Hard to blame guys like Shaq, McGrady and Wallace who didn;t go over because of concerns about their safety.

Prior to teh Olympics there were legitimate concerns about Greeces ability to provide adequate security. We have seen so far that they have been able to do so but if there was any conern about safety then I can understand that they might not want to go.
I actually thought that fear was a pretty weak excuse. If the Olympic Games was something you truly thought was the crowning accomplishment of your career, you'd still go despite the fears. It's pretty obvious that for some pro players they really think representing your country is more of an exhibition game than anything else.
