Summer 2015: FIBA games of Utah Jazz players

Serbia beats Spain.
Germany almost upsets Serbia
Spain spanks Turkey
Turkey blitzkriegs Germany in the first quarter
Serbia choo choos Turkey

This doesn't make any sense.
 
Serious question: do any of you who follow Euro (or any non-US) basketball believe something should be done to stop national teams from naturalizing US players to play for them?

I guess I understand if a player has a mother or father from a certain country. For a long time, I could have applied for dual citizenship because my mother was from Canada (despite me having only visited once for 2 weeks).

But what ties does a player like AJ Slaughter have to Poland? And I see a lot of American names popping up on other countries' rosters.
 
Bobby Dixon---Turkey
Dor Fischer----Israel
Something Randle----Ukraine

Federations offer them money and they accept...
I don't like it as well. Bobby is a great guy but i'd rather see a Turkish prospect at PG position for us.

Dirk arguing with Alex Jensen during the timeouts. He looks frustrated since yesterdays game vs Turkey which he played about 20 min.

By the way, Ersan is also not Turkish. His real name is Arsen Ilyasov.
He's not 28. Probably 31 or maybe older!
He became a Turkish citizen overnight. He didn't know a word in Turkish. His original documents show that he was born in '84 not '87.

The Ersan Ilyasova case is a really dark one.

Is it possible that he is the Anti-Christ?
 
What a horrific perimeter defense by Germany. Italy is getting open shot after open shot from 3.
