And if we played by NBA rules internationally, we would destroy absolutely every team out there by 30.
Someone explain to me why FIBA has a different set of rules anyway.

besides actually calling travelling and 3 seconds (rule enforcement) and the larger key what rules are you talking about? the larger key doesn't explain why we get burned at the 3 line. the larger key does negate much or our inside play, true, but it would seem like it should also open the key more for driving.
Watching the last Olympics i just kept thinking if Prince or Bowen, or hell Artest, was on the court there would not be so many open 3s. I know Prince turned down an offer, don't know about the other two (well I assume they didn't ask Ron).
