There are a lot of guys who play in the NBA. There aren't a lot of guys who have a chance to win a gold medal, too. ↗

The NBA needs more of that 'it's-about-us-against-them' mentality. ↗

I remember when I was in college, people told me I couldn't play in the NBA. There's always somebody saying you can't do it, and those people have to be ignored. ↗

Jeremy Lin is the only Asian American in the NBA today and one of the few in any professional U.S. sport. His arrival is surely leading other talented Asian American athletes this week to contemplate a pro career. ↗

Overall, I think Michael Jordan is the greatest athlete in any particular sport. He dominated the game for the Chicago Bulls and brought the NBA to its greatest peak of popularity. ↗
