FIBA World Championship, NBA 2K11, and NBA Elite 11

           As some of you may know, Spain lost to Serbia in the FIBA world championship (basketball). They were the reigning world champions, but they won't medal this time. The final score was 92-89. Serbia shot a long three in the final seconds of the game to take the lead. However, Spain is without their star player Pau Gasol and couldn't come back to win the game. Ok, Enough about Spain and Serbia.

          Now, on to team USA. They will face Russia next on their quest to a gold medal. For those of you who don't know, USA has not won the FIBA World Championship since 1994. Already, most of the very good teams have been elliminated, most recently Spain and Brazil. Team USA's next very difficult challenges (assuming the beat their next opponents), would be Argentina. Other then them, USA is easily the best team and would win the gold medal without much effort.

       Ok. Video Games time!!!! Coming out in the next month are the two best basketball video games: NBA 2k11 and NBA Elite 11. In the past, the NBA 2k series has been a lot better. However, this year, NBA elite 11 has new controls which allows you to control the hands and feet of the player you are controlling. Last year, the name was NBA live 10. But, due to their newer controls, they changed the name to ELITE. NBA 2k11 is also very good. They had much better graphics in the past. Plus, they have a way to update each player's stats, so you don't have to go out and buy the game each year. In 10 years, Kobe Bryant won't be in NBA 2k11, but he will still be a great player in NBA Elite 11. Each player in NBA 2k11 is almost the same as in real life: dribbling style, speed, even their tattoos! The animation in the past has also been much better. However, both games come out around the same time, and then critics will be the ones to judge which one is better. Below are pictures from either game. NBA 2k11 is on the bottom and NBA Elite 11 is on the top. Judge which one is better!
