It's not only the 3 pointers, our players are on an international court.

We need to change our courts in the US if we want to seriously compete in international basketball.

You would think that with the NBA 3-point line farther out...team USA would be very strong on the shorter international court, but it's the opposite...???

Not true. They just need to pick a better team, one that can hit the 20 footers, this team can't. I want to know why Micheal Redd is not on this team. David Stern should be embarrassed because this is his brain child. He picked a team that would sell jerseys instead of being a great team.

come on -- the NBA should now become the IBA -- we have so many International players --> and the eastern Europeans and the Italians and the central Americans are getting really very good -- the Chinese too.
