Prepare for massive buckets. In order to get sufficiently hyped for tomorrow night’s friendly versus those $&#%’ing Canadians tomorrow night, we’ve gone into complete Olympic mode. We’re hooking this video up to the big screen in the Dime office and just letting it go on repeat. Every time we rewind to the 4:26 mark for Michael’s flush, we salute the flag.
How are you getting ready for the Games?

Just wondering if anybody knows where the basketball team is staying this year? They usually don’t stay in the olympic village (’04 they stayed on the QE 2) but since its China does anyone know if they are being forced to “squat”

the haters POV says:
all this hype for this summer’s team. watch them go lay an egg. the only way we win gold is if the dream team goes to beijing. i’m not getting my hopes up to be disappointed.

Can anyone believe the top scorer in that dream team was Chris Mullins?

Chris who ?

CJ says:
Haha, good call Zach. I always wonder the same thing. One of the themes of the game is always supposed to be the amateur athletes coming together and people from different countries being friends. Is it possible that anyone on USA basketball is kicking it with the other athletes? Do they care about a pole vaulter or speedwalker from the US let alone Croatia or any other country? And do they bring their entourages?
Dime get some coverage on the USA Basketball Olympian’s life!

@post1:
The team is supposedly not staying anywhere near the games. The air in Beijing is so polluted that it’s nearly impossible to breathe. Players will be given masks when walking around the area and will have to train outside of the city. Even on a clear day, you can’t see the sun there because the air is this hazy brown color. It’s pretty bad and hurts your lungs after a little while.

Ha ha, I am amazed it took until #7 for one of my cousins to take the bait. I think they respond more strongly to jokes about Chris Bosh.

Do you guys know anything about the housing situation over there for the US?

Harvey Dent says:
Charles Barkley was the team’s MVP. I am not sure Mullin led the Dream Team in scoring.

Zach says:

@Zach
Melo got a 1 game suspension for punching mardy collins and another 19 for running like a b*tch afterwards.

SayItAintSo says:
@17, well I think it’s comparable if you look at it in terms of the percent of the season thats missed. NBA plays like a billion and WNBA plays like three so the punishment is almost equal in those terms.
Who cares about them nappy headed hoes anyway? Where the hell is Imus when you need him?

I’d like to introduce a SCARY thought about what could of been…
Can you imagine if Shaq or Zo had played on the Dream Team instead of Christian Laetner???
July 24th, 2008 at 4:43 pm
doc says:
@Jason Ican imagine they’ll be right on the bench just like Laettner.@Kobe Soft ass Spainards Go USA.Thats why Pau Gasoft yall best player.

Good Ol Days says:
sad to say that the good ol days are over. the NBA team will never recapture the glory of the Dream Team. With the current breed of selfish, score first, sell shoes second NBA players, its no wonder they suck so much.

doc says:
@Good ol Get off the dream team nuts.This squad gonna bust everybody ass.

Ashlov says:
Best “Dream Team ‘92″ play ever was USA vs Cuba. The ball went out of bounds once, and was saved by Jordan, who threw a long pass across court out of bounds, saved by Magic behind the back inbounds to Bird, who hit a three.
Just fucking unreal.

yoda says:
give about a month to these “oldies” to get in some kind of shape, and they would kick this year celts asses. so much great players in that team thats so unreal. even fat as he is, chuck would give 20 points to atleast 65% of current pf’s.
