Team USA uses hotel aliases

Members of Team USA are keeping an age-old tradition of celebrity aliases alive. Spies tell me that one of the star players goes by the alias "Bruce Wayne," the alter ego of "Batman," and another has taken the name "SpongeBob SquarePants," the animated cartoon character from the hit TV show of the same name. Several Team USA players have been using their favorite aliases during their stay at Wynn Las Vegas this week. In the stands, when the U.S. Olympic squad faces Canada's Olympic men's basketball team tonight at the Thomas & Mack Center, could be Michael Jordan, who has been known to use the name "Clark Kent" and "Mr. Sterling" at Las Vegas hotels and restaurants.

this is news?

they have been doing this for years, a friend of mine worked in the radisson in Salt Lake City where opposing players stayed and he met a few players and they all used alter egos as to avoid fans. this is an age old tradition.

July 26, 2008  05:57 PM ET

Wow...its a good thing they avoid fans.

July 26, 2008  06:24 PM ET

I'm still surprised people call Kobe a rapist.
Aquited means, not guilty.
This is not O.J. Simpson's murder trail.
Look at the woman, and look at Kobes wife......lets be for real. She wanted it, and then tried to get paid. That's called a ****.
