Millionaire Players
The Dream Team, composed of the best basketball has to offer, should waltz through the Olympic Games at Barcelona. These millionaires should have paid the USOC for the chance of a lifetime to compete in what once was the ultimate of amateur athletic competitions.
The USOC is always soliciting contributions from citizens and funds from sponsors to support the United States Olympic movement. Collectively, the Dream Team could make a sizable donation either to the USOC or to an organization such as the Amateur Athletic Foundation of Los Angeles, which provides funding to underprivileged kids who can only dream about what it must be like to be an Olympian.
Anyhow, the Dream Team will satisfy the U.S. public’s insatiable desire for a basketball Olympic Games gold medal. Three cheers for the U.S. team of millionaires.
