    Magic is on his basketball deathbed as well, with SEVERE tendonitis in his knee's. A decade of going at each other in the greatest Basketball rivalry any of us have ever seen, had taken it's toll on the best two players I've ever seen. The Olympics were Larry and Magic's gifts to us and each other.

      No. Just think, it could have been an even better team had they been smart enough to put Shaq on there instead of Laettner. Imagine 12 NBA hall of Famers, two of whom are likely the best ever at their position, one who many consider the best ever at any position.
