8/27 So the NBA can't win the Gold Medal anymore. I guess we can't consider
the winners of the NBA Championship "World Champions" anymore.
\_ still wrong
\_ Our hoops team was beaten by Argentina, a dominant country of ......
soccer??? Why do we suck so much? Oh, our baseball team didn't
even make its way to Athens. I hate being American.
\_ This reminds me of that Gilligan's Island movie where the Harlem
Globetrotters had to beat a bunch of evil robots in a basketball
game. I think Team USA got caught up trying to play International
style. They should have just played street style and dominate the
competition with their athleticism. It should have been like
those And1 mixtape videos with bounce-pass alley-oop, no-look,
360 degree between the legs dunks. And lots of trash-talk.
\_ And blasting rap music at the same time? :-)
\_ You seem to be confused. How many of the NBA champs went to the
olympics?
\_ Our Olympic team would not have beaten any of the better NBA teams.
It's not a "Dream Team" in any sense. -tom |
