    Well? Was it



    Did they show it on tv, because i never saw it on tv. I was either away or at work or something. If so, what channel?



    They already qualified for the Olympics, so its moot right now.

    Well, sort of. It was on PPV. I can't remember how much it cost, though. IIRC, it was only the last 4 games, 2 of which were the 2 US games.

    edit: I think it was only $10, but then again I don't think they really should have charged for this anyways.

    Oh well, better than those $50 boxing PPV that end in a draw. ;)

    I watched the game, it was a blowout to say the least USA is back on top where we belong.

    The medal ceremony was nothing but awful AI did not have his shooting shirt on so it looked out of place.
    Rico celebrated with their victory over canada like they won the championship but it was for the bronze medal.

    T-mac said it best "NOBODY can beat us now" J O'neil gave a shout out to Thomas praising him as a good man.


    I think malone should be a man and give his spot to K-mart

    I agree, so that K-mart can be a man and give his spot to Webber.

    In many ways, this was the more important game. It determined who which team qualified for the olympics.

    Who's the best European team? Argentina seemed to give us the most trouble, but that fire has been squelched. Is Yugoslavia still good?

    I think they talked about this during the US game on PPV. I believe they said Yugoslavia is still as strong as ever. I'm assuming Peja and Vlade are playing, and I think maybe another couple of NBAer's that I'm missing. I don't know much about their team, but I think they say that there is a guy on the team that is the best player on the team but isn't in the NBA. Forgot his name though.

    They are probably still the best team in Europe still, from what I know. Argentina just couldn't seem to keep up with the US in the last game. I couldn't even understand how they beat them last year and kept it close about a week ago.
