THE UNDEFEATED writes it is time for USA Basketball to "establish standing men's and women's teams." The men’s team is "favored to win the gold medal, but there is neither shock nor awe among teams it will face in Tokyo." The "luster from 1992 has dulled considerably." None of these players are "ultra superstars." The Olympics have "become an unnecessary strain on professional NBA players." A "number of stars, either too busy, too fatigued or too beaten up by the NBA schedule, passed on playing." USA Basketball should "turn Olympic participation in the Games back to young players."
