Ginobili: Team USA Dominance 'Part of the Past'

Quote:
"Manu Ginobili rates the United States as one of the favorites to win this year's FIBA World Championship, but the Argentine guard insists the days of Team USA's dominance are "part of the past," according to a SportsTicker report on ESPN.com. "Speaking from the site where Olympic champions Argentina will be competing in the Singapore Cup this weekend against Spain, Slovenia and defending world champion Serbia Montenegro, the San Antonio Spur believes the gap in the talent level between U.S. basketball and the rest of the world is gradually diminishing."

I agree it's diminishing, but the USA team are still the team to beat, and like the Exibition games, they can still beat teams by 30 points. I don't really understand why Ginobili said that, because that's only going to make the Americans madder, and make them have more drive to win the World Championships.

I think that Manu came to that conclusion just because the USA wasnt beating teams by 30 and 40 points like in the past, but I think the reason for the USA losing is because they were too cocky they came in and thought this would be a cake walk. But now its all bussiness they are focus and I believe they will win it all.

they are still much better, it is just the style of play is different and they arent used to it. if they played an nba type game usa would win by 50 every time, but argentina are the defending champs so i have no problem with him saying this

Argentina is good, but its still not close to becoming better than USA. Watch USA kill Argentina.

USA isn't as dominating as they were before because the international level of play is getting better and better with each passing year.

Brazil was just a fluke, look at the other teams we faced. They beat them by an average of 30 points even Puerto Rico a team that beat the United States in the 2004 Olympics. This USA team is hungry and they'll demolish everything insight. I agree with you Dr Fresh that the International game as improved and the United States team are not as good. But if you think about it there really good, because people keep comparing every team to the 1992 Dream Team, which was unstoppable.
