Bulls' forward Andres Nocioni is hungry for another gold medal after taking home the top prize at the Olympics in Athens in 2004, according to The Chicago Tribune.

"I love to play for the Chicago Bulls because I'm the kind of guy that when I play somewhere for more than two years; it becomes my team to me emotionally," Nocioni said. "But with the national team, you are representing your home country. So I feel it in my heart; I feel it in my chest; I feel it in my national colors."

He wore his gold medal to his introductory press conference with the team back in October of 2004.

"The feeling is really nice. Everybody in the country is watching you on TV and calling you or sending you e-mails," Nocioni said. "Everybody is thinking about the game. Unless you're from my country, you can't understand how important it is."

Argentina is 3-1 in pool play in Beijing thus far, with a game coming against Russia on Monday.
