PAO Gasol: "Euro Championship More Competitive Than World Championship"

[Kill_Bill_Pana]

http://www.talkbasket.net/news/pau-gasol-will-play-in-eurobasket-2009.html

Gasol himself stated:

"I wanted to talk to Scariolo because he is crucial to this project. At every step, Scariolo has been enthusiastic about my presence. We are all enthusiastic at having a great tournament.

The EuroBasket is very competitive, more than the World Championship. All the European teams are good and we cannot relax in any game. No one is going to give us anything for free. We are enthusiastic with the team we have but we cannot come out with the mentality that we will reach the final because we are very good. From the first day, we have to work and believe in our possibilities to give our best."

Now all the mofos in this forum who have called me names, insulted me, made fun of me, ask I be banned and all the other shits can fuck off. Like I said over and over Euro championship is better than World Championship and yet you stupid fuckers keep acting like it is a joke tournament. Actually it is overall harder even than the Olympics are to tell the truth. So you dumb fucks can fuck off now.

Right, they are more competitive because they are all worse than the Americans.

At least they know some Euro team will win the Euro championships. They know they will never win another world championship since the Americans started caring about international competition.

USA! USA! USA!

At the end of the day, lakerfan, mavfan, sunfan, and spursfan can all unite against KBP. :toast

Damn you started the troll baiting fast, well played.

Who is Pao Gasol? Another brother? Why should we care about his opinion?

[Chieflion]

In the end, the Olympics and such are a walkthrough for the US, even though I am not American. And who the fuck is PAO Gasol? I never seen anyone with their name all capitalized.

Does it mean Pussy and Odorless?

You fucking idiot. There is no Angola, no China, no Iran at Eurobasket like there was at Olympics. Overall it is very similar to Olympics and anyone arguing that obviously lacks basketball knowledge. But I guess you probably believe that China, Iran, Angola are basketball powers since they play at might Olympia with "USA USA USA":rolleyes:blah

The USA is better than all other teams.

That includes Eurobasket teams.

It's a fact.

USA! USA! USA!

[ChumpDumper]

I have no doubt that a competition between a bunch of middling teams that are better than Iran but FAR WORSE than the USA would be pretty competitive.

What is your point?

[Texas_Ranger]

It's true that Eurobasket is better than World Championship, cause there really are no African, South American (Arentina is great, but other ones are not), Asian and Oceania teams... But still USA would probably win if they would compete in the Euro campionship.

It is inside joke. One of his nicknames in Europe. Stands for something.

What is your point?

Since Greece has done much better at the Eurobasket than at the World Stage (no USA, no Argentina to take them out), obviously it´s the more meaningful tournament. That´s his point.

Since Greece kicked USA's ass at World Championship you obviously failed to think before you made such a stupid post with such a stupid ass error in it.

[ChumpDumper]

No Olympic medals?

Man, Greece is worse than I thought.

[Ariel]

Since Greece kicked USA's ass at World Championship you obviously failed to think before you made such a stupid post with such a stupid ass error in it.
Since Argentina eliminated you both in the 2004 and 2008 Olympics and we don´t participate in the Eurobasket, it seems you are the one with the stupid mistake. That´s a shocker. But that´s OK, the Eurobasket is better just because it´s the one championship you can win. Whatever helps you sleep at night, I wouldn´t want to be the one bursting your bubble. After all, that´s probably all you´ve got going for yourself in your sorry attempt at life.

Hey Kill Bill Pana, my friend Penn wants to tell you something:

What is the point of this thread?

[TDMVPDPOY]

gasol watta douche...yes winning a championship makes you overrated overnight...

[ploto]

Why do people get their panties all in a wad?

Eurobasket is more COMPETITIVE than the world championships because overall the quality of teams is higher. Of course, there is no US or Argentina, but arguably 8 of the 10 best teams in the world are there.
