July 31, 201214 yr I'm not necessarily against it as long as there's strong promotion of the World Championships as an exhibition of the best international basketball. I actually like the idea of promoting the World Championships as a showcase for basketball rather than an event that's secondary to the Olympics.
July 31, 201214 yr ^ Cuban pretty much said that the other day. He's not a fan of it at all. He feels like the NBA owners are providing the financing for the IOC to make money. And while he is right, the ironic thing is that Cuban has benefited more than anyone from the influence of NBA stars promoting the game world wide. They were saying on Mike and Mike this morning that Dirk did not fully focus on basketball until the '92 Dream Team played in Barcelona and it made him want to become an NBA player.
July 31, 201214 yr I like the question posed on PTI yesterday. The owners are in a roundabout way asking for money, financing, compensation....what ofthe players were saying this? What would the fallout be then?
