aHole #2 and aHole #1.
How can an American, non-Thuggets nor Hornets fan, cheer for these 2 bas s?

Yeah Alamo, I'm not sure where you're going with this one...
I cheer for the team, not the individuals.
No matther how they act, they are still Americans...they are part of Team USA, you can't cheer for Team usa without cheering for them too.
Whats wrong with Chris Paul?
Anthony I can understand, but you could see he was giving it his all and was genuinely happy and really wanted to win the gold.
Your way way off on this alamo.
Huh?
:jawdrop
This comment I can agree with. As far those two.....
Whatever antics they display here in the USA are probably what a lot of non-Americans consider "typical American arrogance" anyway.But as far as these Olympics go, they were model citizens and represented well. I'm proud of them!

What the did Paul do? Except help bring life and pride back to a city that was hit with devastation when a hurricane destroyed it. If that is not an american I should cheer for, then I do not know who is.
Chris Paul is my favorite player in the NBA bar none
how in the world did chris paul become a disgrace?
I actually think this US team represented the US as best as anybody could have hoped for. They were ridiculously dominant and any sign of arrogance about it... well, can you blame them? I mean, they just decimated everyone they played. I don't even think they were arrogant about it, to tell you the truth.
There's nothing to take away from what this US team has done. Great, great job in my book. Any mishaps in the past, shouldn't detract from the fact that they represented their country with flying colors.
I have no problem with Paul. Melo yes. He did sucker punch someone and talked .
Couldn't agree more. And from a conduct and comportment perspective, this team exceeded that of the Dream Team in that they actively took part in the full Olympic experience. They attended the other events, pubically and privately rooted for their countrymen, and were accessible to fans, media and the other athletes. They also took time to "soak up" the local flavor and culture of the country. They were very aware of the stage they were on and did nothing to embarrass themselves or the fans back home. A good job both on and off the court.
CP3 is an arrogant .. not Melo level but an idiot still
+1

I understand people being upset with Anthony, I think he did kinda go overboard in his actions, but I didn't see anything by anyone else that displayed arrogance. I saw geniune enthusiasm and there should have been. They just won the Gold medal, they should be happy. I think there is, on the part of some, a willingness to throw the "arrogant" tag on the US team and US athletes for just about anything. Have some deserved it? Absolutely but some people will apply that just because someone wears the Stars and Stripes. If they do, let them, it doesn't mean its true.
What a joke of a thread. CP3 is the .
yeah melo is a but paul fine...
What did they do?
I hate them both
But still, if not for Melos treys and Cps and-ones the outcome of the finals could be different.
And Melo was a strong piece of this team. (unfortunately)
I hate Paul and Melo but I don't think they they are a "disgrace"
I have nothing against Paul (except that he gets a media pass on his flopping when Manu gets attacked relentlessly), but that's a bit of an overstatement.
Regardless of what the media would have you believe, New Orleans without the Hornets would be pretty darn similar to New Orleans currently with the Hornets.
I have yet to encounter the New Orleans resident who lost their house and job, but still maintains their life and pride thanks to Chris Paul.
Melo is, he has a behavior of a gangster, it's a shame that he was chosen to represent the United States
