Remember when the US beat Argentina by 33 points in 2003 with possibly the best team ever assembled in the history of basketball that was given little to no publicity?

If they wanted to lose yes. And I'm assuming Splinter is Tiago Splitter? Is he really a center? Varejao is more of a center.

I couldn't really think off the top about south american centers. My roster is open to change by those more in the know.

If you can find a way to toss Arroyo and Najera, we can make it a South American Team.

Splinter, Scola

All Latin America team?
How would they do?

What about Peter John Ramos? Isn't he Puerto Rican?

Fabricio Oberto would have to be on that kind of team, possibly even starting. He's in his 30s now but he's the best true South American C ATM.

AH HA! Yeah I forgot about Oberto. Who is the other guy on argentina, with the pony tail? Plays like a bigger Iverson?

WTF do you consider latin?

As an adjective, Latin can be used to describe things relating to the Romance-speaking peoples of the Mediterranean and the Americas, such as in terms like Latin America, Latin lover, and Latin music. In contexts of ethnicity, "Latin" generally refers to people descended from speakers of a Romance language; in the United States, the term frequently refers to those of Spanish or Portuguese ancestry.


anyway, latin= italian, french, spanish, portuguese. that's what it is
