That will be an interesting matchup. I think that the US team is getting better and I wouldn't be surprised that Iverson comes up with a surprising showoff, helped by Tim Duncan to win the game, and the gold medal too. However maybe they deserved to lose for being too over confident and not sending their real super stars.

I dont think the USA team are on form and seriously doubt they will get a gold. I almosr doubt whether they will recieve any type of medal?!

USA's biggest problem is, we sent over a bunch of guys who are used to being the star, and when a whole bunch of stars get together, it becomes a battle for who shines brightest, instead of, let's go win one for our country.

Instead of one team, with like 15 guys, it's 15 teams of one guy, trying to play for that next endorsement bonus. Sad, but true.

I would honestly prefer they didn't win, and when they got back, had to forfeit their NBA contracts. Nobody plays ball anymore, it's, "I've got my own shoe!", or "Did you see me on the McDonalds commercial yet?". I miss the days when players competed on the floor, but learned to get along off the court. Which made things a lot easier when assembling a Dream Team.

Look at Larry Bird, and Magic Johnson. They played for the Celtics/Lakers, when they were the big two. But in '92, they were able to get along fine. And moreover, once the sport became Jordan's he was still aware what was at stake for his country, not his wallet.

It burns me up. I'd play that sport professionally for free if I had the chance, and these guys whine about $20 mil a year. Just stupid.

i agree. But I guess this team has regained back the attention and interest that international basketball was lacking in the US. Before it was just about watching the real Dream Teams beat and outscore everyone else. Now is more about competition and real game play. So people are at the expectation of outcomes.

That's true... Even though the US shouldn't even be involved at this point, it's still great to watch other countries go out, and do what they do, THE RIGHT WAY, and do it for their country. It's my fave sport, so I just love to watch. And above all, it doesn't much matter who wins (this time around), just so long as the players remember, it's a game... Which is every country except the US.
