I dislike Artest as much as the next person probably even moreso since I am a Pacers fan BUT there are many who balk at Kobe representing Team USA because of his rape case.
And AI with his "image" and brushes with the law.
Magic with his HIV status and Malone, Barkley and others with their drama...
Fact of the matter is if it were truly about character and representing the ideal morals of the U.S. none of these players would've played. I mean really... why start having standards now.
