personally i think we would do a whole lot better if we actually got the team we wanted. if shaq, kobe, bibby, kidd, malone and everyone else we wanted to play played, we would be killing right now. does anyone know why the didn't want to compete?jxyama said:i personally couldn't care less that pros play in Olympics. i want the best athletes and teams competing at the Olympics.
U.S. certainly has the flashiest basketball team, but it's not the best, apparently.
Headline from ESPN.com:
you know the expectations of the so called "dream team" is quite low when a 6-point victory is written up in news as if it was a no surprise that is was actually competitive?
let's learn a lesson here, NBA... send a team next time to the olympics. do you realize how hollow duncan's dunks and iverson's cross overs look when the teams are losing or barely winning?
