In the DALLAS MORNING NEWS, Brad Townsend reports "last week, President Bush said in a television interview that in addition to attending tonight's opening ceremony, he might attend Sunday's basketball opener between the United States and China. United States Olympic Committee officials said they know of no confirmation that Bush will be there, but Team USA basketball players talked as though it's a done deal. It's going to be exciting,' Mavericks and Team USA point guard Jason Kidd said. You can put Game 7, or times it by 7, because it's going to be something that nobody's experienced before. I don't know if anybody's had a president come to a game to watch.'"
