As August and September roll around, the basketball world does NOT calm down.
There are FIBA Tournaments set to be held in Slovenia and Caracas, among other places, as teams try to earn berths to the World Cup in Spain next summer.
I have gone on rifts before, but sometimes rifts are worth repeating.
FIBA basketball is better than NBA basketball for the following reasons:
- The games take less than 2 hours to play. There is an actual flow. In the NBA there are too many TV timeouts. In FIBA, if a timeout is called, 60 seconds are put on the shot clock.

MacBook Pro, this will help to have an incredible overview of both.
What in a case where you have a presentation as a way to do or an emergency post you have to send outside and the battery of your amazing MacBook

This is a great basketball site. nice alternative to espn and yahoo sports.
but I see you don’t cover Asian Basketball.
the Asian Championships is underway as i write this. top 3 will have the right to competer for the world cup in spain.
as you said on the article FIBA basketball is better than NBA for several reasons.
So i guess you gotta write an article or two about it.
I know Asian basketball is not yet at par with let’s say European basketball and American level. only China, Iran and Jordan had been able to enter the olympics or the world cup but it’s still basketball and a lot of from this side of the globe are die hard basketball fans.
the eurobasket is nearing and im pretty sure yo’ll write about but why not asian basketball.
