Fuck NO! Fuck NO!
The 92' dream team would kill the current USA Team... Back then they didnt have no sissy ass hand check rule and no floppers if you set a screen in front of Barkley or Malone you will get your ass ran over. People forget about Scottie Pippen, what made his so good along side Jordan was his killer defense. Pippen would give Lebron fits on the defensive end, and to top it all off you have Air Jordan himself the dude could literally take over a game by himself so when the going gets tough pass the ball to Jordan he wont let you down.

things like the dream team piss me off.. i had always thought that the olympics were supposed to feature no one but non pro's in them, and once they allowed pro's to compete for medals, it kinda lost it's appeal to me..
don't these pro's get enough coverage and money and exposure playing in the nba?? why the need to come over to the olympics where the up and comers should have their day in the sun so to speak??

I was under the impression that you send your best athletes to the Olympics, which would mean pros IMO. I mean you play to win the game, right? Plus other Contries do it too. Fuck half of the NBA go play for there home country. Same with hockey in the winter Olympics. I'll put the pros in everytime. I don't want a pick up team playing to represent us in the Olympics, c'mon!

c'mon?? it's the fucking olympics, they were started and are supposed to be about the best non professional athletes that a country has to represent themselves with..
i don't think it's right that any pro's play in them, be it hockey, basketball or jerking off imo.. if they wanted to be an olympian, they never should have went pro imo..
there was a time that if an athlete wanted to go pro, it meant never being able to appear in the olympics again, and i think that's the way it should be as well..
like these people don't get enough glory playing in the nba or nhl, do they really need to add an olympic medal to their collection of championship rings?? how is a non pro supposed to compete against people who play sports for a living is what i'm saying??
i do understand that for most olympic hopefuls, the olympics are their lives.. they live to train and train some more, the difference is they're not getting paid for their work, until they become professionals, which should come after the olympics the way the were designed..
