U.S. Olympic team
« on: July 27, 2008, 05:35:27 pm »
Why is it that the US B ball team are all from pro teams.  Am I right that most other events are all amateurs?  I thought the Olympics were supposed to be all about the amateurs?  Or at least non-paid participants.

Its funny how they get paid millions then get schooled when they play a team who all have full time jobs elsewhere. 


Just Imagine how many rep points I'd have if I didn't piss off so many people.

They changed the rules a while back so that Pro's could come down and play in the Olympics also. 

With Hockey they actually schedule a break in NHL play so the guys can go back and play for the their home country.  I think they have to change the players status in the NBA / WNBA for them to go play.

And it is always fun to see some multi-billion dollar boy get schooled by some 5' 6" kid.  :D
