Right on...I have grown to despise the NBA players over the years. They are just too full of themselves. I bet those guys thought gold was a sure thing. Maybe I should send the team a letter letting them know how happy I am that they lost. I think next summer olympics, college stars should play. They would better represtent the US.

I hear you both on that. I remember watching tapes of Larry Byrd's Celtics and really enjoying the game, but now I can't even watch half of one, and the college players are starting to get as bad as the pros. I wouldn't say that I wanted them to lose, though, I'd say that I just didn't give a flying......

This was unexpected how?

Ok most of the last Olympic team didn't want to play. PLus I always liked college athletes because they have more motivation.
