Team Choke

Q = Why are these Greek people celebrating?

A = Because Greece just beat Team USA in basketball to eliminate the USA from winning the World Championship.

Q = Whose Fault Is It that the USA lost to Greece in basketball when Team USA is comprised of NBA players and not one single greek player is good enough to play in the NBA?

A = Duke

Specifically, Duke's Coach K, the coach of team USA, and Team USA starters Shane Battier and Elton Brand.

Thanks alot Duke, for embarrasing our entire country on the world wide stage.

(And yes, it does seem like a recruiting advantage for Duke Basketball's head coach to also coach Team USA)

Well if you have to loose anyway, why not rather against the Greeks, the founders of the entire Olympic idea....

You would think you could get 5 guys out of any inner city park and beat the crap out of Greece! Has there been any NBA player of Greek descent since the great and mighty Rony Seikly of Syracuse? I didn't watch any of the games, but I assume they are still playing with a hoop 10 feet high on a regulation 94 foot court.

After the game, Coach K said that Greece was a great team.

Greece played Spain in the championship a few days later. Spain was without their leading scorer, NBA star Pau Gasol.

Spain beat Greece by 20.
