The way i see it, once you go pro your Olympic days are over.
used to be that way, until the 94' dream team.
I know, and i think its wrong.

I agree, but it was cool to see Jordan play with Magic and Bird.

The 92 Dream Team was awesome, they killed everyone by like 60 points.

Yep. kind of embarassing how the U.S. lost a few time recently though.

The most important part was that they were professional.
"It's a lot of things you do for the Olympics -- a lot of jerseys you sell. We play the whole summer. I do think guys should be compensated. [...] Unfortunately, it's not there.

I have a better plan that will accomplish the same thing. Any able-bodied American NBA player who declines an invitation to try out for the US Olympic team is fined 2 million dollars by the NBA.
The NBA uses the proceeds to help less well-financed sports, such as weight-lifting, wrestling, etc.
Dream Team members are also fined in a similarly punative way for failing to play up to their ability or for failing to show good sportsmanship or teamwork during the Olympics.
Furthermore, all Dream Team players are required to stay in the Olympic Village, eat and socialize with the other olympians, and generally act as good ambassadors for my country and the game that I love every bit as much as any of them do. If they can't manage that then the NBA can go ahead and levy steep fines on them.
Maybe I'm ranting a bit here, but I'll never forget the pricks of '04 - like Bryant and O'Neal.
Ridiculous headline is ridiculous. All Wade is saying is that players whose jerseys are being sold to generate revenue should see some of that revenue. Completely reasonable.

I thought they were? the article suggests they get some kind of money.
To focus on those issues misses the bigger point: In essence, he is getting paid to play in the Olympics. Nike pays Wade a reported $12 million per year in endorsements. Nike also sponsors USA Basketball. Those jerseys Wade wants a cut from? They're made by Nike. You do the math.
Correct me if I'm wrong. He is suggesting he get compensation, because of his involvement in the Olympics?
If so, my eariler point stands.

I hope the Heat go down in flames.
