Btw what ever happen to DANNY Granger? Dude fell of the face of the earth
Didn't he get injured a few times right after that summer?

Yeah man the FIBA game is too easy for him. Saw some practice clips of him cooking Monty Williams on some drills and I still can't believe he left OKCI feel you unfortunately g, still hurts to see him gone.
FIBA game just too perfect for him.

08 squad was jokes, looked like a simulated game of 2K.
Everybody was at the height of their athletic powers.

Starting 5 should be a illegal, like why did other teams even bother?
Not to mention, it was even worse because they were only out to embarrass teams, just smashing them.
Crazy passes, fast breaks where the ball doesn't touch the floor, all types of alley oops.
Lebron stopped blocking dudes regularly and just started trying to catch the ball and run immediately.
Woulda shot one of them in the knees, **** the BS.

Yikes 08 was def vicious. I'm just bias towards the young thunder kids plus 2012 peak Lebron is a beast

That '08 Spain team was really good too. They caught lightening in a bottle. They'd be the favorites if that same team was in this Olympics.
I watch that gold medal game every couple years just to marvel at that level of basketball being played.

That 08 gold medal game was amazing. Still made me mad how Bron and Kobe picked up several bogus calls early. Wade really stemmed the tide when those guys went out.

Two things that always stood out about that game was the Kobe 4 point play and then the silence gesture. And then Kobe gambling on defense and setting up Dwight Howard to get dunked on by Rudy Fernandez. The look Dwight gave Kobe was crazy after that play, he was heated.
Never mind the fact that thread was moving at a lightning pace at 3am to 5am in the morning was crazy, just like the finals thread.

Disagree with you on this one. Stanley is better and will continue to be.

Justice's jumper is broke. He's slow and can't handle the rock. Good young defender though.
Stanley is longer, more athletic, can shoot better and handle better. He projects to be the better player.

I see them both as borderline 3rd wheels but exceptional versatile defenders
I think both get over hyped at times

Look at the numbers man, Justise has a 1.5 defensive RPM, that's elite for a rookie. Stanley's wasn't even close and they are both bad on offense right now.
None of Stanley's numbers are elite, he still has to prove his jumper in the season, y'all act like Winslow was making em in SL a couple weeks ago.
I really like Stanley but y'all jumping the gun, Winslow ceiling is DPOY caliber level wing who can guard 2/3/4.

imho Stanley>Winslow
I see more upside on him. I think both will be solid defensively in the long run. Stanley has a better offensive game.

Led the team in scoring on like 60% shooting
he had a point to prove after getting swept by the Bulls. Dude blacked out that whole 12 months Salute to Spain for staying in the game the entire way.

08-09 Wade is the most effecient high volume shooting guard in history behind MJ.
It's astonishing because he had no jumper.
