It's Not Enough to Win?

LeBron was being interviewed on SportsCenter this morning.  He told the interviewer that it wouldn't be sufficient for the US National team to win games on this tour and subsequent tournament.  Rather, they need to "blow them out".
 
Am I the only person who has a problem with this?  You won't hear Tiger saying this leading up to Medinah this week.  Nobody will talk about blowing out their preseason or Week 1 opponents in the NFL.  Tom Lehman and Woosie aren't talking this way.  But Bron Bron says we have to blow them out.  Who freaking cares?  Don't we need to win some international games of significance before we start worrying about running up the score? 
 
Of course, ESPN not only lets them get away with this line of reasoning, they highlight it in the Sunday SportsCenter package.  Their heads are SO far up Stern's ass that they can taste what the Commish had for lunch today.
