Olympic Fever

While Shaquille O'Neal has been offered a spot on the 2004 Olympic team, he hasn't decided whether he'll play. He has a gold medal from the 1996 games but passed playing in 2000. I personally don't understand why anyone wouldn't play if given the option. Is it money? Not wanting to stay in a dorm in Greece? What?

If he's just exhausted and wants his off time to himself to regenerate, etc, I can understand that but if it's money I'll be pissed.
