Which 2004 American Olympian said this? “We've got to conduct ourselves as model citizens. That's not too much to ask for"
UPDATE: My buddy Marty guesses (or googles) correctly: it's Allen Iverson (registration required) of all people. Live and learn, Allen.
LeBron James?

Allen Iverson - here's me showing the extent of my Olympian ignorance - who's that?

Marty wins.

Bad boy NBA player (sorry Born Free)

Maybe it'll rub off on him after the Olympics are over.

Thanks for playing, Odo.

who would of thought Iverson would be capable of making a complete sentence?

I haven't kept up with Iversons career lately. Did he do something worthy of scorn lately? Something that makes this statement appear hypocritical? He did voyage to Greece to play on the US Mens Basketball team when many other high caliber NBA players chose to not heed our nations call and sat out this years Olympics.

Torchy...you have it right. I find it quite amusing that the some of the "best" basketball players on the planet were afraid to travel to Greece.
Be vewy afwaidddddd!
