Rut makes a great point with regard to chronology and the appearance of greatness. He's still feeling his elation, the endorphins are still flowing, and he's got a gold medal. He may well feel that way in the end, too. Over the next 4 years, there will be four times as many NBA champions as there are Olympic champions.
My comment on sour grapes was about the fact that losing the NBA finals cannot possibly compare to winning the NBA finals. The bitterness of getting swept in four games is bound to infect his memories of making it to the finals. One is bound to rationalize it, especially during the adrenaline rush immediately following an Olympic gold medal.
