What's new

Spain 2014 FIBA World Cup

And if I recall correctly, the tourney is on FIBA rules and the 3 point arc is closer and the rim is lower. So it will be basic long midrangers for the Kanter guy.

looked it up. An Nba rim is 10 ft(120 inches) fiba is 3.05m (120.0787 inches). More or less exactly the same.

Wtf? Are you serious

Not a surprise for me that Addie had that wrong info. It's a common myth in Europe that NBA's rim is higher. Because of that, I'm actually seeing 10'4"(315 cm) street rims around a lot. When I ask why they are higher than the standard, they mock me and they say I'm an idiot because I apparently don't know that the rims are 315cm in the NBA. Lol.

@addie, there is not much difference also with the three pointer line with the NBA anymore. If I remember correctly, FIBA increased the distance two seasons ago.



By the way, agreed with addictionary on 3 pt shooting for Enes. Some Galatasaray fans here say the new head coach of the Turkish NT loves shooting big men and stretch fours. We may see Enes trying them.
 
As for the US vs Turkey game, whichever roster that US comes to Spain I think it will be a blowout game. Turkey will be without a decent back court again. Especially the PG play will be pathetic.

Yeah dude I screwed that one up. I looked up that 3 pt thing recently it looks like they've changed the goddamn thing multiple times throughout the decades.

As for the rim length. Big *** disappointment for me bro :(

Haha.

Then also, I shouldn't tell you that FIBA balls are bigger too.
 
I used to have a Molten. When I was 7, my parents bought the perfect basketball for my elder sis so that she could play with her friends. She was 4 older than me. I sneaked and screwed around in those matches. My dad used to play bb. That's why he valued it so much. But she obviously had not played too much, caring only about being popular and ****, so I took the ball and dribbled its perfect skin for many years to come. Remind you it was an indoor ball. So I literally was on a blasphemy! I remember one night practicing out on the streetball court after dinner about 8 or 9 pm, I was yet to learn the game, the moves. An older dude was practicing on the other rim. No I didn't dunk over him unfortunately. lol. I asked him kindly if he could teach me how to lay it up. And he did. Then I started rocking the game. Quit when I beat MJ.




Last sentence might be a little off the reality. But a little.

~That ball is still in my house in a locker. It is pretty much ****ed up. But still not egg shaped! That shows the quality of it. Still like day one the inner layers. But the outer layer is so screwed up, it hurts me and fills my heart with nostalgic enthusiasm at the same time whenever I pick it up.
 
my indoor Spalding kicks your molten's ***!
Twas a real rarity back then and was a cool thing to own a la Mercedes Benz. (Yeah)

LoL

To be honest, Spalding's were a big deal back then more than now. NBA and Jordan thing. But that ball of mine was a fantastic one and not one person said a bad word about it. But after many years, "kurt kocayınca köpeklere maskara olur" hesabı it started being laughed at. I killed everyone that giggled at it. The ball did the 12 years for me when I was playing ball and bringing it underwear and cigarettes and smuggled something sharp if any **** hits the fan in prison.
 
You know what? I'll show it to you. Here is my babe. Here is my gorgeous. Here is my precious...
