The NBA all-star game was Sunday, and although it was better than some the of the games I've seen in the past, I'm still burning on something. At halftime, the USA Olympic team members who represented us in Beijing were honored with rings for their accomplishments. I'm okay with that. Prior to this however, they recognized the other all-stars from other countries like Pau Gasol and Dirk Nowitzki. They pretty much said, congratulations for what you do, now get out of the way while we give rings to the American guys.
I didn't like it because it wasn't necessary to point out that the U.S won again. The NBA is building greatly with foreign influence. The all-star game is a celebration of the best players in the NBA. I don't think it was an appropriate time to salute America's gold medal again. It's just kind of a slap in the face to the foreign players, as well as the other American all-stars who weren't on the Olympic team.
