And Bavetta is milionar too, right?
I've been against NBA players in the Olympics before the US ever lost a game with the pros. The dream team should have been a one-time thing. Now it's lost it's luster.
Oh and if you don't think corrupt Olympic officials skim hundreds of millions of dollars from the games, you're fooling yourselves.

Yeah. Olympic committee officials. Not basketball referees.
Dang TiMVP did you donate all of your vBookie money to Kori.... ^^^Those two posts "side by side" show a huge margin.
She's the brain of the operation. I'm just the hanger on.

Something like the John Leguizamo clip from his new movie with Bernie Mac...???
The Dream Team WAS a one-time thing... the rest were a bunch of mediocres compared to them, as it has been proven. What that has to do with anything?... "STOP Basketball!! After watching the Dream Team 1 play, no one should do it anymore, you're not worthy!".
Again, what that has to do with anything?. The whole world is corrupt, thats the way it is. Face it, kid. Bush is no saint, either.
Congrats on the gold. But if the best players would have all shown up, the US would have destroyed rest of the world. Sorry, kid.

And THAT is what I'm willing to see!! You still don't get it, do you?
Look, I see what your point is... the NBA is far more important to you than any other international compe ion since you work for them (as a sports writer, but still).
And of course is much more easy to say "We would destroy you IF this and this and this...." than risking to lose again.
And I also think USA will destroy the rest of the world as you put it.
I believe that most American fans of the NBA don't have much attachment to the US Olympic basketball team. I understand the passion that international fans have for their national teams -- but that feeling is just not prevalent here. I don't care much at all if the USA basketball team loses.

Yeah... sorry. I meant he writes about NBA.
This topic has been discussed ad nauseaum last summer.
Personally, it's hard to comprehend why fans of any sport would prefer their regional teams over their national team. Moreso, it's unfathomable that people would cheer against their own National team (this happened in the last Olympic Games).
You'd have to get a team that could play together.
Duncan
Garnett
Kidd
Marion
James
I would like to see that.
Most people still try to pick all stars with no role players and specialists. How many times the US has to lose in order to compete in the international arena with a TEAM?
Amazing!
Guys, next olympics take place in 2008.
Shaq will be 50 by then.
Nice logic.
If the Sonics didn't have the injury of their best 2nd and 3rd players, they would have destroyed the Spurs. Sorry, kid.
There are on ifs in sports, only facts.
It's ok, we still own the most popular sport in the world.
1992 was a long time ago. Every 4 years, we kept on sending our all stars and every year, the margin of victory kept shrinking and shrinking until it finally bit us in the ass. We used to beat teams because all our top players wanted to go. That's all changed in recent years. Since I highly doubt we can still get all our top guys to go, we need to construct a team with players that have defined roles: scorers, defensive guys, shooters, rebounders.
hehemm are you brazilian?
Completely wrong, the Spurs would've KILLED the Sonics if Rodmonavic and Lewis were playing.
