FIBA 2006 Update

Now, what is FIBA? It’s a basketball tournament where you can’t tell the truth. Seriously, it’s like Olympic basketball, but not during the Olympics. I’m following Germany due to them having a DIRKY guy. Unfortunately for them, one guy doesn’t make a team, but he’s doing the best he can. And he’s not doing a bad job, either.
