Puerto Rico Embarrasses U.S

In an upset that was as historic as it was inevitable, the U.S. men's basketball team loses for only the third time ever in the Olympics on Sunday, 92-73 to Puerto Rico.

That's because there is no "I" in "Team", but there is an "I" in "Iverson".

Embarrassing is right.

What an embarassment to our country

Ummm... Isn't P.R. part of the US? Anyway - I get the drift. Maybe this will be a reality check for some people to leave their egos at the door.

Seems to me that the U.S. men's basketball team (not Puerto Rico) embarrassed themselves.

Exactly...but not just Iverson. They are all young, overpaid premaddona crybabies

. This team was doomed to fail. Even Brown said he didn't have much confidence in this team. Pretty bad when the coach says that.....

Just shows how bad the NBA really is. They call the Detroit Pistons the World Champions, let them play as a team.

Maybe the "hoodrats" should be playing Streetball instead.
Congrats to Puerto Rico!!!!
