Default I have a great Idea.

this is a question for all the Mavs fans around the world:
would you like to see the name of home country on the mavs players jerseys, for example:
E. Najera: Mexico
Dirk: Germany
Nash: Canada
Finley: USA
and so on.....
by the way, Hello to everyone.......

Thank you........its a long story.......
by the way, why not.......I mean, Dallas is the team with more foreing players, I'm sure Dallas has a lot of fans on those countries, and doing that, there can be a lot more......is like a tribute from them to their home contry

I would love to, for obvious reasons.

But I see it not very probable to happen.

(Interesting name and interesting related face)

No. Bcos they are not representing their country when playing for the Mavs.

Hey \ _ / (for short), sign the book in the Lounge section. We will show you the facilities.

I like your idea. But maybe it is not time yet. For me it's the right time, but maybe not for the NBA (Stern).

But you will have a lot of support for your idea; 54% of the members are Dirk's fans. And 13% of Nash. (Who have voted)



Edit: mff is right. But it could be just as "friendship" and to prepare the NBA to expand overseas.

well that was only an idea, I mean, you can hear the sports announcers said that the NBA become an International League, and maybe this could send basketbol to a highier levels, like the way it is for soccer..
Chiwas, how I go to sign the book

Default RE: I have a great Idea.

On the contrary it could also lead to unnecessary fights and sentiments from people. If someone fouls steve nash hard, canadiens might think it is a result of the player hating Canada. Why even take a risk.

Default RE: I have a great Idea.

i'm sure any german hat follows the nba knows who dirk is, likewise with mexico and najera, canda and nash, etc.

they don't need a little flag on their jersey to let people know they know what country their from. and like others have said, they are playing for the mavs. this isn't the omlympics or international play.

besides, black, red, and yellow don't go with our color scheme. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Default I have a great Idea.

Well, looking at all the comments already made about this, here is my conclusion:

Yes, it will be very difficult to see a flag on the players jerseys, even tou I was talking only about the mavs players.
Yes, this is the NBA not the Olimpics
Yes, they are playing for the Mavs, but you can always hear the announcers say something about theyre home country.
No, I don't think we have an international war if someone hit a flagrant on Najera, Dirk, Nash, etc.
But one thing is for sure, and maybe you all agree with me on this:
If any of you could have the opportunitie to be in the greatest league of the world, and you were from a dif. country, and someone tells you this idea, and ask for your opinion, what your answer will be?

At least a poster who makes conclussions from his own thread.

The new ones giving lessons to the "good posters", "the Weeds", "the pair".

Thanks, \ _ /. Hope you can stand against them. They don't like (or "need") even the Mavs.
