First Tiger Woods lost to a Canadian.

Then Serena and Venus didn't play each other in a Final. Instead, we got two Belgians.

Next week, it is estimated that at least 12 Europeans will go in this year's NBA draft.

''There needs to be a message sent to our whole American program,'' Spurs general manager R.C. Buford said outside the champions locker room late Sunday as he savored a cold beer and the warm memory of once drafting France's Parker at No. 28 and Argentina's Manu Ginobili at No. 57.

''We've got to start developing basketball players and have a curriculum that breeds success. . . . Every one of these foreign countries has a developmental program that's preached throughout their club teams, and so the teaching they get isn't SportsCenter highlights but plays like you see Tony and Manu making.''

Get that? Ten years after the original Dream Team, our blacks have been wooed by the lure of Sportscenter highlights and multimillion dollar sneaker deals, and they've forgotten how to play basketball. And, apparently, golf and tennis. Do you really think you're going to see a European player with cornrows and tattoos being pulled over for running over a cop and dragging her 50 feet down the street? I doubt it. Say goodbye to Serena's gigantic ass stuffed into a one-piece. So long Tiger Woods Buick commercials. From here on in it's all Kraftwerk and warm soda.

:(
