Why so much negativity over this team? Mistakes were made in the selection process IMO, but I am not going to put down anyone who went over and represented our country.
Allen Iverson, who I've always had a low opinion of, went up a few notches in my book. Broken thumb, high desire...after being 5 minutes late, he has done nothing but impress me.
I understand some players were afraid to go over there. I know if I was in that position (dream on!) security would be a factor for me as well- but these guys went and won a bronze. That's not good enough for some people. Hey guys, good job... you won a medal in the Olympics.
