    why not? Somebody is making money of their games why shouldn't the players get a piece of the pie?

    Why are they less entitled to revenue than the company that televises their games? Or the company that sells olympic jerseys?

    Exactly. It's an invitation. Not a job opportunity.

    I want Jordan , Bird and Magic to come on various tv and radio shows and declare that this would not happen with the Dream team so we can have some good old fashioned generation flame war.

    if you were an accountant would you do accounting for America pro-bono?

    No olympic athlete gets paid for their participation. Why should NBA players be any different?

    The olympics are about representing your country, not about getting paid because it's a burden of your time. If he doesn't want to do it, he can find something else to do with his summers.

    Wade is getting the backlash when he was just AGREEING with Ray Allen who brought it up first

    Christ you people cant read.

    And i dont see why its wrong to say that. Obviously the Mens national basketball team for USA is the top drawing attraction of the olympics. The revenue stream cant be hogged entirely by the USA Basketball.
