IMHO they have been arrogant a-holes from the first "Dream Team". They always draw the biggest cheers when they lose. There was a myth that they were the best in the world and should be allowed to compete against the pseudo-pro athletes of the Soviet Union. The problem is that when they turn pro they totally forget the concept of basketball as a team sport. They also no longer know how to function without that extra step, or two, or three or more afforded by NBA referees deprnding upon their stature, so they can entertain the crowds with their illegal above the rim antics. At least the Globe Trotters don't pretend to play by official basketball rules.
Today, its not the Soviets beating them but Latino and lessor Europaen teams.
