These Olympics should mark the end of the Dream Team

14 Aug 2012

The gold medal for the most predictable gold medal of the 2012 Olympic Games went to the USA’s men’s basketball team. I think we can do away with that predictability – and I think I have a way to do it.

7 Aug 2012

I had not seen that comment from FIBA at the time I wrote the Op piece, thanks for including it.

These Olympics should mark the end of the Dream Team

Many teams had at least 1 NBA player in their squads, including France, Australia and Nigeria. I am not advocating kicking NBA players out of the Games, I am suggesting that we LIMIT the number of players from that, and every other, league. What I am saying is, if Team USA has to mix'n'match players from different leagues, it will potentially level the playing field. Team USA can still include Kobe, LeBron, Carmelo, Durant, Chandler and Love -- but they have to find 6 players from other leagues to fill out the squad.
