I many of the "best" turned down the offer to be in the Olympics.Why? Who knows? What a chance in a lifetime.But once again,seems like they were thinking of themselves instead of a chance to represent their country! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jpshakehead.gif well... the top argentine tennis players sort of, they gave vague excuses... anyway, I'm sure they will regret not being there when they grow older...

Ray Allen of the Seattle Sonics, his wife was due to deliver a baby (their first I think) during that time frame so he declined the offer which I can understand. However, many of them said they had concerns about security. Probably way more security in Athens than most of the nightclubs those guys go to. Anyway, sounds to me like they just didn't want to go.
