Go USA am a tall black fan but would love to see USA win the the Championship especially with there young unexperienced team. 2012 olympics roster will be massive thinking something like this.
Dwight Howard/Chris Bosh/Amare Stoudemire
Lebron James/Kevin Durant
Kobe Bryant/Carmelo Anthony
Dwayne Wade/Brandon Roy
Chris Paul/Deron Williams/Derrick Rose
That Serbia/Turkey SF was incredible.
USA vs the host nation Turkey in the Gold Medal Game.

Turkey incredibly lucky to win. Turkoglu tried to drible down sideline from out of bounds to suck a foul, no call and somehow the ball spilled to an unmarked Tunceri for the open layup.
And then on the 0.5 sec play, sure Eredan got the ball but he also barrelled the guy after that and Serbia rightly claimed free throws should have been awarded. The guy controlled the lob nicely and was in the act of shooting. If he had dribbled the ball there and elevated that foul would have been called regardless of time running out.
Turkey's run and gun offence stalled by Serbian defence, and they will find it even tougher against USA.
Serbia controlled much of the game and if they had not been so aggressive stopping the inbounds and defended their hoop, they probably should have got home.
Makes for a good final though.

Big win by Turkey.
The final should be a good one - the two form teams of the WC meeting in the final.

Slovenia lost to Russia and finished 8th (Russia 7th), whilst Argentina play Spain for 5th spot.
Vitaly Fridzon was on fire for the russians literally on fire he was draining shots.

Dont tell me there's no such thing as a home court advantage. Serbia were the better team & lost. The crowd pretty much picked Turkey up & got them over the line.
'Hey man i know you dont smoke weed but kevin im gonna get you high today, you dont have to go to work tomorrow you dont have s**t to do, come on stimulate your mind'
Rudy Gay aka Chris Tucker to Kevin Durant aka Wtf is Lebron
Rudy gay and devean george should hang out more. Chris Tucker and Ice cube look a likes. Also i know they have a different skin colour but I see alot of Nene in Fernando Verdasco.
