Now that USA won't medal, will the NBAs best come to the rescue?

    I think that it's time for Shaq, KG, and company to lace em up and represent the US in World competition again. The "Dream Team" novelty had worn off since '92 but it would now be restored IMO.

    And also, I couldn't be happier that NO ROCKETS were representatives of this team.

    I guess it makes you wonder what may have been had the US selected Francis ahead of J.Williams - maybe given the team another scorer?

    As an international fan, I couldn't be happier that the US have lost, not just once, but twice!!! Wake up and smell the coffee US basketball, the rest of the world is getting there! Must be time for that arrogant "We can send any squad of NBA'ers and win the gold medal" attitude to end.

    Better luck next time US :p

    In most contexts I'd find this post an informative commentary about the rest of the world and how it views basketball. But right now, as a US citizen, it just makes me want get back out there and beat the sh*t out of somebody. F*ck the world. 2003 is OURS baby! :mad:

    I have little doubt that come the '04 Olympics, the NBAs brightest stars will be representing the US and easily winning gold. And I'm sure that they will be held in very high regard for restoring pride to US basketball. That will be the real DREAM TEAM 2. All those other teams following the '92 team were just along for the ride.
