It seems to me that the top 4 men volleyball teams, Unified, Brazil,
US, Cuba, are all very good, all deserve GOLD, although they have to
fight for the unique gold metal. Why there is no some Magic players
in U.S. men's volleyball team like in the Dream Team?

The reason there were no "Dream Teamers" on the US volleyball team, was that
they were all (Karch Kiraly, Sinjin Smith, et al) playing beach pro
volleyball this summer. AH, makes one wish we lived in a dictatorship
like Cuba: "You *WILL* play in Barcelona!"

ps: Anyone else catch "team handball"? Reminds me of "war ball" we
played in Junior High in the 1950s. The US should excel in such a
game!

Unified team is not among the top 4, but Holland (Netherlands) is.

Most Cuban athletes love to play in the olympics. Americans need money more
than they need the olympics

Well you tried once in the world championships or some other big tournament.
The players were to clumsy, being former basketball-players the ball was too
small. Besides you don't have the clubs/handball-culture needed for it. From
where I live there are more than 25 handball clubs within a 5 km distance.
