Weird thread title for the question you asked, especially since the more entertaining of the 2014 World Cups starts this week. Can't wait to watch the US roll up some people!

I couldn't find anything online about him since 2012.

FIBA needs to adopt all NBA rules and use NBA referees. These traveling calls are ridic.

USA up 42 at half. Finland didn't make a field goal in the 2nd quarter.

Remember when Davis owned TRob's face? I do too. Such a great day for me.

The looks on our players faces were great, but I especially loved the way our guys clapped for them as if that was some form pregame entertainment

It's a bit more intense when their rugby team does it. And in hindsight our guys were a bunch of cowards...good thing we won

Omg. Yes. I wish meeting toe to toe at half court or midfield happened more often pregame in sports. Adds such drama.

michigancat · « **Reply #17 on:** September 03, 2014, 07:04:40 PM »

damn, that's pretty cool. Props to the kiwis for actually honoring/embracing their native culture.

Similar embrace of native culture:

That's really cool as well. MichCat.

So Badass!! It seems that the Kiwi's are some kind of warrior super race. They fought the British army to a standstill, spears against rifles.

Also love the nickname for the basketball team, Tall Blacks (the rugby team is called the All Blacks btw).
