They are saying this team is almost as good as the original Dream Team!

Yeah, they have all the talent in the world, they just have to play together. That's the key to success. And I think they will, because the team has unselfish players such as Jason Kidd who will step up and lead by example.

They have been playing together

LOL, I know they have. My point is they have to continue to play together if they expect to win the Gold.

There is no way in hell the US shouldn't win the Gold, anything less than that is failure.

Yes they have...

But I can't help compare them to the Yankees.
I feel kind of dirty rooting for them.

It's like Timmy said anything but a championship is failure.

Different roster, different attitudes. Better productivity.

Yeah definately not the same team.

That team was constructed horribly. It had absolutely NO outside shooting and it consisted of a bunch of players that flourish in the NBA style but do not fit the international style of basketball.

That's why our superstars got beat by inferior athletes that knew how to play fundamental, team basketball.
