		In Donn Nelson and Marciulionis, East met West Coast, and the pair who spoke the language of the game forged a bond that would grow deep enough so that when the Soviet Union crumbled in 1991, one friend could ask another to devote himself to a cause.
		Marciulionis played with Arvydas Sabonis and a handful of others, and even though it was the Soviet national anthem they heard as they received their medals, those proud players -- and the rest of the Soviet Union -- were aware who made up the heart of the team.
		Nelson, like Marciulionis, is excited about the play of the young Lithuanian team (2-0) but admits disappointment over the absence of the NBA stars for the United States.
