NBA players doesn't always equal FIBA success ... NBA superstar ( which Canada doesn't have ) ie Dirk . Gasol , Parker often means international success ..
Italy had more ( haven't qualified for any international success ) success when not having NBA players on their roster .. Heck I think they once obrained a bronze ..
Canada had international success not cause Nash was a NBA player it was cause Nash was a HOF NBA player ...
This Canadian team needs chemistry and a roster with players who know their roles ... The worse thing is having a roster of 14 players who all think they should be starting ...Last edited by guyroch; Thu Jun 4, 2015, 11:52 AM.

That Italian team was 11 years ago, and was the year the USA got bronze, which was a pretty big fluke if you looks at the Olympics before and after. In 2008 Olympics all the teams that got medals were loaded with NBA players. Same thing happened again at 2012 Olympics.
were even starters ...
Hopefully NBA Wiggins will be our Dirk one day

Talent is the first step towards a contending team. Chemistry and at least average coaching is the next.The name's Bond, James Bond.

These NBA Finals ( playoffs ) I have got a chance to watch a lot of Tristan Thompson .. Love his heart and energy but holly cow is offensive game ugly ..
When I hear the money he is turning down it makes me scratch my head but heck he might get it thanks to LebronLast edited by guyroch; Tue Jun 9, 2015, 10:41 PM.

The Americans are planning on sending a mixture of pro players, collegians, and even retired NBA players to the Pan Am Games.
Andy Katz talks about the American camp starting at 1:10 in this video:

Canada has had a couple of very impressive wins in the men's U16 competition in Argentina. Rowan Barrett Jr. led all scorers in a blowout of Mexico last night. He is just 14 years old playing against mostly 16 year olds. Oluwasimisola Shittu, trying saying that 3 times fast, is a 6'10" 15 year old that scored 13 and grabbed 17 boards in the same game.
The Canucks have a tough test tonight against the host nation.
