do you not know your boomers history? 88 in seoul we won the qf v spain then lost a sf to yugoslavia and the bronze medal game to the us. 96 in atlanta we beat croatia in a qf, got flogged by the us in a semi, and lithuania beat us for bronze. i have some history here. i wrote a famous letter to the editor in an australian basketball magazine telling of my disgust that longley chose to get minor surgery and miss the olympicsso he could get more nba money the next season. added to my chagrin was the telecaster employing him for expert commentary (rubbing our patriotic noses in it was how i described my angst). if he played half fit we contain sabonis better and win a bronze, imho.
Spoke too soon.
