Hi Kevin, sorry I couldn’t find a ‘contact me’ link so I had to write here I was wondering how to you figure out the “Page not found when click Next Page” problem with this theme. I’m having this problem with my blog http://essential-oils.most-effective-solution.com
Thank you.

@Mike – I actually think this team is better than the original Dream Team. Take all those guys in their primes and maybe not, but this team has all of their guys in their prime. AND, the first dream team won every game before even stepping onto the court. Everyone wet their pants in fear just at the thought of facing them. Today’s team does not have that luxury. They are playing against other NBA players on these other teams and still winning by 25.

@Alex – thanks for the kind words. I like your masculinity comment. Masculinity, manliness, manly is indeed about freedom. It’s about other things as well, but freedom is huge part of it.

Great post man.

The U.S.A. Team just has this spark that’s impossible to miss. Not only is it amazingly entertaining to watch their games, it also speaks deep down to our masculine nature’s.

Masculinity is all about freedom, and with that in mind, I can definately see why I am moved by watching basketball.

Thank you. Lots of great content on this blog!

I’m so impressed with the U.S. team this year. I remember watching the first dream team, with Jordan, Bird, Magic, and Barkley and just being in awe of the talent the team could put on the floor (and that was before they put Christian Laettner out there ). I think major league baseball missed the boat by not sending its best players to the Olympics, a la the NBA. Think of the international publicity!
