IIRC, Glenn Robinson was initially selected but didn't make it to the Olympics due to injury. He was replaced by Gary Payton. On the other hand, Penny Hardaway had "a pop" on his knee which he kept playing throughout the Playoffs. Should he took the time to assess that knee, it would made a huge difference to his career. But then again, there's no assurance if there's another invitation in Sydney.

AI the only guard selected as the top pick in this decade.

many sports personalities suffer from, self inflated egos, players thinking that they are better than what people say, but many forgetting that they dont play the game by themselves, so the accolades that players achieve, cant be obtained, unless your fellow team mates play. Hence why its a team sport. Problem why there are so many egos, is that sports personalities are paid too much, many of them end up fkn broke anyway. all major sports need to have a salary cap, players can make extras with endorsements, for those who show extra talent, and maybe end of season bonuses. with a cap on sports, more finances can be made avaliable to improve sporting venues and improve growing talents that can be nourished, and maybe we may actually have real sports persons in time to come, even have more persons invested in sports, also maybe a lower pricec on tickets, which will attract even more fans, and possibly more being spenyt on memorobilia, instead of these present day high priced pre-madonnas, who call themselves athletes.

What if you stop creepely getting close to the camera
