    Nene's participation had been in doubt as the Nuggets and the Brazilian Basketball Confederation negotiated an insurance policy in case the forward gets injured in Las Vegas. </div>

    Hopefully he doesn't get injured and his shot blocking and low post moves improve a little. Nene still has all-star potential, he has just been injured too much in his career.

    Man, I hope he doesn't hurt himself. I love how much his game improved last year once he got serious about conditioning and eating, the knee seemed to love the decrease in weight which helped him alot too. The Nuggets need him to be at his best this year so I hope his Olympic aspirations don't get in the way of that.
