How can it be that the supposedly best players in the world
individually can be defeated by tiny, inauspicious countries? Has the
prop game that we love become too complacent? Too individually
oriented? Too lazy? Players don't want to practice and yet they are at
the bottom in the world at shooting a basketball-I wouldn't doubt that
high schoolers maintain a better FT%. I feel short changed. Am I
watching the best game on earfth or is it else where? Should cable tv
be piping in games from overseas? Not exciting enough you say-and this
may make us to blame by calling for the exciting individuals and not
desiring enough team play.
