Argentina Coach Demands More of NBA Stars

In the PHILLIPINE INQUIRER, the Agence France-Presse reports "defending champions Argentina are looking to their quartet of NBA stars to help inspire a second successive Olympics basketball gold. Manu Ginobili, of the San Antonio Spurs, Luis Scola, a teammate of China's Yao Ming at the Houston Rockets, and Chicago Bulls' Andres Nocioni all star in the American league but the Spurs' Fabricio Oberto could be key. Oberto, 33, who made an impact at the Athens Games on offense, is now an uncompromising defensive and rebound force with the Spurs. ‘I need to play with the team. They are all expecting that I get back to my old role and they are helping me by passing me the ball,' said Oberto who has shrugged off a leg injury which sidelined him for 10 days.” (link)
