| Burek said: That's OK, and you probably don't follow basketball at all, so you might not have known that New Zealand had a great basketball generation last decade. They were even 4th in the world in 2002. They lost in the semis to Yugoslavia which became the champion. Them being 4th meant they placed higher than the US Dream Team that year (they came in 6th) This was US roster: Reggie Miller, Paul Pierce, Ben Wallace, Jermaine O'Neal, Shawn Marion, Baron Davis, Antonio Davis, Michael Finley, Andre Miller, Jay Williams, Elton Brand, Raef LaFrentz (Coach: George Karl) This was new Zealand roster: Sean Marks, Pero Cameron, Mark Dickel, Phill Jones, Kirk Penney, Robert Hickey, Dillon Boucher, Damon Rampton, Ed Book, Paul Henare, Paora Winitana, Judd Flavell (Coach: Tab Baldwin)
Sorry for the off-topic :) |
I know a little bit, we have a team called the breakers and I believe the national team is called the Tall Blacks? everything is something "Black" in NZ. All Blacks, Black Caps, Black Sticks except for some reason the soccor team is All whites....Probably why they suck xD
