There are a lot of guys who play in the NBA. There aren't a lot of guys who have a chance to win a gold medal, too.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A lot of guys go into the NBA not being able to shoot the ball well, but then they become great shooters.
Some guys seem to jump right out and win tournaments, but for me, I've been the kind of player who is getting a bit better each year.
Every athlete wants to win an Olympic gold medal, and I'd be lying if I said that's not what I wanted.
Among the world elite there are a handful of athletes who are physically capable of winning it.
That's the awesome part. Little girls now have a chance to look up and see women playing soccer, basketball, softball and now hockey - and know they can win a gold medal, too.
The thing about the NBA, any pro sport, is, guys don't know how to take care of their body.
You look at a guy like Michael Jordan: I can't believe there will be other basketball players like him.
Guys is supposed to be able to be original and dress like how they want to dress. The NBA can't dress no grown man.
Guys do not have a genetic blueprint that allows them to understand or love sports.
On the PGA Tour, guys finish in the top 10, make a ton of money and think they're great players. In my era, you had to win. We didn't settle for anything else.
