Ball Don't Lie - NBA

Clyde Frazier, Bill Walton and my old high school basketball coach like to say "It's always the passer's fault" when discussing turnovers resulting from a bad exchange between two players. In this situation, they couldn't be more right.

That unpleasant little fall occurred during the halftime show of Sunday's Australia vs. Croatia preliminary basketball game in Beijing. Why Olympic organizers didn't just computer generate the whole routine, I have no idea.

    Jose Calderon "didn't get it" why it was a big deal that the Spanish team made "slant eyes" for a photo???? What?? How is it possible that in this day and age he "doesn't get it"??
    Maybe he needs to travel more or go back to school or something. Anything to get him out of "me, me, it's all about me, mode" Grow up dude!

    Hey Cari, don't make it such a big deal, their sponsors (Li-Ning, do you know where that brand comes from?) asked the Spanish Team to pose like that, it's not a question of whether the players respect Asian people or not! It's obvious they do!
    I think you're the one who could grow up a little bit...
    And one person doesn't make a whole country, ButtPirate... learn to think globally, no black player would join a Spanish team if that were true...

    Man it was the second to last pass that threw everybody off.
    That video illustrates the importance of teamwork better than all of Red Auerbach's combined.
