That's equivalent to saying that Greg Louganis didn't show any brilliance
in the Olympics.  Anyone who watched the diving knows that Mr. L. didn't
appear to be working very hard :-).

In both cases, you are ignoring the enormous amount of preparation that
lies behind those deceptively easy wins.  Did you watch the first game
against Spain, when the U.S. played their best basketball and put the
game out of reach while Michael Jordan was not even playing?  If you
think that having Mr. Jordan in the lineup is an automatic win, then you
have forgotton the Indiana-North Carolina game in the NCAA tournament.
