Every tournament same story.. USA will beat every other team, all others are crap. And for 5-6 years USA don’t know for gold.
I agree this is the best USA team since dream team, but reality check is needed..
Argentina, Spain, Russia, Lithuania, Greece.. should be interesting Olympics to watch

LMAO @ post 4 ..
the teams they faced were a joke at the fiba americas championship in 2007, the best ncaa teams could beat pretty much all of them except for say argentina’s B team.

im not saying this edition of team USA is poorly constructed, because they are certainly better than pretty much every usa team since 1996, ill give you that.

but 40 point blowouts against full strength legit contenders in spain and argentina, and not to mention darkhorses like greece and lithuania? i wouldnt be so arrogant as some fans are of team USA winning gold in a romp, but they certainly have a better chance than in past years for sure.

@Yall, LMAO re. your post 7!

I think the USA will take it in China, but remember in the international competition its all about nailing the open outside jumpers. That driving to the well in traffic shit doesn’t wash. We’ve lost in the past because we haven’t adjusted to the international style of game (and our U.S. big guys relatively suck (e.g., Chris Bosh), except for D. Howard).

as long as Kobe, Lebron and Kidd are running things on Team USA, they will be just fine.

everyone else is playing for silver and bronze. that includes my guys from Argentina and the Spanish team that barely beat them in the world championships last time around.

I heard he wanted to be let out of his contract to find madd money in the NBA.

Or not. lol. But imagine if that was the case. And realistically does anyone think he could land a gig with an NBA squad as a head coach?

who cares? the coach got fired?…big deal.
half the players on the spanish national team can barely speak english; the other half can barely speak spanish.

wow, what an announcement. It always seemed as if pepu was the perfect fit for this team. they really played with passion and that combined with his great zone defense was great to watch.
hope they will do great regardless, just for the sake of compettion

lmao @ post 3

yo, I guess you didn’t see the Olympic qualifier last year huh? The shit was a wash. With Kobe on the team, there is no comp. So go drink your tea, eat your crumpets, and keep hating on the best team in the world: USA
