Anyone else think the commentators for team USA are arrogant?

Question

The other day the play by player dude said when Dwight (superman) Howard took the ball from a Canadian player claiming to know what Howard was thinking "I am an NBA player you're not give me that". So because he's an NBA player he's supposed to win the ball every time, that's the dumbest thing I've heard in a while. Having will has nothing to do with being an NBA player, he should just have said that because I'm Dwight Howard and so d**n diesel give me the ball. They have players in Europe bigger than Howard I know because I'm french although none are as talented.

PS: Don't they get it, it's that same arrogance that got team USA spanked the last two major tournaments. I am glad Coach K is coaching that team about being humble otherwise players like Wade and Bron couldn't make it out the door with their head so swolled up. The only reason I am rooting for team USA is because Kobe and Kidd are on it, also France sucks!

Answer 1

I agree at least one of those 2 commentators is being arrogant, but it may be just his habit of talking, maybe he was a wrestling commentator before. True, they are making some comments that would be offensive if the other team (and people in their country) was the audience, but people who support the team usa care more about their team winning than noticing something they heard from the commentator and we should not take it too seriously too.

btw, once spain's national team played with the chinese national team, and when pau gasol dunked on one of the player on chinese team, the spanish commentator got very excited and start yelling stuff in spanish, and then yelled out in english "in your face" for like 10 times or so. maybe people have different way to express their excitedness.

Answer 2

Yes guy from NBA TV very arrogant ...

P.S you can see Kobe is very humble ... other NBA players steps over their opponents whose on the floor/fell down .. but Kobe helps them up ...

Am i talking about Olympics .. not NBA and even in NBA Kobe is humble  respecting your opponents is very important... Jesus kiddo grow up ... if you think they're trying to keep ball from him .. then how come he took 9 shots ?

It is WE not ME ... so it's not should be about Lebron James ... it should be about USA ... you saw what happened in 2004 and 2006 ... now it is time to play TEAM basketball ..

proudhispanic( guy below me ) ... WHAT ? that is stupidest thing i read in months .. and trusted me I've read many stupid things in yahoo

Holoengel - Supporting your country has nothing to do with ignorant

Answer 3

I think the USA players are purposly trying to keep the ball out of Lebron James hands, because they are jealous of him

ESREG, What I said is not stupid, its the truth, They seem tired of him getting all the attentions so when he is wide open they dont pass him the ball. If you watch the game closly, it is quite obvious.

Answer 4

1. the guy on TV was being sarcastic

2.The NBA is the most powerful league in the world. So yea they demand respect here...Anyone in the world with skill comes and plays where?? the NBA

3. How would u know Wade and Bron are big headed?? Do u know what backrounds they come from??

4. U are in from France and rooting for us...Ur a disgrace to ur country.

Answer 5

too much coffee for the commentators make them jumpy and excited.

like, hey- i'm lebron and i AM endorsing YOUR shoes. let me sign IT!

Answer 6

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO PICK UP ON THEIR BS, THE OLDER GUY IS OK BECAUSE HE GIVES AN UNBIASED OPINION ON THINGS AND HIS COMMENTARY IS FAIR, BUT THE YOUNGER GUY THAT'S ALWAYS TALKING IS A DOUCHE, MAINLY BECAUSE ON EVERY PLAY HE TAKES YOU  INTO THE MIND OF THE PLAYERS AND TELLS YOU WHAT THEY'RE THINKING, AND MY THING IS HOW THE h**l DO YOU KNOW THATS WHAT THEY'RE THINKING AND OR SAYING? FOR EXAMPLE A FOUL WAS CALLED AND THEY PUT THE CAMERA ON COACH K, THIS DOUCHE WENT AND SAID "MIKE IS LOOKING TO D'ANTONI, AND IS SAYING, FIFA NEEDS TO CHANGE THE SHAPE OF THE LANE" AND I'M LIKE GET THE F OUTTA HERE. LOL.

Answer 7

USA commentators supports USA.I bet when that Canada player stole the ball from Kidd.A Canadian commentator must be like "USA SUCKS!".It's their country,they support their country.

To the Esreg,"There is a difference between being ignorance and being supportive.".

To the proudhis,"Thanks for saying Chris Paul is humble,I'm a huge fan of him.If he gets traded or signed to another team,I'll jump on that team's bandwagon.".

Answer 8

Actually I think they're great announcers. And how is Lebron big headded? It's not his fault that one of the announcers claimed that he is the best in the NBA. He is one of the most humblest players on the team.

Plus do you not realize that the USA announcers are from USA? Sort of like when your own basketball team plays another team. Your announcers are going to be slightly biased.
