Okay then. But those black guys on the team are Americans and no sports team is likely to match the demographics of the USA. The fact is only a few white men can jump and a lot of black guys can. I prefer to look for excellence instead of trying to match demographics.

It wasn't a clock error. It was a decided attempt by the officials to give the Soviets THREE chances to win that game, which they eventually did in one of the most disgusting displays of officiating interference in Olympic history. Then again the man in charge of the the Olympic Basketball tournament had commented before the games that he didn't want to see the US win.
NONE of those silver medals have EVER been collected. They sit in a vault at the IOC building. The IOC every 10 years or so sends out letters about them. The standard response is.... "If you want to give me my Gold medal great, otherwise go pound sand." Most of the US Basketball players have it written into their wills that their descendents are not allowed to collect the silver medal either.
US basketball team my ass!!!!
Only if it is the United States of Zimbabwe!!

That was just a joke based on the fact that the US basketball team DOES NOT represent the demographics of the United States.
If America's basketball were so overwhelmingly dominated by hispanics I'd have no problem making a similar joke:
The United States of Bolivia or the United States of Paraguay, etc, etc...
That was just in good fun.

Y'all need to keep an eye on my boy Kevin Love, best rebounder in the game and future star, he had the first 31 point/31 rebound game since Moses Malone in 1982.

And Love plays for the next "it" teams!

I love Larry Bird, I was too young to really watch him play but I watched some of his old games, I watched game 4 of the 1984 NBA Finals with Boston vs LA yesterday and the man was a beast, best small forward to ever lace them up.

Yeah, I'm glad he came back to Indiana and is running the Pacers now. He loves his Celtics, but his heart is back home in Indiana, where he belongs!

Isn't ESPN Classic great!!!
A couple of weeks ago I watched a playoff series game between the Celtics and the Bulls in 1986, it went two overtimes and Jordan scoured 63 points,,,,but the Celtics won!

That 1986 Celtics team was one of the best in NBA history.
Thank God for ESPN Classic! Their friggen amazing!

No kidding! As 1986 was pre-T-Wolves time, my best friend and I were Celtic fanatics (that when I got my Clover leaf tat). We taped all the games of the finals. Now if a person could ever find a VHS player!!
What amazes me is that every time I watch that specifc game, the Celtics win in 2 OT's!
I think if the 2008 Celtics had gotten together 3-4 years earlier, they would also be considered a Celtics great team and they would have more titles. Now it looks like they are going to tap out with just 1 and its a shame because they definently deserve more championships, and Lebron does not deserve to ever win a title.
