US players need to start working on fundamentals.  This is the reason the 
foreign players are so attractive to teams.  The US game has become 3 point 
shots and athleticsm.  Skills are way down.  Players can't shoot anymore.  
50% used to be good shooting, now 40-45% is considered good.

Doesn't this border on racist crap.  Aren't white players considered more 
fundamental because they lack the athleticsm of the black players. These are 
old and tired stereotypes. So by that crap though, the white players would 
have a pretty good chance.  Afterall Argentinians fall under the Caucasian 
race.  Yugos also.  Kestas I think you make a lot of good points but not 
this one.
