    Jordan

    Deandre Jordan claims winning gold is bigger than winning nba title. Can't make this shit up. Nba players shouldn't even be playing in the olympics.

    Olympic medal would have a deeper meaning in you don't play for money but for the prestige and hopes of your home country...

    The signifigance of that alone is lost on alot of people...

    if you're an aussie, olympic gold medal would mean more than winning the aussie professional basketball league since it would be a miracle. but if you're a usa basketball player and think the olympic gold means more than the nba title, something is really fukked up in your mind set.

    Winning a YMCA basketball league is worth more than a medal in handball

    Oh, and the Aussies will give this USA team a real scare if both make the final...

    Expect them not to allow the US to play their flowing type game...

    Yeah US favs but I think you get a better line for the US during the game than you would them winning gold...

    gold medal in the olympics meant so much to the nba players, most of the stars passed up the opportunity.
