However, even Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan have stated that winning Olympic gold was the highlight of their career as it shows that they are truely the best in the world. Why not listen to those that have succeeded in every aspect of basketball, and indeed life?
Easy enough to say once you've attained the succes they have
in the NBA. Frankly, I don't hear many players in the US
saying "When I grow up I want to win the Olympic gold
for USA basketball!" In fact, to be quite blunt, non-US
basketball (euro, etc) is viewed as a fall back position
for those who don't attract college or NBA attention. Over
here we call it the minor leagues.
