How not to draw an offensive foul

My memory of the 2000 US Men's Olympic basketball team is that they were something less than a triumph for diplomacy. While they swept their way to an 8-0 record and gold medal it was also the team whose constant trash talking and mugging for the camera thoroughly pissed off the rest of the field. In fairness, however, this was also the team that gave us the spectacle of Vince Carter dunking over the 7'2" Frederick Weis.


Just remember as you watch that the player being dunked on was selected by the Knicks in the 1999 draft ahead of Ron Artest, Jeff Foster, Andrei Kirilenko, and Manu Ginobili.
