LAS VEGAS, July 25, 2008 -- With two men who symbolize what the American dream is all about – Bill Gates and Warren Buffett – sitting courtside, the latest incarnation of the U.S. Men’s Senior National “Dream Team” kicked off its quest for the gold with a dominant 120-65 rout of the Canadian Men’s Senior National Team at the Thomas & Mack Center on Friday.
U.S.A. only led by six points after the first quarter but used a 90-41 extended spurt the rest of the way to blow the game wide open.
A 55-point win against a team that featured only one NBA player, Joel Anthony (a D-League call-up by the Heat last season), wasn’t about to excite head coach Mike Krzyzewski too much, however.
In fact, Krzyzewski didn’t even refer to Friday night as a game.
“For our fifth day of practice, we showed a lot of energy,” Krzyzewski said to open up his postgame comments.
And to think, a Canadian invented this instrument of embarassment...

very Republican.
Can we put the demographics into their propper framework?
He, invented that game in the U.S.A. while teaching there.
1891:
(a)At the end of his studies he becomes a professor at Springfield where he stays until 1895.
(b)During his vacation he goes to Martha's Vineyard to learn about the Swedish principles of gymnastics to adopt at his training school. In the autumn he takes up a seminar in psychology created by Dr. Luther Halsey Gulick, the director of the PE department. There is a need to create an interesting indoor game becomes the resulting quest
1891:
(a)On December 21st the first game of Basket Ball is introduced to James Naismith's class of secretaries.
(b)Following brief scepticism, the game is a hit before the students depart for Christmas break.
This happened in the US.
Until hisd death in 1939, he spent little if any time in Canada.
He gifted basketball to the U.S..
Canadas sport is Icey Hockey and Lacrosse.

Was he born in Canada? Was he a Canadian citizen?
Naismith was a star gymnast, lacrosse player and Canadian football player at McGill University where he earned a BA in Physical Education (1888) and a Diploma at the Presbyterian College in Montreal (1890). In 1885-86 he won the Wicksteed Silver Medal as the gymnastics champion of the school's junior class. In his graduating year, he lost the Medal as the top athlete of the university's senior class.
Sounds like a Canadian to me.
The fact that he did it in the US is not the point, idiot. I said a Canadian invented it. I didn't say it was invented in Canada. The point of the post, scumbuckette, was that the Canadian basketball team sucks. Like you.
