BARCELONA: BASKETBALL; Barkley's Elbow Fouls a U.S. Rout
NYTimes Archives - Olympics 1992

Not surprisingly, Charles Barkley got into the Olympic spirit this afternoon by smashing an intentional elbow into the chest of the skinniest member of the Angolan team.

Leave it to the 250-pound Barkley to pick on a 174-pound economics student from a third-world, war-torn nation who has spent many a Wednesday night back home in Luanda searching the television dial in search of his favorite forward from the National Basketball Association.

That's right, the one, the only, and the occasionally ugly: Sir Charles.

The United States Olympic basketball team, which will face its first real test Monday night against Croatia, was predictably awesome in its Olympic debut today. But it was quite another impression that Barkley made on 24-year-old Herlander Coimbra, the opening day crowd here at the Palau d'Esports and his United States teammates. Coimbra was shocked that Barkley would "make violence" with him, the fans who cheered everyone else booed Barkley and some of the other Dream Team players decided to join in.

"If he keeps this up, they're going to throw him out of the Olympics," Michael Jordan said of Barkley after the United States highlighted a 116-48 rout of the African champion with a 46-1 first-half run. "We've already created some ill feelings here, and that didn't help."

David Robinson said, "We're trying to tell Charles that he can't get too much out of control."

please what's the outcome of Argentina Tunisia? Am not watching the match. Maybe web can hold on to a Tunisia win but man Argentina is another USA. They have won Olympic gold before so I don't really see Tunisia beating them.

For the patriotic folks all I can do is lol. This is not a time to be patriotic. its time to face reality. Nigeria has NO chance at all.
