Hey all,

As the Olympics draw to a close I just wanted to get everyone's idea about how the best coutry should be judged.

General perception is the country that has won the most gold is considered to have been the best over the course of the 2 weeks. Going by this then China is considered to be the best at this Olympics winning 50 gold medals.

The flip side of the coin is to look at the total number of medals won to consider who has performed the best, now I note that most of the American sites like ESPN, Yahoo (America) have gone with this theory in the fact that American would be on top with a total of 108 medals 10 clear of China.

We got No. 1 pick.

Let me say that just made my day. I am currently away from home (Australia) working on a tiny island called Nauru and the conditions arn't great let me tell you. Being away from friends and family for 3 months isn't great and with internet connect speeds of 30kbs or less, keeping tabs on the Blazers is hard.

Couldn't give a stuff about all that today now, considering the outcome of the draft, made it a great day for me here thats for sure.

Can't wait for the draft now, I will be back home and will get to watch it on TV. Oh how great it will be.

Oh well just wanted to share my thoughts. Oden or Durant doesn't worry me either on of them will help us.

KP's phone will be ringing off the hook between now and draft day.

Have a good day all. Enjoy.
