That's the equivalent of asking Tiger Woods to play in a golf tournament that has a top prize of twenty dollars. Nonetheless, it will be interesting to see if the NBA gets involved.

InsideoutO 0 Report post Posted December 10, 2008 I think this would be very fun to watch. I've always wished that team USA would be the NBA champs minus any international players. You could then replace the internationals with American All-Stars that fill the holes. This would be just as good tho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
