Dream Loser Team AWOL at closing ceremonies
 

haven't seen a single one of them in the closing ceremony yet.

I'd be ashamed too

Argentina :thumbsup

okay. i'm a sports goober. but i have never understood how the us could get away with sending professional basketball players to an even that was suppossed to be for amateurs. how did that happen?

:eek7

yup. They kicked ass. I loved an interview I saw on TV with an Argentinian concerning the Dream Team. He gave them credit for having the best players in the world but then he says "This a team sport you know, this no Tennis" I laughed my ass off. It was awesome hearing that in his accent.

no fucking shit. They are all flying home on theor provate jets.

Why would they want to hang out with all the other lowlifes? Would you?

the olympics is now a competition for the best in the world to compete.. professionals and amateurs... hockey players, soccer players, tennis players, basketball players... Judokas.. etc... but some sports for different reasons wont sed pros... like boxing.,,

but didn't it used to be amateurs only?

Exactly.


I give the Dream Team some credit for going out there and trying.

On the other hand, the NBA is pathetic. They did a horrible job with the recruiting and couldn't get better players out there.

Everybody need to stop blaming the players and put some blame on the NBA.:2 cents:

:1orglaugh

I give them credit for trying but the point is that not a one of them could hang around for the closing ceremonies. It would've been nice to see at least one of our super star basketball players participating in the closing. I won't be looking forward to the US in international basketball next time unless some serious changes are imposed.

I'd be ashamed too

I definitely agree that some changes need to be imposed by the people that are in charge.

they were busy raping some local girls and thugging it up in Greece
