For the players, especially the ones that play in the United States, the Olympics are more important.
When the Olympic starts, basketball is the most awaited team sport, and the biggest stars of all countries participate. You almost hear nothing about soccer or baseball, etc, but everyone goes cucco when Yao Ming takes on the USA, even if the end result is a blowout.
The main problem for this is the huge gap between 1st place and 24th place
Its like an expected blowout everytime.
In the Olympics, only 12 teams compete, and because its usually the 11 best in the world, with the 12th team usually being the crappy host, the games are closer and more enjoyable to watch.
