Basketball 2021 Discussion Thread

The tournament is scheduled for September of next year and the competition's arrival in Brazil is a partnership between the Brazilian Basketball Confederation (CBB) and the sports marketing holding of the Brazilian and São Paulo soccer team player Daniel Alves, who has just won the gold medal with Brazil in Tokyo 2020.

 

 

Sport growth and Paris 2024

 

The arrival of AMERICUP to Brazil reinforces CBB's work for the Paris 2024 Olympic cycle, when basketball will seek qualification to return to the Games, and also for the sport's growth. The country has not hosted the Copa America since 1984, when it took the title over Puerto Rico, in São Paulo. The last achievement of the tournament came in 2009, just when Puerto Rico hosted the competition.

 

- Receiving AMERICUP in Brazil after so long, and with strong and traditional teams like Argentina, United States and Canada, is a unique opportunity. It's the chance to have high-level games, to move the sport and the fans in the country and also to reinforce our work in the Paris 2024 cycle, when we are going to look for the Olympic place again. Brazilian basketball has a winning history and we know our responsibility to rescue it - quoted the president of the CBB, Guy Peixoto Jr.
 

 

Partnership with Daniel Alves' company

 

Owner of the greatest number of titles in football history, player Daniel Alves has just won another trophy, now Olympic gold in Tokyo 2020 with the Brazilian team. But the right-back is also already working thinking about the post-career. Partner at the sports marketing company, Daniel is one of those responsible for bringing AMERICUP to Brazil alongside CBB and FIBA Americas.

 

Daniel will inaugurate in September, in Bahia, his social project, which will serve 2,000 children with football and basketball modalities. The basketball will even have a 3x3 court with capacity to receive events, with official floor and all FIBA technology.

Just saw a post on social media about the insane score line of the :USA v. :CRC match the U16 Americas Women’s Championship and thought it was worth posting the score. The final score of that quarterfinal match was 121-12 in favor of :USA, that’s a margin of victory by 109 points :yikes:

    • Though I did just see that today's race isn't valid for FIS points.
    • Let's not act as if these things never happen before. Serbia's cross-country skiing drama a week before the Olympic qualifying for Beijing ended: FIS | Cross-Country Results - Zlatibor (SRB) 2021/2022   Drndic with a DNF, despite being - on paper at least - the best athlete. She didn't just 'not finish', she stepped out barely 50 meters before the finish, because if finishing, the points for her competitor would have been better due to the way points are calculated. Ended up with lots and lots of yelling and screaming and fighting and cursing, DNS the next day and in the end Serbia sent none of them.   This is not a shit move by Canada, this is a fault of the system at most.
    • Yes agreed, resetting it would help make it more dramatic as no one would be running away with it. We could also set it that there is a small reward for ranking higher after each round… maybe they start the next round with a “head start” so they bring a few points into the next round? But starting from scratch each round might be cleaner  
    • I like the concept a lot. My only worry would be that the nations doing the best individually would also end up at the top here as teams are only made up of pairs. Whereas in a bigger team it gives the nations not doing so well individually to have another chance if they are lucky enough to be placed in a good team. Any way we can balance it?
    • I thought about accumulating, but for higher drama it may be reset like in cycling track elimination races 
    • Those are the national junior championships, national championships are in Steinkjer, starting tomorrow: FIS | Steinkjer (NOR) - Event Details - Cross-Country
    • Nice for them, but also kind of too bad they pick the exact same two as last time. Would have been nice to see Regina Martinez for example (although I'm not sure that would have been logistically possible, depending on how they're going to do the flag bearer thing in the first place).
