I dont really see what is funny, whether or not RJ belonged on the team has nothing to do with this classless action by this lady. Even if she didnt respect his play or effort on the team, she should have respected his space as a person. When she approached him in such a negative manner, she entered his space.And this is often how athletes and superstars get in trouble, they react the wrong way to negative outlash by crazy fans/fanatics. But at least RJ handle it in the right manner. But this goes to show, most situation are not started by the superstars like the media sometimes try to make you believe, its often started by someone who ends up coming out looking like the victim.
Anyway, just because Rj didnt play well doesnt mean he didnt represent the US in the right manner. RJ was one of the players staying after practice trying to improve his play as the olympics went on, Rj was on of the guys standing up on the sidelines cheering the US on every step of the way, even when he would get benched in the 4th quarter for Shawn Marion. Rj was on of the guys, who was willing to face the press & express the teams feeling after losses etc, even when the newspapers where mostly printing negative things about the team. So RJ represented the USA well in my opinion, things just didnt go well for him on court, but the cat still hustled every 2nd he was on the court. And he never let his negative offensive play effect his effort on defense.
