| What do you think of Becky Hammon possibly playing for Russia in the Olympics? Personally, I thought she got a raw deal, not even being considered for the U.S. team. So, if she suits up for Russia, I wouldn't consider her a traitor but I'm curious as to what other's think. |

she didn't get a raw deal, she has been asked to participate in the past and declined due to other commitments. The USA team committee, since they have so many good players to choose from, honor sacrifice above all else...and the current crop of players have given up sleep, family time, salaries, to compete. Becky chose not to sacrifice
IF she plays for Russia...well her "all American girl" status might come into question :wink: |

| It seems they may call travelling violations in international competition. |

| She isn't the only American player who may be able to qualify for the Russian team. Rumor has it that Tweety Nolan and our own Kelly Miller are also in the running for a potential Russian Olympic spot. |

At least Kelly is getting international recognition she doesn't get but deserves in the US
I'm sure its considerd an honor to be asked but it's not for pay. It requires a lot of sacrifice. I have mixed emotions about something that's very patriotic :? |
