Just got back from a business conference and Magic Johnson was one of the keynote speakers. Someone asked him the question as to whether we would dominate again. He said there was only one dream team. He said that Coach Daly split them up East vs West for practices and that those were the most intense 'games' he has ever been a part of. He summed it up in that the Dream Team was a team. They wanted to be up by 30 at halftime. They didn't care who scored. And that today's player is different. And until that changes, we will not dominate again.
Now I did not watch any of the recent games and only read stuff in the paper or here or similar places. And there seemed to be one guy taking a lion's share of shots. It is not just International ball, either. Certain NBA teams have that problem as well and you know they will never win it all.
My point about the college teams is that they play as teams more than as 5 individuals. Here is an interesteing quiz...can anybody name the starting five for Greece without looking it up?
