    They will. The American players are arrogant and think they can play half assed and still win.

    I put my money on Spain to win it all.

    lol The only thing i'm confident of us winning medals in is the cycling.

    no it didn't but it was still a badass race

    you should have a dude in the 1,500 with balls of freaking steel i watched his last college race and it was the crap dude led the whole thing and would not let anyone pass him

    Never heard of him...our only hope is the tae-kwan-do team, in which we're world champions. Outside of that, we're lost.

    I'll make some research for that 1,500m dude.

    I think your totally wrong this time around. Theyve set up this team totally different and they've been together for a couple of years now. Dwight Howard is going to annihilate anybody that plays inside and they can't dare us to shoot like they have in years past.

    i think the three year commitment they had them sign on for is going to make all the difference this year and agree with what rm7 said

    Maybe so, but there's a lot of egos in that squad and I'm not sure that they'll gel as a team.

    ^ They pretty much already did, quite nicely I might add, at the FIBA Americas Championship (Olympic qualifying). They won't desroy every team like the original Dream Team did but I'll think they'll handle everyone fairly easily. The rest of the world is not as close as everyone thinks, but we have to actually try to throw together a decent team.

    Just an enquiry, but have you ever seen the Euroleague? Watch a game and you'll see that it is.

    Sorry to change the subject, but Michael Phelps is going to dominate. He will not top Spitz. But could take home 5 and with the relay 6 Gold. Good Luck home boy.

    Phelps is the freaking aquaman two world records set at the damn trials

    you can't tell me that any euroleague team could beat an nba team

    No, and I don't need to. That's like me saying, "Have you ever seen the MLS?" when saying that the U.S. is catching up to the Premier League. I'll say it again, the rest of the world is not as close as everyone thinks. We put together a couple of crapty teams in a row that had no form or function other than collecting egos. Now we have an actual team. Don't get me wrong, it's not like it was back in '92 but it's not going to be pretty either.
