Things certainly have changed. Maybe not for the better.
I really enjoyed the 1992 Olympic team, the games were a showcase of what basketball could be.
So I was really excited to actually go to a game in 96.
USA beat China 133 -70, and frankly looked awful doing it. The game wasn't basketball, but basketballish theater. Just a bunch of set pieces for each of the stars. One guy missed 2-3 alley oop dunks in a row before he finally made it.
That was sort of the beginning of my lack of interest in basketball.
