But it's different. For one most of them won't sign contracts. And two it's no different than Bobby Knight's epic 1984 team with MJ where he somehow cut Barkley and Stockton. Some good points though. In a way NBC killed the Olympics for me. They focused too much on just the events with Americans and were really heavy on the medal total for each event. Meanwhile, athletes began to angle for endorsements more and more. That hurt too. Oh well. I still think Argentina, Spain, and the US will bring it.Weekshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02581504235600259215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218571751031529493.post-61773035002292331972008-06-24T15:52:00.000-04:002008-06-24T15:52:00.000-04:002008-06-24T15:52:00.000-04:00Also, I would just like to point out that some of those amateurs I named will not be amateurs after Thursday. But, you get what I mean, there are plenty of great college players that would love to be part of the Olympics. Furthermore, some of those guys may have decided to stay in school for another year if they had made the Olympic team. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Also, I think AJ Price would be a nice fit for international play.LaRocquehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17307575773648213508noreply@blogger.com
