NBA players in the Olympics seems odd to me. I thought it was an Amateur event... I know the arguments but pros competing?

Once long ago, long long ago, the Olympics celebrated athletes like Bob Mathias and Rafer Johnson. They were college guys. True amateurs. It was the Olympics as the Baron had visualized. Now? Who gives a shat?
