The changing feeling about USA Basketball

Nike has put out one of the best sports commercials ever in preparation for the Olympic games in Bejing. We always talk about how winning International competition is so much more important to players from other countries and residents of other countries. I don't know if our players will ever feel the pressure or responsibility to win like the players from overseas, but this year certainly feels different. Listening to them talk, watching them play, this year feels different. USA Basketball seems fun and exciting again, at least to me. Maybe for me it is different because if you read this blog, you recall how many threats and other insane crap that was written by residents of Spain (when we had Pau and the song came out). You may remember how much trash they talk about being the "best players in the world." I hope we beat the ever-loving crap out of them, and everyone else. Only a communist could not like the new Nike commercial...
