apparently not.

Yes they are, but once I looked at all the ones who are now playing for their home counrty, I knew why we kept losing lol

apparrently many pro basketballers refused to play for the olympic team

Nor do many of the pro tennis players play either. The US did not have a baseball team in at all.

It's crazy that they lost to Lithuania!

HEY! I resemble that remark!!!! LOL What's wrong with Lithuania?????

Dream team??? Just cos the US has the best paid pro league (at least I think it is) then the players concerned think they are the best. Individually they may be highly skilled but they sure don't seem to want to be a team. Plus the biggest players of all won't play if theres no appearance money etc, IMO. Greedy and stupid. Money cannot buy olympic medals, and I know which I would rather have...

Don't get me wrong, I love Lithuania (major part of my history degree was spent studying Eastern Europe) but when I first heard about the loss it was from a co-worker who said, "I can't remember the name of the country but it's one I've never heard mentioned in basketball before."

I totally agree with everything except the stupid comment.....afterall they're the ones walking away with scandalous amounts of money just because they are talented at a particular sport..... stupid are the ones that pay it!!! As for me, I'd much rather watch the Olympics and see not only the talent but the love of the sport, the patriotism, the team spirit.....just seems less jaded.

(You really like the panthers, pashkin?)

A group of egos thrown together and they refuse to play as a team. Sad that they couldn't put that shit aside for a couple weeks and get into the spirit of the games.

The NBA doesn't play basketball anymore, its just a run and shoot game no offence or defence.
