great points - i agree with the age limit.Zeno said:I can't say I really care... They need to set a limit on the age of the players, if they can do it in other team sports why not basketball? This would give us a chance to watch the younger guys who might be more likely to treasure representing their country. I can't forget the teams of thugs we've rolled out to represent our country before in Pan Am games or World Championships etc, almost shameful.
Soccer limits the teams to Under 23 yrs old with 2 exceptions of senior players...the same could be done in basketball and you'd still have the kids like LeBron but you'd also have the top college kids eligible as well. I think it would make the games more interesting and competitive.

i think he was just talking about the team sports like basketball, if that makes a difference in your mind.Shane H said:Completely disagree. Track/Swimming sports in which the olympics is really all about has no age limit. Heck Carl Lewis competed into his 30s.
Its all about sending your countries best. These guys are our best. Thugs or no thugs!
