Is It Dream Team, or Cure for Insomnia?

I am fed up with reading about how we should disband the Dream Team concept for Olympic basketball. Is the United States supposed to send its almost-best athletes to the Games so it will be more fun to watch? How about having the U.S. 4X100 relay team carry a lead baton? Let’s make those Kenyan had some element of suspense. But the way to do it is to raise the performance level of other teams rather than decrease ours.

This is not the Dream Team, it’s the Sominex Team.
