International Hoops Thread

Manneken Pis in every city square!

In a lot of countries, you have to throw your used toilet paper in the trash instead of flushing it. It's surprising how little it smells.

Not international, but I went on Project Wild before freshman year at Duke. We had to be environmentally conscious on our 9 day hike through Pisgah, so we had to swallow our toothpaste and use ferns to wipe our asses.

As an aside, I continued to swallow the toothpaste once we got back to Duke and one day when I was waiting for the bus on North campus, I vomited it up in front of 20 people, played it off like it was nothing and got on the bus.

Have we already discussed Project Wild? I forget if it has come up. Maybe a while back. I, too, shit in the woods a number of times back in my college days.

I think we did. Mentioned walking naked along 40

I'm not sure his wording quite counts as a commitment. We'll see how he feels after a season with no Durant and with only a few months of Klay. He's usually breaking down by the playoffs to begin with.

Big game for Canada tonight - Argentina.

 

[torontoduke]

For the 1st time since our Steve Nash-led team in 2000, Canada will be going back to Olympics.

Fuck yes!

 

[torontoduke]

SGA so fucking clutch

 

[DrKlahn]

I didn't even know this existed. I'll gladly use this from now on. Canada really dug deep for that one, something this generation hadn't done yet. The USA also qualified for the Olympics today, despite that whatevs loss.

Edit: and I see that I've posted to it before. Welcome back, thread.

Bad shot.

 

[torontoduke]

I was screaming at the telly. Thank Thornton that one dropped.

 

[DrKlahn]

That’s a pretty smart tank by the USA. I wouldn’t have grabbed those rebounds either.

 

[physicsfactor]

Guess we gotta bring K back to rescue Team USA again.

 

[torontoduke]

Fuck this morning's hoops results

 

[DurhamSon]

If we lose to Canada in the bronze medal game, we know who must be banned from this board. Can't live with a reminder of the potential shame of losing to a fake country

 

[rome8180]

For TDuke's sake, I hope that if we lose to Canada it's on a game-winner by RJ Barrett after he drops 40.

Preview of Duke's season after failing to achieve the desired 7'0-7'0-6'9 frontcourt. Big ball is the only way.

Our boy ‘Ronto ain’t going anywhere, he’s got that dawg in him.
