Peja wont play the olympics

One of the greatest NBA player will not be playing in the olympics
the sharpshooter Peja Stojakovic, he just feel tired and dont want to play
for The Serbs.
http://sports.espn.go.com/oly/summer04/ ... id=1848199

This Olympic tournament are lacking the majority of the NBA superstars
like Garnett,Bryant, Stojakovic, Mac Grady etc

but I will still watch it.

Divac also will not be playing in olympics.
Serbian team is very weak without them.

I forgot they played for foreign countries.lol

Well then the USA could get a real revenge for the World championship 02
they just must win, i cant see any real contenders, just maybe
Lithuania but the USA with Duncan and James is a must win, if they play as a team.

USA better win or they might need to quit until they can get the absolute best people at each position playing

why's he being a bitch? "oh, i am tired of it." what a little bitch!

no contenders? ahaha, what about Argentina, Spain and Lithuania

obviously this makes Serbs weaker but they still may have some current NBA players

GO USA

C Duncan
F Stoudemire
F jefferson
G Iverson
G Lebron

F jefferson

F-Anthony

no way dude, Jefferson can actually shoot and his driving ability is real good.....and he doesn't hog

i also think that Carmelo should shut up with his promises, he hasnt done nothing yet and he's been running his mouth

Melo is the cockiest 12th man ever. God I hate that guy. I can't believe I liked him better than LeBron first. While LeBron turns out to be well-spoken and very nice and a great player, Melo is a bitch, cocky and the next Glenn Robinson.

agree with you 100% there Rens
he runs his mouth about the Pistons but even Denver was gonna draft Darko if it had the #2 pick

why's he being a bitch? "oh, i am tired of it." what a little bitch!

Hehe.. calling someone a bitch on a message board knowing they wont ever see it. That takes courage

C Duncan
F Stoudemire
F jefferson
G Iverson
G Lebron

I'd actually put lebron at sf, with marbury and iverson in the backcourt.

no way dude, Jefferson can actually shoot and his driving ability is real good.....

Carmelo can't shoot? lol.. Jefferson isn't Glen Rice. I think their shooting is about the same, and melo can slash well as well. Don't discount skeelllz.

and he doesn't hog

Nope, he's the number one option on the Nuggets. Just becuase a team wants you to shoot doesn't mean you're a hog.

he hasnt done nothing yet and he's been running his mouth

Winning a championship is nothing? Leading the nuggets to the playoffs is nothing? And running his mouth? He guaranteed gold, like rasheed gauranteed game 2 in the conference finals. Dont hate the player baby

Melo is a bitch, cocky and the next Glenn Robinson.

Why? Becuase they are both scoring small forwards who were high picks in the draft? Good comparison

he runs his mouth about the Pistons but even Denver was gonna draft Darko if it had the #2 pick

They would've benched him too

Melo is a bitch, cocky and the next Glenn Robinson.

Why? Becuase they are both scoring small forwards who were high picks in the draft? Good comparison

No, because they have similar games and because Melo is a cocky bitch who is the next Glenn Robinson.

So becuase they have similar games Melo is the next? I guess then:
Darko is the next Toni Kukoc
Iverson is the next Isiah
Vince is the next Harold Miner
Tmac is the next Dominique
KG is the next Wilt
Paul Pierce is the next Grant Hill
Lebron is the next Penny Hardaway

Come on Matthew you can come up with better comparisons than those I can't find one that actually fits.

Also, blind hate rules. It allows you to say any hateful thing about a player and not back it up. Melo is the next Glenn Robinson!

melo is probably saying publicly what a lot players on the team are thinking privately

no way dude, Jefferson can actually shoot and his driving ability is real good.....and he doesn't hog

i also think that Carmelo should shut up with his promises, he hasnt done nothing yet and he's been running his mouth

i agree jefferson should start, but melo has a sweet stroke.. lol

anyways

my lineup:

c - duncan
pf - amare/boozer
sf - jefferson
sg - lebron
pg - iverson

I think they will do good despite all of the NBA-Superstars who are not participating. We will see though, I hope USA can take home a gold medal without all the superstars.

ok im too lazy to reply with quotes and stuff but....
Melo did cry about not being selected to Team USA
Melo did have a sad when the Pistons where kicking his ass and refused to go back into the game
Melo isn't a hog.....yet, but making the playoffs was a team effort
Melo's guarantess count for nothing
Jefferson is less streaky and more experienced than Melo

i think ive bitched enough

P.S i don't think Marbury and Iverson starting is a great idea....i think Jefferson-AI-Lebron will have more passing than Lebron-Marbury-AI...besides you need somebody that can shoot

Marbury can't shoot? Iverson can't shoot? Jefferson isnt a great outside shooter..

Melo did cry about not being selected to Team USA

He wanted to be on the team.. and he said he wanted to be. Players get critisised for not wanting to play, and now melo is getting chastised for wanting to play?geeze..

Melo did have a sad when the Pistons where kicking his ass and refused to go back into the game

I don't remember this... but there are always two sides to every story.

Melo isn't a hog

But you said this about jefferson as to why he was a better starter than melo "no way dude, Jefferson can actually shoot and his driving ability is real good.....and he doesn't hog "
Thats implying that you think melo is a hog..

yet, but making the playoffs was a team effort

But Carmelo was the leader... he didnt do it by himself, i never said or implied it, but he did lead them.

Melo's guarantess count for nothing

Then why mention them if they count for nothing? What's he sposed to say? We might win the gold? Fuck that. At least he says what he intends on doing.

Jefferson is less streaky and more experienced than Melo

Look at jefferson's production in the playoffs and tell me he isnt streaky.

ok well u got me on the hog thing, so lets settle it....he hogs 50% of the time

andi believe that Jefferson is the best shooter from say 20ft on Team USA especially when he gets his stroke goin. And to answer why he was streaky in the playoffs, well thats simple....he played a superior DETROIT PISTONS team

still, Melo shouldn't make no guarantees.....Kobe did it, Sam Cassell did it and they both lost and countless others probably have too.

why's he being a bitch? "oh, i am tired of it." what a little bitch!

Hehe.. calling someone a bitch on a message board knowing they wont ever see it. That takes courage

and how do you know he wont see it? and if i knew the guy personally, i would say that to his face too. he's a fucking disgrace and a little bitch.

How is he a disgrace and a little bitch? He plays and works out year long for 6 years. People do get tired and they do need a break. Give him a break.

Melo is the cockiest 12th man ever. God I hate that guy. I can't believe I liked him better than LeBron first. While LeBron turns out to be well-spoken and very nice and a great player, Melo is a bitch, cocky and the next Glenn Robinson.

Sorry for being kinda late, but I couldn't agree more

Farken....

It's a shame Stojakovic is out. Divac definately won't play, he retired from international ball after the 2002 championships.

It's going to be tough to get a medal.
