Lotsa baggin on the NBA and its playahs. And prolly rightfully so. Frankly, most of the "Star" NBA players elected to stay home because of "security concerns." And some of them, frankly couldn't be bothered to represent their country.
Its been mentioned here that a National Team should be chosen, whose only "job" is to train for the Olynmpics, as other nations do. I offer that the rosters of many nations are peppered with NBA players, ie, Manu Ginoblil from Argentina (Spurs), Carlos Arroyo from PR (not sure the team), and several from Croatia are on NBA rosters.
I'm not defending the ego-maniacs of the NBA, but allow me to say that MY San Antonio Spurs are a team of a buncha truly nice guys who do alot for our community, and they win!!!!! Tim Duncan is the consummate team player, as well as arguably the best player in the NBA, and The Admiral, David Robinson retired jes this past year. Volumns could be written about David's accomplishments on and off the court!!!
So, not all players in the NBA are playahs.
