It was a machismo thing, so it’s cool (sarcasm intended). That’s when a guy like Sir Charles Barkley’s very, very good to have around, and why in the final analysis, there is no comparison between Barkley’s Dream Team and this one. Barkley would have planted Campazzo like the little tulip he really is. Jordan and Bird were known not to tolerate cheap shots, either.

Its a smart move, give yourself what you think is the best track at winning.

You know there will be some carryover from these games into the NBA regular season, nobody can make a scene on this stage, but each cheapshot, each time a dude yaps; the guys on team USA are logging it away for that jan, feb or march midweek game.

Brazil also basically beat Russia, if not for a ridiculous buzzer beater by the Russians. Give the Brazilians some love!
