The Other Shoe Drops for USA Basketball

Anything less than gold is meaningless in basketball. They are pathetic. I wouldnt even play the bronze game, just send them back home.

and that's why you'll never be in charge of an olympic team.

Three point shooters or no, it's a flat out disappointment that this team can't go over there and dominate. When we had three point shooters, the excuse was they don't play team ball, we don't have them we lacked zone busters.

I think the some of the comments by the Greek players and coach were warranted following the victory over the U.S. They said, "basketball is more than dribbling and shootig", and another said, "big time players show up for big games."

Not a bad idea

page2 is always funny and well written.

Chuck Klosterman has become my new favorite Page2 writer even though he only writes a handful of articles a year. I've got to read some of his books sooner or later.
