Članak Washington Posta o rukometu. Čude se kako u tom sportu Ameri nisu dobri kada imaju veliku bazu sportaša koji imaju kvalitete koje u rukometu trebaju - snaga, brzina, koordinacija i skočnost.
Pa se malo povukla usporedba koliko bi američki košarkaši bili dobri (bilo je oko toga dosta rasprave na forumu), ali
Valentin Porte je ovo rekao:
French player Valentin Porte was not as generous. He predicted the U.S. basketball team would lose, 42-10, to an Olympic handball squad.
“Physically, there would be no problem,” Porte said. “But because of finer points, they would be destroyed. Sorry.”
Drugi kažu da bi LBJ u roku šest mjeseci mogao biti vrlo dobar. Neki kažu da je za razliku od košarke dozvoljeno puno više fizičkog kontakta i da košarkašima ne bi bilo lako pucati itd. Uglavnom, jako dobar članak, moje preporuke:
