So, the Men's Olympic Basketball team blew it. The Dream Team played like a nightmare. The powerhouse that shut them down? Argentina.
Way to go guys. I see that Iverson made a big help of himself on the team. When will you all realize that he never was the player that he could be. He's not playing with heart, and he doesn't want it bad enough. The Pistons won, not because they're fantastically good, but because they have heart and played as a team. They wanted to win.
The men's Olympic team went in expecting to dominate and got creamed. Good. Maybe the next time, the win will mean something.
Well, I suppose I could say I'm beating a dead horse, but I completely agree with Maurice, Iverson, much like another Philly sports hero, Terrell Owens, is highly overrated. For what these clowns get paid, they better be giving 110%, and that's not just for your club team. If playing for your country and representing your nation in front of the whole world isn't incentive enough to try your hardest and put forth effort, then I think someone else should be found to take your place the next time. Buh-bye to A.I., and that whole damned team, including Larry Brown. But, to summarize, I hate to say it, but I think it was good to have these cocky pricks get humbled by a world (soccer!) power like Argentina. This isn't the World Cup, it is Olympic basketball. By rights, the U.S. should have that gold medal, each and every year.
