+7They had 3rd String out, if you watched the game, they made a 3 every possession. 72% field goals. Anthony made 10/12 on 3s to break the record, played 12 mins. The coach took him out then. No fast breaks in the 2nd half. I mean the team couldn't shoot that will wide open in practice. The Best game a team has ever had in the history of the sport. 50 points in the 1st Quarter!!! I mean, what can a team do, shoot at the wrong basket??? How bout put the fab 5 of women gymnastics come in and play? or have Nigeria have 10 players on court?
I don't judge you by your skin, I judge you by your actions, and a thug is a thug, no matter what the skin color is
same thing with gang bangres, know them to be in all colors, and the worst ones around here happen to be Filipino and Korean- granted out here though, our gang bangers are not near as vicious as in other places
(BTW, gang banger is just a fancy word for thug)
You must be way out of it then. This has been occuring for decades. Here is a good article about the stereotype http://www.thedailybeast.com/...
" white thugs that I know and the Latino thugs. [....] same thing with gang bangres, know them to be in all colors,"
You seem to be confused about the word stereotype. It does not mean reality. The people you know in REAL LIFE are irrelevent to the existance of a stereotype (in fact it could give evidence that blacks may still be greatly overrepresented as thugs in the media as opposed to their actual proportion)
and here we have athletes doing thier best and they get bitched at
I say, wtfiddlers is wrong with that picture?
Now if I was Coach MaKay, I'd be saying
"Alright" who's next, don't be shy, come and get some
"give no quartar, exspect no quartar"
something the War Department said back in the 1800's
whiners,
nothing but a bunch of damn whiners
I'd love to see dodgeball an Olyimic sport
prolly see crybaby's then
America put out her best players just like every other country in every other sport
including baskatball.
Those Nigerian players should never hang thier heads in shame
each and everyone of them could kick my ass on the basketball court.
there is no doubledribble in hockey :)
comparing the coverage and dead bodies now to the time Bush was in office
war? what war, there is no stinking war

A thorough bred was made to run.. You can't hold them back.
