I love watching the Olympics. The world’s supreme sports competition showcasing athletes from across the planet. The thrill of victory… and the crushing agony of defeat.
And I love NBA basketball. The Dallas Mavericks anyway. Ok Dirk. I love Dirk. And Coach Carlisle. He looks like George Jetson. I love the Jetsons too.

| Go Mavs! |
I was excited to watch Olympic Basketball on Monday – USA vs. Argentina. So excited I almost made popcorn to go with my peanut M&Ms. Excited until the entire 46 inch flat screen was filled with the sweaty faces of Kobe and LeBron and Carmelo. My least favorite players. UGH. No Dirk. No Mavs. No fair!
It was easier for me to cheer for Argentina with Mano Ginobili.

A one point game at half – more exciting than I expected. Apparently LeBron left his talents behind in South Beach. Luckily Kevin Durant saved the day and the USA pulled impressively ahead to win another one for the red-white-&-blue.
I think the Olympic team rosters should be filled with college players like Perry Jones and Adonis Thomas rather than professional mega-million dollar men playing under multi-year contracts.

I think it’s highly unfair to people our basketball team with multimillionaires, too. Let’s highlight some college talent. Or high school, if they’re good.
