You areon a team full of great talent, and it isjust you, your teammates and coaches,with everyone else cheering against you.It's a great feeling to show others thatthe USA is the best country when itcomes to basketball. My advice to theguys would be to remember what you areplaying for. Do not get caught up in your-self, rather sacrifice and do what is bestfor the team.”
