Iverson – Not Having Fun

Allen Iverson, Philly’s basketball bad-boy says this about his Olympic experience thus far:

"It hasn't been drop-dead fun, like we thought it was going to be. It's been tough, obviously, with the two losses. But I feel like, when it's all said and done and we get the gold medal, then that won't even be thought about. The fun part will be standing on the podium with the gold medal."

Ummm, Allen… Remember Lithuania & Puerto Rico??? Both hotbeds for NBA talent, I might add – NOT! The previously undefeated (since ‘92) dream team has lost 2 games this year. And now, before the first quarterfinal playoff game you’re presupposing gold? I’m not a coach, but I’d bet that attitude is what’s led to 2 losses this year.

I predict that Allen will return from Greece with ever having had “fun” and without any gold he didn't already take with him...

Fortunately for Allen he carries loads of bling bling with him so he'll at least be able to pretend he won.
