it's too bad that Sacramento Kings didn't let Francisco Garcia play the last game of the last qualifying spot to the world Championship, because Gracia was the best player for the Dominicans, and maybe the best player of the whole tournament, he was the heart and soul of the team.
With Francisco Garcia playing The Dominican would've beaten Canada easily and qualify to the World Championship, Missing Garcia meant missing 20 points per game more. So that being said we all know that The Dominicans qualified to the World Championship Morally due to the fact that Sacramento Kings pulled out Garcia at the last minute and didn't let him play after he had played the rest of the tournament (and dominated it BTW).
Because of this The Dominican Republic, deserve a "WILD CARD" because they didn't qualify because of The Sa-CRAP-mento (I mean, Sacramento) Kings, not because Canada was better.
We all know The Dominican Republic would have won that game against Canada with Garcia with them.
and on top of that, the Refs stole the Dominicans the game against Brazil, when at the last 2 minutes, they sent out all our Big men (Al Horford, Atlanta Hawks, and Charlie Villanueva, Detroit Pistons) with some phantom calls, "A-LA-D.wade"
and the same happened against Argentina, Scola played for the last 2 quaters with 4 fouls (you only need 5 to be out under FIBA Rules) (Scola) pushing everyone, and pulling Al Horford's hand all over the place, and (Scola) was never call of those fouls, and at the end he (Scola) was trhe one who won the game (with the help of the Rfes, of course)
So with all this been said, The Dominican Republic, rightfully deserve a WILD CARD.
Just Imagine that Dominican Team with ow more NBA players like Trevor Ariza, and Sammy Mejia (Detroit Pistons, not in the NBA right now), and a young college prospect like Edgar Sosa (Louiville's Cards) and Other players (all with NCAA experience also) playing in the best European Leagues like: Jose Olivero (France), Jeff Greer(France), Ricky Soliver (France), Sean Ogrii(Spain), other NCAA players like 6'9' Foward Antonio Pena ,and playmakers Albin Abreu and Manny Quezada, and a 7 footer player with ACB (Spain) and D-League (NBA developmental League) experiences.
