Predictable.

This bunch stinks. We'd be better served with a talented group of amateurs who learned to play as a team. (Of course that's almost unheard of in the U.S. any longer.)

Well, having NBA players in the Olympics isn't wrong for the simple reason that they are professionals. It is because NBA basketball has totally bastardized the sport -- they travel halfway down the court without getting called, their talent is measured by the spectacular nature of their dunks, etc etc.

It is like having Hulk Hogan enter the greco-roman wrestling competition. This is pretty much a foregone conclusion.

I'd must rather have college players. I can't stand the NBA... even to watch players from my school in the league. It's just terrible.

I couldn't agree more
