Well maybe the player didn't deserve the foul?

What the heck is "the Boomers game"? What does that have to do with the Olympics?

The Boomers aka Australia. Maybe the player didnt deserve the foul but giving how the US were 30 or so points in front the way he carried on was over the top and typcail of the US teams behavior in the past. Maybe its because of histroy that I'am blowing things a little bit out of portion but hey sometimes they really do just carry on when its not needed.

Whatever basketball team played your Boomers wasn't the current Olympic team.

Just because they're American basketball players doesn't mean they're all the same team.

This team was specifically built and created for this specific Olympics. It had its own management, coaches, and players.

The instance of one player from some other team b****ing about a foul during some game years ago has nothing whatsoever to do with the team we're talking about now.

By the way, I saw a LOT of b****ing from opposing teams like Spain and Greece this Olympics. Much more than I saw from the US team.

Bit hard to name names when they only US basketballer I really know is Bryant. But I did mention the Boomers game where there were some incidents. One incident in the 4th with US up by 30 or so points when a Boomers play was put down and the US player carried on when the refer gave a foul agasint him.



Ohhh..so you think that just b/c our team is so damn dominant in the game, that our players are supposed to take it easy on other teams and have no right to dispute calls that are thought to be unfair, like the rest of the players do. Grow the f*** up, dude.

The Boomers gmae I'am tlaking about was in this years Olympics, so yeah it was the current Olympic team. I know the US have done a lot in this Olympics to try and clean up how the world veiws them. But incidnets such as the one I was talking about just ruins all that work.

Sounds more like you're trying to find some reason to pick on them after they creamed your team, and you picked one instance of one player committing the crime of getting upset at a possibly unfair foul while winning. Ye gods!

I didn't see the Australia-US game (I still don't know WTF "Boomers" is), but I saw most of their other games. I saw very, very little whining on both sides, and most of it was opposing teams. Athletes always b**** when they feel they have unfairly been called for an infraction.

Ok the Boomers is the nick name of the Australian basketball team. Maybe I'am being a bit harsh on the US but for me its gunna tkae a lot more then just one Olympics to improve how I see the US basketball team, and a lot more people across the world will share my views on them.
