Me Against the World: Basketball in Beijing 2008 Olympics

my issue stands: i will root for every team versus USA basketball team.

but their tenacity at hoping to land the gold (and the media coverage surrounding it, AND they are all saying the right things making you want to root for them) is way, way too much that it leads you to believe that they already have won it.

my only reason for accepting a USA win is that it's not as fun if they won't compete anymore in FIBA ball, which could become the case if they decide to quit after losses pile up. a mercy win, if you like to call it as that.

the whole Philippines cheer for Kobe, Lebron, Wade. i quietly support Calderon, Papaloukas, Jasikevicius, Ginobili.

let the games begin.
