Maybe those NBA players can affect the "importance to organizers"Originally Posted by rtk04
you are right but "number of nba players in the team" is not clearly reflected in the criteria...so i guess main criteria "history-importance to organizers-popularity of basketball"...DR have an advantage over lebanon in nba players but is it part of the criteria....this is my question...
lebanon have 2 XNBA players:
matt freije / jackson vroman ...
2 NCAA div1 players
+ the best asian player of all time fady el khatib
so lebanon have also important players
they deserve w WC
and lebanon have been in the world cup in 2002 and 2006 the only team that is able to defeat the 2 billion chineese IN FULL POWER..while DR HAVE NEVER BEEN IN THE WORLD CUP SINCE 1978(NOT SURE ABOUT THE DATE)
SO LEBANON CHANCES ARE HIGHER
anyone have a link?

says Argentina vs Uruguay but it shows Canada vs Dominican
The Rules learned in the Prediction game.
1: Brazil is always disappointing
2: Never dismiss Argentina solely because of age.
3: Never bet against Spain in a knockout game, unless it is against the US.
Dominican Republic 16
Canada 13
After one. Neither team shooting well.

35-30 half to DR
Stuart
i.e.
Lebanon and turkey are neighbors...fans from here attending turkey 2010 much more that dominican fans....since DR very far from turkey...+ politics
History will write --> "In 2009, China stole the asian cup from Lebanon"
Secretary of FIBA Americas is being interviewed and he said that in theory, Canada has a better chance to get a wildcard than DR, because of history, economics and others
Is anyone watching the FIBA broadcast, seem a little biased to DR. Talking about what they should do next year before Turkey. Though I'll give them credit saying DR needs to work on their egos.
