Barak ha citato gli italiani "who give to the NBA more importance" ...non ha parlato degli stati uniti ma di NBA. Comunque stiamo a parlar di nulla...

Non ti seguo : e invece Obama è presidente del Canada?? La NBA è una lega a cui partecipano squadre nordamericane, come all'eurolega partecipano le europee. Canada e USA sportivamente non sono propriamente amiconi, se Obama avesse elogiato un giocatore di Toronto sarebbe successo un putiferio.

come dice l'articolo è possibile che non sia stato ringraziato perche gioca in una squadra canadese e non americana... non per il campionato!

Ma cosa centra quello che dici tu, napolitano mica è presidente dell'europa...bargnani gioca in una franchigia canadese che però partecipa al campionato americano, se non gli va bene che eliminino toronto dall'NBA

Bargnani gioca in Canada non negli Stati Uniti e come dire se Napolitano ringraziasse McCalebb e non ringraziasse Spanoulis o Vujacic che non giocano in Italia!

scusate ma che c'entra Bargnani? E' Il presidente degli STATI UNITI, Bargnani gioca per una squadra del CANADA. Come se Monti elogiasse un americano che gioca in Francia......

parlar di sport in US è un po' come parlar del meteo in UK... questo fa chiaramente capire quale taglio abbia avuto l'incontro con Monti e quale credito abbiamo in US... gioiamo!
