    Im surprised Magic isnt playing the Aids card, Oh thats right he is the only one in the world that has a cure but wont share it. He looks like a Macys Thankgiving parade Balloon. Basketball people still watch this stuff.

    I look forward to not watching the Olympics this year. The stench of the NBA style of basketball and celebration of rapists, wife beaters, wannabe gang bangers and dopers rewarded with multi-million dollar guaranteed contracts is only one reason I decided not to watch.

    They will lose - take home the bronze or silver - maybe.

    Too many "I" players, not enough "we" players and no strong center. Sorry USA.

    The Olympic parody points directly to the NBA's importation of foriegn talent. It's a great thing for the game. The LPGA is dominated by foriegn players. As we write the Women's U.S. open has not one american player in the top dozen. Sirenstam and Ochoa are great to follow.
