I'm not convinced this team will win gold at the olympics this year.
International game is different to NBA. It will be a marvelous coaching feat to see these dudes all get the shots they want in a game.
We wait and see.

In other US olymic news Tyson Gay ran the 100m 9.68sec! Yes 9.68SECONDS thats the fastest a man has ever gone over that distance. Wind a**isted though..
Powell & that other Jamaican beware. Bejing will be interesting

^^ how so about the shots? its not like this is the first time this dudes are playing together...they spent enough time before the qualifications and consequently played absolutely fantastic basketball, they destroyed squads they had previously lost to....This squad DOES NOT suffer from ball hogging at all....

Co-sign!
I swear their opponents must be choking by just looking at these pics especially Lebron

I gotta say that i think they do have ball-hoggin coz MELO is in the team...that dude fires more shots that Yo-sammedy SAM!!!

and i think he can be problematic..remember against the greeks?? FIBA CHAMPS? but i think they can be an explosive team.. im def rooting for them...

i think the past issues with the team were more defensive issue.. the failed to guard on the  perimeter... and also the european big guys can shoot..so hope they do well

BUT SHIT I HATE MELO! THAT NIGGA IS GREEDY

Team USA Cruises Past Canada, 120-65

Quote
The Americans made 16 of their first 20 shots and ended at 65.7 percent (44-of-67), getting plenty of layups and dunks at a sold out Thomas & Mack Center in their lone game on home soil before completing their Olympic preparations in China.

Canadian coach Leo Rautins called the Americans "obviously the most talented team, without a question, in the world."

I don't know man, numbers don't lie:

State Farm USA Basketball Challenge
July 25 - USA 120 vs. Canada 65

USA Basketball International Challenge (China)
July 31 - USA 114 vs. Turkey 82
August 1 - USA 120 vs. Lithuania 84
August 3 - USA 89 vs. Russia 68
August 5 - USA 87 vs. Australia 76

Lets see how the "Redeem Team" fair in actual Olympic competition as they play the opening game against the hosts China ft Yao Ming & Yi Jilian at 10am EDT (4pm SA time I think). I actually want to see them win this time.
