BALL GAME

Ball Game…who’s got next?

Jumping sweet Georgia Brown how in the name of the association do NBA professionals receive the beat down from their international foes? It’s the classic case of the finger stuck up you know where. For so long, basketball an American game invented by a white guy named James Nesmith was dominated by whom else? Americans. The game has developed into a free flying circus, pushed by brothers making more bank than Sierra Leone. The reasons for this fall from grace since using NBA players in all fairness is simple to solve.

Hey I love the NBA like the next guy, but for real let’s get down to the solution. So we don’t suffer another embarrassing NBA moment. First send the best professionals and college players. Second have these guys well coached and trained on international basketball. International ball and NBA ball are two different species. Third, get a Bobby Knight like coach to coach the spoiled ballers. If the NBA guys got to miss some NBA games so be it. The college ballers should be ready to go. Look if the international guys even tries to play NBA ball or make NBA teams, which there are quite a few out their now playing in the league, no way can a collection of divas and Slavic’s are going to beat the association on the regular, on NBA terms. Fourth, everybody on the team has got to be on the same page, with their heads thinking. True, we will never see another dream team one or two. The mailman, Jordan, Barkley, magic those cats were not only professional; they simply played basketball like you are supposed to. You check your man, guard the basket and execute pure passing and cutting. These hip hopers are all show and no play. Hip hop ball players need to reexamine their games. Running and dunking is a great circus act for the NBA on a regular NBA night. Leave it to the NBA to adopt the street playground style game. The NBA of the pure shooters, the grit defense and determination has faded. The Steve Kerr’s can play to. Bob Cousy would have never played in today’s NBA. Walt “Clyde” Frazier would have never played in today’s NBA. And he was defensive specialist; “Clyde” was the ball hawking and theft specialist.
Defense is the last thing you do in the NBA. With scores like 110 to 105 every other night. Fifth, go on a European and Caribbean “Harlem Globetrotters tour a year before and play these bums before the Olympics.

And just because we lost to these guys doesn’t mean are guys sucked. These guys play on the same damn team for 20 years. These guys get so pumped up as soon as they see USA and an orange/brown basketball they lose their minds about it. The Italians, the French, the Caribbean, the sub-Saharan Africans all have leagues and have developed rapidly. The Slavic’s are probably some of the best team players period. The world has caught up to the United States in terms of international team basketball. But, the world’s best ballers usually come to the NBA and American colleges and universities for graduate training and refining of their skills, because they won’t face the same competition at home. And for years are least wanted ballers, who were not NBA material have been abroad throughout the European leagues for decades now. Who’s got next?
