Melo still feeling it, has 10 points in the first quarter.

And Vlade Divac. Who can forget about Vlade?

Vlad is a Serb. Not a Croat.

kukoc wasn't playing in the NBA during 92.

Wasn't Sarunas Marcilinous (no chance spelled correctly) in the NBA at this time?

You're right, Kukoc joined the Bulls the next year ... I was going on what Doug Collins said on TV recently about Toni. Shoulda fact-checked before posting.

And, yes, Sarunas Marcilinous was in the NBA in '92, won a bronze with Lithuania that year. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Šarūnas_Marčiulionis

And, yes, Petrovic was in the NBA, and Olympics, in '92.

But, fact of the matter is, the Dream Team faced very few foreign NBA players in '92; now, there are 47 foreign players either currently on NBA teams or with NBA experience in the Olympics. Higher level of competition than in '92.
