    We need to deport Luka. So international players don't get better in the NBA.

    Bol Bol can stay.

    Watching the 96 team on tv, so underrated. Size. Shooting. Rebounding. Defense. Athleticism in the front court and back court. High IQ. And a whole lot of personality. Hakeem!

    I like team usa, but they did my sister nneka and chiney very wrong. They should be on team usa, if you dont want them, fine let them play for Nigeria. I feel bad for them, because my dad actually knows not only their father but emeka okafor and amobi okoye's dad too

    One thing not being brought up besides the officiating is the technology in the rims in the nba compared to FIBA.

    the nba has magnets in their rims according to the YouTuber karceno4life. And now I’m starting to believe it. He stated that the magnetic technology was added at the end of the 2014 season. And has been used ever since

    looking at some of these bricks by lillard, Durant and others out here. The ball is clanging off the rim in these games differently than they do in the nba

    you think I’m crazy, but it’s the truth

    just watch the misses, in the nba the ball generally hits the back iron and bounces straight up in the air a lot more. I’ve yet to see that happen in these scrimmages

    start at 3:10 of the video below

    From what I've see, if not for Lillard's shooting they'd lose every game.

    Magnets? o_O

    If people say the rim and backboard are of different weights or the material is different (between NBA and FIBA), I can maybe give leeway on if a 'leather' basketball clangs off of different material. Like the bounce property differ if one bounces a ball off a brick wall vs a chained fence at a park. Between NBA and FIBA, are the backboard made of different plexiglass/temperred glass for example.

    A more likely scenario is NBA arenas have all these cameras attached (like the dunk cam), more weight is added to the overall structure of the backboard which could affect the way a ball bounces off of a rim.

    The speculation on magnets is kinda looney... a basketball is leather and air, it's not made of metal.

    But see if the women are forced to wear it, then they'd have to force the men as well. :eek::D

    Magnets? Scott Foster is offended!
    Its enough for him to show up once in a series to mess your shot and passing for good...he can do better job than magnets if you need fixing bb games.
