Personally, I can't understand none of these guys that play for a foreign country.



Don't they are proud of their origin, their country?!

I can't imagine that they do it just to play in a big tournament like Eurobasket... <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />



If I was a professional athlete, I would never play for another country, never.





Also I think is stupid for countries that has a great dradition in basketball, like Croatia(and Spain), to give passports in Americans or whoever. <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thudown.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':thudown:' />

This would be a shame also for Greece, for Serbia, for Lithuania.



Come on, be proud for your country!! <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> [/quote]

Nothing is at stake that's yours already for thousands of years <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />



But they like to dream on <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/crazy.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />



You've gotta admit that it is fucking annoying that their win was all due to a 'naturalized' American with a Scottish surname, how very Slavic <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/crazy.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />



(If you ask me, naturalization for all national team should be banned)

I mean this jokingly no offense: Bo Mcalebb is playing amazing, BUT Getting beat by FYROM is like getting hit by an earthquake, being attacked by a wild bear and struck by lighting all in the same day. Say what you will but he is not winning alone. During the Greece game he did not score the last 6 minutes of the game??!! Greece had their chance to win a close game. They did not because of these guys; Pero Antic and Todor Grechevski. Antic looks like a Greek rapper and Grecheski looks like Frankenstein! Today Antic had 14pts and 19rbs 3ast and 2blks against!!! Don't only blame Bo alone if your team loses to FYROM! Don't blame naturalization! If you let two creepy old guys with back problems beat your national team then blame fate, God or the universe. Or just be reasonable and admit your team played poorly cause they let some old guys out rebound and play defense on them.....



I remember when Puerto Rico beat USA in the Olympics by like 30 pts....so I can relate. <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bag.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
