Chris Kamen to play in the olympics

[OldAdmin]

Kamen looks to be ready to play in the Olympics. However it isn't for the United States, however for Germany. If you haven't been watching other countries have been doing this quite a bit this year. I think this is something that the olympic committee should do something about.

samuel dalembert is now a canadian citizen

I would like to see the rules be changed that you have to have multiple full seasons in a country OR be born there. I mean it is pretty shady of countries to be taking obviously american players onto their teams.

i guess dalembert lived in montreal as a child, after being born in haiti

the issue i see is that it takes 2 weeks to process his citizenship?

while there maybe someone else in dire straits that takes years

Oh.. just water off a camel's back.

Are you fellas scared of losing to Germany with Kaman? lol

i think they should play for who ever they awant

I am not afraid of losing to the German Dirks. However, I think that these games are supposed to show the talents of your country. If you did not live in the country (for an extended period) or were not born in a country you shouldn't be playing for their team. This isn't league play where you can buy players, however seems like some countries are. Maybe we could pull Yao Ming, Steve Nash, and the other foreign players onto out team.

That won't happen....
Only scrubs are playing for other countries instead of USA.

You won't see Lebron or Wade playing for Germany

Over the long run if other countries persist in using USA players, they are just stopping their own talent developing.

Most international teams have talent...
