I agree that Yugoslavia deserved to win last night and that Yugoslavia has some good talent.. But this team the USA put out in this tournament was not the best.

I am not sure but what you are seeing from the NBA players is just an extension of the attitude in the league...

You just dont see the team work or spirit that you saw when the original dream team played 10 years ago. You dont see the players taking theres more than self attitude...

When MJ, and Stockton,Malone, Barkley, Magic, and Bird played on Dream Team One there was no whining, no worrying about other activities.

Peter May best desribed it not too long ago as that the US is sending "the most accomodating players, not the best"

Until the NBA players decide they want to play for more than money and stop woorying about their acting and singing careers the US will have a solid team that is competitive but it wont be the best the US has to offer...
