Billy and Juan are the two best players in Euroleague, I agree... (Not speaking of Deron Williams of course. Billy and Juan can't carry his sweaty jockstrap in any league...)
The Olympics is at least 80% identical to the NBA in every single game Team USA plays. Team USA is allowed to travel. Team USA is allowed to palm the ball. Team USA is allowed to foul and play physical all they want (star treatment). The opponent is barely allowed to guard Team USA (star treatment). Team USA gets many free throws they did not actually earn (star treatment). The opponent does not get many free throws they actually should have gotten (star treatment). The only difference is that there is hand checking and no defensive 3 seconds and true zone allowed..........to which ONLY Team USA is allowed to use to their advantage in the hand checking. Team USA is given full hand check allowance to foul over and over and never get whistled, while the opponents are ALWAYS stripped of the hand check allowance, as they are NOT allowed to hand check Team USA. Starting in 2008 Olympics the rules committee changes the rules, for all games involving Team USA. FIBA did the same before the 2010 World Championship. The Euroleage never did any such rules changes. Besides that, Euroleague is much more physical than the Olympics anyway. As for Team USA's "domination", they beat Spain by 11 points. It was a 4 point game with 3 minutes left. At the end of the game, Team USA was gifted 4 free throws by the refs to insure they won the game, as the head of the Olympics group stage refs even later admitted to the press that the refs were ordered to make sure Team USA won. Team USA, playing under their own set of rules, and with some ref help, beat Spain by 11 points, playing on a court that was totally pro USA. That's the lowest standard of "domination" in world sports history. I am still waiting for the quotes of where I said the Euroleague has better and more athletic players than the NBA does.
Deron Williams was dominated (using your standard of "domination for Team USA), he was dominated under your own definition by a team from the Belgian League. DOMINATED according to your own standard, by a BELGIAN LEAGUE team.
100% of what you just wrote, is 80% false. I think the one thing you got right was on Spain giving the USA a good game. (How many NBA players are on Spain again?)
Have you ever played basketball? Have you ever played poorly against players that were clearly inferior? Easy enough to answer, so I'm not sure where you are going with that...
That's a lot of accusations without any proof. I assume we are supposed to take your word for it? Congratulations for raising a bunch of opinions which dont prove anything at all. At least we know how you feel
I can figure out why people even concerse with OHMSS. He is a window licking r****d with the personality of a fire hydrant.

(DWill CP3 Rose) are very good and can be better on any given night, i would honestly take CP3 over all of he has the best style, Dwill is close in second and Rose is in 3rd. as far as athleticism westbrook is the best in shape hands down. Rondo is very good but is over rated. westbrook and rondo tend to make fatal mistakes but they are young and still have time to develope. this league is loaded in PG's so its very debatable. lowry has shown much promise and I think he could be a force to be rekoned with.
Yes I have played tons of basketball. Never in my life would a "clearly inferior" player beat me. If it is a clearly inferior player you dominate them, even 1 on 3 you dominate them. Being yourself dominated by "clearly inferior players" is impossible. It cannot happen.
It's the worst NBA player looking like a poor men' Larry Bird in Italian League. This is the true level
this is a fact, most of them don't own their own apartments (and in fact, many of them are indentured tenant-farmers) and accordingly, they are lessors in relation to their landlords (which are also frequently the club/farm owners). Payment from the club/farm owners is generally too infrequent and sparse to allow them to hold property in fee-simple.
