That article dated 5/16/11, which suggests it is an original article by someone named Kristian Santiago, instead is a word-for-word copy of the Bradley press release by Bobby Parker from BradleyBraves.com website on 5/12/11. It is just re-dated, copied, and a new authors name applied. Nice work!

The only difference is that they refer mistakenly to the Bradley Braves as the Bradley Bears.

Hopefully Shayok schooled his younger brother and taught him all of his moves!

They play at the 2011 FIBA Americas U16 Championship for Men from June 21–25 in Cancun, Mexico.

The 2011 FIBA Americas U16 Championship is now down to just two teams and the US is in the finals playing against Argentina..later this evening..

The US has blown out every opponent so far - 102-81 earlier over Argentina, 113-70 over Canada, 118-46 over Costa Rica, 105-70 over Brazil...

This is a pattern we have seen for 20-25 years -- that at the younger levels we blow everyone away -- all the way up to college level -- we dominate the rest of the world...

BUT once we get to the top level -- when we send out pros, even when our pros are way better "individual" talent -- we still struggle to win as a team and often since the late 1980's we don't beat the teams from the other nations...

So why do the other nations catch up to us and in many cases beat us at our own game when we get to the top level of international competition.

Is it because our guys can't play as a team or won't??

BTW - thru 4 games Marial Shayok is averaging 12 pts/8 rebs

[AZ BU Fan]

I don't know if any of these thoughts apply, but......

Could it be that our US international teams don't play together enough as a team? Coming together shortly before the competitions they play in?

Could it be that our top US professional basketball players don't have the same chip on their shoulders/passion foreign teams have in beating the US?

Could it be that our top US professional basketball players don't play the international game as much as the players they compete with internationally?

Could it be that our top US professional basketball players hit a wall with the physical style of NBA play that additional international tourney games are just too much basketball?
