...pros tend to want to know their roles. "You can't allow anybody to lose his ego," he says. "That would be us beating us." The world keeps getting stronger; defending Olympic gold medalist Argentina, starring Manu Ginobili of the Spurs, is back, and France, with the Spurs' Tony Parker and Boris Diaw of the Phoenix Suns, will be among the tough outs...

Back on the peninsula, we walk through tangled, prickly foliage and over jagged rocks. Laden with three cameras, Parker forges ahead alone, the din of Woodside's LNG plant and the whistling wind blocking out attempts at voice contact between us. Parker uses the factory's fiery emission stack to get his bearings until, half veiled in shadow a few meters above the valley floor, he finds what he's looking for: the "climbing...
