Don't believe everything you think.
VERY sarcastic.
Too bad this aint a streetball tournament, then maybe the US would have a chance.

Manu Ginobili scored 29 points to lead his nation to another victory over the country that used to dominate the sport, an 89-81 win in the Olympic semifinals Friday night.
For the first time since 1988, the gold medal will not go to the Americans. And for the first time since pro players were added for the original Dream Team in 1992, the United States will not be the Olympic champion.
No it doesnt suprise me they got beat. Our players dont know how to play with each other, but there still is no way the world has caught up to us basketball wise.inFINSible said:AHEM!!! t2? Nothing to say?
SMadison29 said:There are certain types of players that you can't include on this type of team. Marbury & Marion are a couple of them because they are not winners. They're good individual players that are stars but they can't carry a team & aren't really team players. Stoudamire, Boozer, & Okafor are four other players I don't think should be on this team because of their inexperience & lack of "team" play.
A team that would dominate the best of the world:
PG-Jason Kidd
2G-Kobe Bryant
SF-Kevin Garnett
PF-Tim Duncan
C-Shaquille O'Neal
Bench
PG-Lebron James
2G-Allen Iverson
PF/C-Ben Wallace
PF/C-Jermaine O'Neal
Shooting Specialists-Ray Allen, Michael Redd, & Allen Houston

It wasnt our best players
Even though it is a team sport, our players are individuely better and if they played together as long as the rest of the worlds players had they would dominate
Say what you want but those are the facts
Ask any expert and they would say the world hasnt caught up to us. Making my self look stupid. All you can say is that 3 teams beat us. You dont use any logic. Try thinking outside the box.inFINSible said:They never seemed to have any problems overcoming these obstacles before...
The ONLY FACT is that the USA got their tails whupped for the first time since they allowed dream teamers....Don't keep making yourself look stupid by saying that the rest of the world hasn't caught up....It's asinine not to recognize that.
