 2003 when KG got MVP, TD woulda been a 4 time MVP, which he shoulda been MVP this year.

Nice try canada, but 1 player undeservingly so gets an MVP, does not make your country better then ours, nor does it say your catching us. You, and the rest of the world are still levels below us in terms of talent.

[Devastation]

In case anyone didn't say this already, basketball was invented by a Canadian. Just thought I'd point that out.
And he invented it in America.

Either way, it's irrelevant.

You guys wouldn't even have basketball if it weren't for us.

[Enjoi]

go canadia!

[Kommercial]

USA whips Canada's ass in everything except FIBA, whoop-tee-fucking-doo.

i dont even like sports, i just like canada

[STiSchucky]

ok. so what do you want out of it? a round of applause? hows it feel to be ranked not even in the top 5 for teams in terms of country?

USA/Argentina/Bosnia&Herzegovino/Spain/Lithuania

[bluesheep]

What I'm saying is you guys wouldn't even be top 5 if it weren't for us.(And there's the fact that we're improving ALOT.)

And your list is terribly wrong....

USA
Argentina
Serbia and Montenegro
Lithuania
Croatia or France or Brazil


That's how it is.......


Oh, and Canada is very underrated in basketball. Do you remember the Sydney olympics? Here are some standings to refresh your memory....

Canada's schedule:


Canada 101 Australia 90
Canada 99 Angola 54
Canada 91 Spain 77
Russia 77 Canada 59
Canada 83 Yugoslavia 75

That's right, we beat powerhouse teams like Yugoslavia,Spain and Australia.

We lost in the semis to France by 3. (France who also is a powerhouse)

[STiSchucky]

i thought Spain was 5-0 and the team to beat last year... i dont remember them goin 1-4. I dont think those standings are right.

Btw, since when is France a legitimate powerhouse in basketball?? outside of that mikael pitkachu or whatever that plays for Golden State...France sucks. Theyre no good.

I must be missing something. Croatia? Who are they?

and brazil sucks to. this isnt soccer. i have no idea where those 3 countries come into play in terms of great basketball teams.

and Spain is pretty damn good.

France: they have quite a few players in the NBA (Tony Parker being one)


Croatia: You know? Croatia? The same team that played USA in the 1992 olympic finals.


Brazil: They have very good basketball down there (They have Nene, Anderson Varejao and Leandrinho Barbosa. And they have alot of good players that play in european leagues.)


(And yes, those standing are the real deal)

[james_b09]

USA whips Canada's ass in everything except FIBA, whoop-tee-fucking-doo.
wat do they beat canada in???? fuckin golf? o and mike weir wow some shit in golf a wile back.(i have no clue about golf)

[joka]

Bluesheep, I wouldn't be mentioning that a canadian invented it.

Because USA kills canada in basketball right now, and thats sad.

Thats like the inventor of candy land losing to a lawyer.


Anyways, not trying to take anything away from canada, but steve nash is good but he ins't all he is cracked up to be.

Best foreigner in the league? Peja.

[STiSchucky]

Dirk is the best foreigner.

and will be an MVP candidate next season. Book it.

Im not cracked up on parker either. I dont think hes all that great offensively. without quickness, hes nobody. His defense is good, but so is everybody on san antonio. im just not sold on him being an elite PG.

and brazils bball players suck. None of them even start.

and Croatia against USA in 1992? lol that was 13 years ago(3 olympic games ago) and croatia hasnt been shit since.

Oh shit bluesheep. i didnt see that you were talkin about the sydney olympics.

That's right, we lost to Puerto Rico for 3rd place in the qualifiying rounds though we beat them in the round-robin, had we had won that game we would have been in the Olympics. You may remember Puerto Rico, the same team that killed you guys the first game in the Athens 04 Olympics.

and inmate, way to post a non racist comment. well said

[hipocritical]

STiSchucky, were you raped by a Canadian when you were young therefore leading to a stupid hatred and a longing desire to prove that you're still the basketball powerhouse? Take a fucking chill pill its just basketball and your super-human American hero's in the NBA are still 99% un-tainted by the Canadian/European scum that begs to ruin the American Way.

[Perro]

Fuck Canada, you people suck at basketball, so you won one frickin game, whoopty-fucking-do, come back to argue when you win a gold medal you puck slapping pancake eating wood chopping flannel wearing sons of bitches.
