Perhaps it is about time we quit calling the U.S. Olympic Men's basketball team the Dream Team. It was an appropriate name once, maybe twice. As for this year, I kind of hope they don't get a medal. The NBA lost me as a fan long ago as the league moved from team play to a selfish, individualistic style of play. This year's incarnation of the 'Dream Team' is a great example of this style of play, and it would probably do the NBA good to have to take a long, hard look at itself after its selfish stars come back home without medals, and without hanging their heads. And those heads should be drooping somewhere around their size 21 Nikes.
