    That team would probably lose to the Scola-Manu Argentina teams.

    I meant in their younger days. The Olympic team this year is not looking good, but the rest of the world is not that good this year. You have a old Spain team, a old Argentina team, etc.

    Yeah. Zika is a terrible thing. Dwight Howard will have no choice but to pull out in both senses of the word.
