MJ on how grueling the competition was in 92

"I don't like giving advice on things like that," said Jordan. "Everybody has their own individual goals. Some players may have goals of representing their country, and if that's the case, they should go. But they should know what they're getting into, a grueling five-week process that will eventually take its toll on you mentally and physically."

and here you would have thought MJ loved playing FIBA ball with their Tickle'Me Elmo 3 point line


thank god Team USA escaped that grueling grudge match vs Germany's lockness monster Detlemph Shrimp

And celebrate by winning GOLD.

Lebron & co lose to "mediocre" competition in 2004

And sulk by winning BRONZE.

[LAmbruh]

I'd have to say though, 17yo Kukoc was probably their biggest rivalry.


MJ and Pip in interviews both seem to agree, they were headhunting this monster and I can see why
